[b][color=bc8dbf]"Now wait a bloody minute!"[/color][/b] Cassidy growled as she caught up to Loch and O'Malley. [b][color=bc8dbf]"D'ya mean ta tell me ye've been gettin' all dis information from somewhere an'ave been just keepin' it t'yerself!"[/color][/b]

[color=teal]"Perish the thought, Cass m'lass."[/color] O'Malley replied before Cassidy could continue any further, raising his hands placatingly when the woman began holding him at crowbar point. [color=teal]"I weren't keepin' nothin' to meself. It's just that the process of gathering information takes time, is all. And we haven't been here all that long. I'd only just finished compiling my first round of findings when Loch asked her question."[/color]

[b][color=bc8dbf]"Right..."[/color][/b] Cassidy stepped back from O'Malley and sighed tiredly. O'Malley watched then as Cassidy's gaze drifted to Loch with concern. The animatronic's sensors indicated that Cassidy's concern stemmed from her deeming Loch to be the most vulnerable where their little group was concerned. [b][color=bc8dbf]"Here!"[/color][/b] O'Malley watched as Cassidy handed Loch the crowbar with a tiny grunt and received an awkward thanks from Loch. [b][color=bc8dbf]"Ye best keep this now that we've confirmation of cold iron fearing creatures, aye!"[/color][/b]

[color=teal]"Aye."[/color] O'Malley agreed with the assessment.

[b][color=bc8dbf]"An' just t'be on da safe side, why don' ya let me lead."[/color][/b] Cassidy nodded at the gun and extended it in a ready stance, close to her chest, but aimed steadily ahead as she proceeded with caution toward the Gift Shop.

Once she had turned her back on the two of them, O'Malley noticed Loch glance at him as if to say 'What's up with her?'

[color=teal]"Oh that's just Cass bein' Cass."[/color] O'Malley said reassuringly. [color=teal]"She's always cross with the folks she cares about. I know not to take it personally."[/color] With that said, O'Malley went after Cassidy.

[color=teal]"Maybe I should take point."[/color] O'Malley suggested as he moved to walk beside the armed woman. [color=teal]"While my durability enhancement and self-repair systems have yet to fully reactivate, I do still make for some good cover. Plus, as a machine, I can be rebuilt if I get taken apart, makin' me the most expendable of our number. And what's more, if we run into someone or something that can be reasoned with, the chances of a peaceful resolution go up if the first face they see is friendly and seems to be unarmed."[/color]

Duck-Billed O'Malley rolls a [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/29980]7[/url] to try and convince Cassidy to let him take point. Cassidy can mark experience if she allows him to go first.
