Elliot thought about it and smiled at him, "Because you don't seem weathered or worried... You're at ease."

She kissed him again and laughed as he said she didn't believe someone his age could lead the resistance, "In my defense. You were only 17..." She kissed his temple, "And a bit of a short fuse."

[I]Elliot sat back and watched as Jacob spoke to the soldiers. She was amazed that they were so easily swayed by the fact that Jacob knew the city. She supposed he also knew how to shoot.... But surely, someone with more experience, even just life experience would be the wiser decision. She didn't say anything though. She went where Jacob went now. Sure, she had threatened to break away to leave but that was more so because she was curious to how he would react. She could just barely shoot a gun. She was better off with him, even if she wouldn't admit it.[/I]
