Ah, Americans. Those who own guns here mostly have hunting rifles or shotguns, though I can't say I envy you that much though I would love to have an Einfield.

Lucky you, where do you live actually? Because I know for sure I would need a whole lot of certificates and licenses to have that :S

Adina was surprised to hear that Saul had decided not to join the Free Polish Forces and instead join the British paratroopers, most of the Polish Jews she had met who had fought for the Allies, had some connection to the Free Polish Forces, but she decided on not to treat him any way else, he had fought after all. "The paratroopers? Where did you see action, The Netherlands if I am not mistaken?" She asked him as they passed a watchtower, manned by a guard with a rifle. They were always on guard, nobody knew when shit was about to hit the fan.

"The bombing happens often, yes, at least they are kind enough to warn us. Much kinder than the Germans and Arabs were." She still remembered the first bombs that fell over their home back in Poland on that first September day. The sky was suddenly filled with countless grey planes, and suddenly the sound of bombs going of in the distance warned Adina and her family to get into the basement. And they stayed there, crawling together in fear, for an hour before it was over. Her father and brother were called back into the army, while the rest of the family fled east, hoping for safety. And then the Soviets came, and darkness descended upon Poland and all of Europe alike.

"You could say that, though we have to guard the community by day too. That reminds me, you'll be set up for guard-duty either today or in the coming days, looks like Danny has put in a good word for you. Let me guess, Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I?" Soon they entered the infamous barracks, but Adina preferred to just call it "home", she was happy to have somewhere to call that. "You like it? It isn't much, but at least you're here in the Holy Land."

Everything about the land was out of place if you had only just arrived, only the stinging, Mediterranean sun burning the ground reassured one that you were in the Holy Land. At least it was strange for Adina to be there, but after the few years she had lived there she had grown used to calling this her home. A Polish Jew, finally home in the land of honey and milk, the ancient land of Israel.

Danny, or Daniel as was his real name, was an old and trusted friend of Adina. They had fought back in the old-country against all odds, and today she had been told that his cousin would be joining them and many others to return to the Holy Land. Adina didn't know what to expect, how Saul would sound like or look like, and it was a surprise to her when she finally saw Danny's cousin embraced what must have been him. Like many others, this was the first time relatives had seen their loved ones for years, some separated during escape from the Nazis or being divided up when they were sent by train to the camps of death. The memories of gas chambers and execution-squads was all to fresh in the mind of the world, and just as much for Adina.

She let the cousins finish their greetings before Danny introduced her to Saul, and told him that she would help him out. As Danny hustled off, Adina stepped towards Saul and reached out her hand to him, smiling. "Welcome Saul, I've heard a lot about you from Danny, but you don't look like what I expected. I'm Adina Isaacs, a friend of Danny is a friend of mine. Come, I'll show you were you'll sleep."

Adina gestured Saul to follow her and started walking past the communal farming fields. "You fought for the British I hear, must have been tough leaving the old-country, knowing what was going on back home and not being able to help. I don't blame you, you and the other Polish soldiers fought bravely and you never let Poland down. So I guess that you were given a warm welcome by the Irgun on your way here?"

Thank you, because my mind was blown by all that text...But I'll try my best to get a post up by tonight :)

I'll be honest with you, I had to look up what most of those terms meant, but I guess that isn't something too terrible. Anyway, looks fine to me on both characters. I was thinking that Adina came sometime in 1946 as she started to realize that the Soviets weren't going to pull out of Poland and that she was going to live under another dictatorship.

Plot number two sounds appealing! Pm or thread?
