Jason paused, seeing the man's problem. "Bring them," he said simply "if they wish, they can join us and live in Australia. Or they could fight with us, if they wish." "They can still be under your command, with Naina of course," he paused once more "until we at least get back home..." "And then they will be ranked once more, I wont make them re-do basic training but I'll try and keep them together," he smiled kindly Achille and nodded to Naina. "Not one will be harmed for no reason, though if they decide to turn once in our safety...we will have them discharged," he spoke softly, hoping the man would say yes. If was a genourse offer, but it was the least he could do. He knew Auraka would do the same.

Naina Collins I looked at him, smiling lightly. I knew that those boys would not turn against someone who gave such a good offer. Achille nodded slowly. "We will come. It is the best thing we can do." I watched as he left the tent for a moment, and at least twenty men came running up. My eyes counted them twice. There were thirty men, some of them years younger than the rest. "New guys?" I asked Achille. "Yeah. But they are still loyal to me. They are nothing to worry about, Naina."

He watched him go, shifting slightly as he waited. They needed to get out of here quickly, before they were caught. Once they returned he quickly nodded towards the space they had entered. "In pairs or trio's, apart so they don't know," he said and looked at Naina and turned to Achille. "Get her a hat, and jacket," he said after a moments thought "Naina, tuck her hair under neither and pull the jacket around you." If she didn't, he knew, she would be caught.

Naina Collins It was not long before one of the others returned again and I hid my long hair as carefully as I could. I knew what I was doing, sneaking around unrecognised was one of the things that I had been trained to do by Gem's father. It was something I had often had to do in the past, seeing as I seemed to be one of the best at it.
Not that I would use that talent any more.
"I had better go with the two of you, seeing as you were with me before," Achille added. A couple of his men left. The whole group seemed to split up easily, working their way out towards the different exits. "A good thing we were meant to be out on patrol anyway, tonight away from the camp. Nothing will look amiss there."
I smiled. They seemed to think of everything at the moment. I was glad that Jason was being nice about this whole mess. My father would die in this war, and I would make sure of that.

Jason nodded his approval at the group splitting up, admiring how easily they worked together and followed orders. "You taught them well," he commented before walking with them towards the exit they had entered. He walked normally, ignoring the nervous. Something his own teacher had taught him. His eyes flickered over to Naina naturally, and was suprised at how different she seemed already.

Naina Collins
I knew the others would only do as they had been trained. "They had the same trainer as I did," I told him quietly as we moved. Only at my request though had Zelphar taken them all on. He knew he was a good trainer, but he had not wanted to do so.
I was glad to be out of that camp, it was a little less of a strain to control that other more visious side of me. Once I knew we could not be heard by the Italian's back at the camp, I spoke once more. "Looks like the Lioness is back. Much as I tried to keep that other side of me from returning."
I sighed at the thought. There was no telling how bad things would get with that happening. "Though I think I can control that other side, when we're away from that base at least. Let me get too close to that side and I will struggle against it."
I was only warning him about the danger that base spelt if I was near it.

His eyes flickered to her as they continued to walk, incase others were watching, and nodded slightly. "I know," he said quietly, smiling as the larger group slowly came back together. They were almost at his camp, safety and warmth waited. Counting all the men, he nodded. They were all there. "Steady march," he said moving to run ahead so they would not be attacked.

I smiled as I watched him run ahead of the group. I would not do any running for the moment, and though it was dark, that mattered not to me. Achille looked over at me, when Jason vanished into the darkness. "Dove sta andando?" "Per per avvertire l'altri per non attacargli c'è ne. Potrei avvertirlo, la maggior parte di loro non mi fiderò di c'è ne. They' re soltanto appena apprendimento fidarselo di personalmente. A tempo se lo fideranno tipi, ma non all'inizio. Benchè, you' il ll lo ha ragionevolmente facile, considerandolo che tutti non hanno avuti mai mio nome realmente," I replied in their language. The guy nodded. "Quello sarebbe stato inizialmente duro per voi, muovendosi intorno vicino loro e dovendo ignorare qualche cosa che gettassero voi, appena in modo da se lo fiderebbero." We reached the first of the tents at that moment, and I moved to the front of the group, taking off the too big jackt and letting my hair show easily. At least that way people would recognise me.
OOC: Where is he going? To warn the others not to attack any of you. I might warn you, most of them will not trust any of you. They're only just learning to trust me personally. In time they will trust you guys, but not at the start.Though, you'll have it fairly easy, considering you all never had my name really. That would have been hard for you at first, moving around near them and having to ignore anything they threw at you, just so they would trust you.

His men stood before him, listening to his words. Some, he could tell, weren't happy. Othere were delighted that there was more men, meaning more rest time and less guarding shifts. The war would be over soon anyways.
As they approached, he turned and nodded to Naina and Achille. "They will be welcome and safe," he said simply as his men moved to help their newests brothers to find a place to sleep.

Naina Collins I smiled as I moved over to stand next to him. "If I remember anything, very few of them can speak English, those that do are not good at it either. Most things will confuse them."
That was the only thing that was going to be a little barrier for them. "Just tell Achille what you want them to do and he'll get them working, I think he trusts you enough there."
I smiled. "If not well, they will listen to me. I doubt any of them have forgotten the past."
It was good that some of the others were happy to have these guys with them.

He nodded slowly, and a smile grew on his face as he watched his men. "Language is not a barrier," he said simply and nodded at the group. None of them understood each other, but they were still making friends. They couldn't share their stories, and lives. But they could work as a team and trust.
He looked over at her again. "How's the calf?" he asked

I smiled at him, glad for a moment away from the others. "I guess every one will get used to them. I'm not the only one now that came from one place and joined another. Might make things easier for me."
I knew that would be true. At least I was used to things now. I looked down at that leg. "It's fine," I replied. "Pretty much good as it was before I got hurt. Something that will not happen again."
I would make sure of that one personally. "Though don't expect me to let my father get away from me again. If he tries to run again, I will kill him."

He nodded. "Good, because if you were I was planning on going after him," he said with a slight smile. "He has taken to many lives to live in peace," he sighed, running a hand though his hair "at least you are okay."

"I've taken many more than he has. At least though, I regretted it and have been working to repay that. He cares not, not even for those who serve him personally over there."
I sighed. Though he was my father, he had ignited something in me that made me not want to let him get away from this war alive. "He may be the last of my family left alive, but I do not see him as such. That General has too much to answer for."
I smiled though. "Not that I don't doubt you out there, but he's too fast for you to last long enough to get him."

He knew she was teasing, but didn't mind. "Come on Naina," he said, knowing they should still try and keep it quiet. "We need to plan, we have another 30 men needing homes and I need to talk to Auraka," he sighed, waving over his best man, giving him a few quick orders before heading towards his main tent. He knew she would come, she always understood his quiet gestures and orders. Though he would never order her, merely request.
