"With any luck, she won't even know you went out on your own," Devon laughed. "I'm out without permission too," he added with a chuckle. Mutio giggled softly and caused Devon's smile to grow. "Mutio here, on the other hand has permission to be out on her own, just like Shadow," he explained.
"I don't run into Shadow as much as you'd think, he likes to hunt alone and no one approves of my opinion on healing," she explained, smiling as they reached the clear water near exit AA-115.

Mutio helped load Sablen into the APC and buckle him in. "I'll return with you, Ms. Askella usually isn't too happy when she has to unload wounded that didn't get injured under her watch," she explained, climbing into the APC and buckling up. Devon seated himself and started the APC up, rumbling out into the storms and heading southwest of the city, toward the mine.

"Everything's gonna be okay, Sablen, we'll get you back and rested up, then you can talk to Sym about your magic, she's pretty skilled with her ice magic, she might be able to give you a few pointers," Devon said, smiling as an IFF marker blinked on the radar. "Almost home," he said.
