(Old Etienne)
Etienne had to take a moment to gather herself. She couldn't cry...she didn't want to cry...she had been through too much to cry...she wouldn't cry...But damn her she felt the tears in her eyes run down her cheeks.
When she could fight it no more, she rested against the wall of the cave to cry soft body rocking tears. Several moments went by before she gathered her composure enough to go around the rest of them. Damn him. Damn him for doing this to her. For making her feel this way. For being such an asshole.? Damn herself for still loving him so much.?
She came just inside the mouth of the cave, but did not go any further. She nodded to Chase. "I assure you that that won¡¯t be necessary," she said to Calle smiling a weak smile that she hope hid her emotions.
(Old Chase)?
?
Chase rested in the dark, letting the lovers have their time together. ? He reflected on his own lonely past and basked in the fact that this would all be over soon...not soon enough? ?When Flynn and Callie came back from their tryst that he could hear, damn his heightened senses. ? He didn¡¯t look up as Flynn questioned him, he continued to sharpen his blade as that was his only comfort now. ?¡°Do I really have a choice?? Stop the evil or let the world go to shit further.? Whenever you all are quite ready we can go.¡± ?He said calmly devoid of any true emotion.
When Etienne returned without her man and was still well dressed he pondered but said nothing.? He would speak to her in a bit, if she allowed, but even he could smell the tears. ? He felt bad that she was hurt for whatever reason, lovers spat but still, he didn't want her hurt regardless.? Honestly, this was one mission he would be glad would be over¡none too soon!
?
?¡°So did you¡um refuel?¡± ?He glanced up at Flynn briefly, but looking towards the cave entrance waiting for Sicilian to return shortly.

(Old Callie Carson)
Callie finished buttoning the last button on her shirt as Chase spoke. She looked up at him and cocked a smile, "He's fully recharged. My work here is done."
?
The redhead then looked over at Etienne, relieved she was OK after she'd briefly disappeared outside. "Gave us a scare. Stay close," she asked, with a faint smile. "I think we're about ready to continue on toward Miller's Crossing."
?
(New - Flynn)
?
The Pookah couldn't help but smile himself at Chase's question and Callie's cheeky response.? "Yeah," he said, gathering up his gear.? "If I was any more refueled, I'd be lit up like Bourbon Street at Mardi Gras and shootin' out glamour every which way."
?
Looking around the cave, Flynn saw Callie and Chase nearby, and Etienne hovering just inside the entrance.? He frowned slightly, giving the cave another look around. "Where's Sicilian?? I'm ready to go but we gotta be together.? Especially if'n we take the route I'm thinkin' about takin'."
?
[Sicilien]
The bounty hunter eventually made his way down back to the cave, briefly hesitating when he saw Etienne resting against the entrance to it.? His eyes flickered for the smallest of moments but then he went inside as if nothing ever happened, though he mood was rightly foul.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting," Sicilien said, sitting down against a rock as he sighed and looked around at everyone.? He smelled of smoke and gunpowder, which was nothing unusual for him, but the scent was much stronger this time around, and when his fingers shifted on the inside of his coat, he grumbled when he felt the cigarette pack had become much lighter.? Peaking inside he could only count 5.? Fuck.
"I'm ready to leave this place anytime.? It's time we moved on anyway."
