"I don't know," Phoenix shrugged. "I do't think she's had the chance yet."

"Observant, aren't you?" Ebony asked curiously. "Okay, I'm not gonna beat around the bush here." She turned to Lightning, "I noticed that you've been a little bit off-kilter lately. Delfina noticed it too. What's wrong? Is it because of Doc?"
Lightning blinked, but tried to avoid looking into the Viper's intense, emerald green eyes, "Look, I really don't want to talk about it right now."
~~~~~
"The fact that I can actually understand what they're saying," replied Delfina.
~~~~~
"Well, she and Kathleen both went with those going to Cheyenne Mountain," said Ricardo, "Maybe she'll get a chance to talk to her then."

Raine smiled weakly as she felt her father nudge her hand gently, relaxing from the contact. "Thank you Dad... you'e so sweet...."

"That's a whole new ball of wax." Kathleen raised her eyebrows. "What do they say?"
Strip gave Lightning a long, slightly reproachful look. "It might be better if you finally talked this out."
Doc just settled again. "Things'll look up eventually. They always do. Count on it."

"Maybe," Phoenix said picking up a loose crystal. "I'll ask her when she comes back. But right now I want to stay here; I like this place."

Raine gave a weak nod, her head still on the pillow. "Do you want to tell thoses stories from when you were young? I would love to hear them..." She smiled weakly.

"Well, other than announcing that this is their territory," replied Delfina, "They're saying that they hope to bring down a much better-tasting meal tomorrow."
She turned to Kathleen, "I think that we should at least keep a lookout around here."
~~~~~
Lightning hesitated, looking from Ebony to Strip and back again. The red racer sighed. He realized that Ebony was just going to keep pressuring him until he talked about it.
~~~~~
Ricardo carefully avoided the sharp crystals that were sticking out. He settled on the ground, feeling as if he were in a dream surrouded by all these crystals.
"This is nice," commented the Stealth.
(((((OOC: And my eyes are starting to droop... I really can't think of what Lightning's going to say to Strip and Ebony now... I think I need to go to sleep now... Goodnight...)))))

<<< Just one more post and I'm turning in for the night. >>>
"Ah..." Doc thought for a moment. "You wanna know how I got into racing in the first place?"
"Let's hope it's not a two-legged one." Kathleen frowned. All those unprepared civilians were going to be hard to keep an eye on. "Shayla and the young captain are already watching, and maybe one or two of the cars."
Strip added, more bluntly. "If you'd been any more wrapped up in your thoughts, one of those bullets coulda gotten you."

The soldiers came back with Julian with their rifles raised because the previous situation had demanded it. They lowered them as feeling secure and safe, some holstered them and some just put the safety on.
"Too bad we left that base for the others to take, including armament." One of the soldiers said.
"At least the SAM launchers are disabled, I doubt they know how to get them working again." Another one replied.

((((Please puppet til I return from school, thank you )))) Raine smiled again and nodded, "Yeah, sure... I'd love to hear it."

Checking to see that the twins were still asleep, Phoenix settled down on the ground as well. "The only tunnel I know goes to the underground river."

"I think Ebony would be one of those cars keeping alert because of her sharp senses, but I don't think we need to worry about the sabertooths," said Delfina, "but there are other nocturnal predators that we might have to watch out for. I can hear and smell them just as well."
~~~~~
What Strip said made Lightning flinch a little. He hadn't been thinking of that. "Sorry..."
"Be thankful that you're still alive at this point," added Ebony, "Chrysler knows what could've happened back there."
Lightning sighed, "I guess you're right..."
"How about telling us what's bothering you," suggested the Viper, "It'd help you feel better and we can help you through this."
~~~~~
"Well, maybe there could be other tunnels around here," said Ricardo, "Sometimes when we're exploring for the first time, we miss things that we don't even know is there."

"Could be," Phoenix said. "I never got the chance to really explore yet since I was pretty banged up for a while when I got here. And they really didn't trust me going off by myself."

"Well, it's been over two weeks already?" asked Ricardo, "They trust you now. No one came after us when we left with the twins."

"True," Phoenix said as she got up slowly as to not jar the twins.
