Jennifer, that's another thing what will happen with her, will he have to kill her? If so what would Stephano think? He sighs and points the gun at one of the targets on the ground, before being able to shoot the blond haired private makes him lower his gun.
"Here." She says handing him a pair of ear plugs before putting in her own, Pewdie slips his ear plugs in before aiming again at the target on the ground. He closes one eye, takes aim, and shoots. He doesn't hit the middle of the target but he does hit right above it, private Goodrich nods as she looks at his work. "Not bad, sir, not bad at all." He smirks while twirling his gun.
"A lot better than you thought, huh?" She smiles, though he sounds calm and happy the hand holding the gun is trembling.
"Yeah, now," She goes over to one of the targets hanging on a tree, grabs it and gives it a good push making it swing back and forth. "lets see how you do with a moving target. The Barrel clones may be mindless but the main Barrel will notice that we're in and start giving orders to fight back." Pewdie aims and shoots again this time hitting it dead sender, he can tell by private Goodrich's face that she's impressed. "Wow... I didn't think you could hit it, uh no disrespect my lord." Pewdie shakes his head.
"No I didn't think I could either..." She smiles.
"Well, lets hit off a couple more rounds and then move on to cross bow."
Pewdie nods. Back to General Bro's cabin, General Bro carelessly tosses his book onto his bed, not happy with the past history of his people. He's not feeling well, nauseated, light headed, shaky, and off balance, Stephano's not feeling any better either. Nauseated, light headed, stomach ache, and some pain in his wound, the German teen gets up and starts pacing the room trying to keep himself from stumbling. After he succeeds to pace the room without stumbling twenty five times he decides to work out while waiting for his boyfriend to break. He takes a running start, jumps, and grabs onto the chin up bar above his door, this takes Stephano by surprise making his jump.
"Ludwig, are you sure you should be working out?"
"Ja," He pulls himself over the bar and holds before letting himself dangle from the bar. "I muzt be in top zhape in order to fight." A wave of dizziness washes over his causing him to let go of the bar and slam onto the floor landing on his side. After a moment of laying on his side waiting for the dizziness to to subside, when it does he gets up and stumbles back to his chair. He moans rubbing his side, Stephano's face is painted with worry.
"Are you alright?" His voice heavy with worry.
"Ja, landed on my damn gun." He pulls out his revolver and examines it for any damage, finding none he puts it back in its holster. Stephano sighs bafore picking up the now warm bowl of soup.
"Alright I'll eat half... maybe more."General Bro smiles knowing he's won and starts eating when Stephano does, the warm soup coats Steaphno's soar, empty stomach making him feel much better, when finished General Bro makes him take two table spoons full of medicine. "Ludwig?"
"Ja?" General Bro asks looking through the drawers at the bottom of his bed for a new book.
"You never answered my question."
"Und vhat question vould that be?" He asks looking at a copy of 'Dracula' published all in German.
"Do you think we can save Jennifer?" In shock he drops the book back in the drawer.
"V-vell I think that iz up to her, veather or not zhe vantz to be zaved. If zhe triez to kill ze king ve vill 'ave no choice." Shephano smiles.
"Then we can save her, I know Jennifer she would never hurt a fly. I know what you're thinking, what about Piggeh? Well I think all of us have wanted to kill Piggeh at one point or another." General Bro shuts the drawer not really feeling like reading anymore, he stands up and sits on his chair.
"Vhat if zhe hurt you?" Stehano shrugs still smiling. "Vhat if zhe killed me?" His face falls.
"Th-that wouldn't happen..."
"Vhat if?" He presses.
"You're a master with guns, you know eight different types of hand to hand combat and you're pretty damn good with a knife. There's no way she... she could kill you. No one can kill you!"
"Vhat if?" He says once more hearing panic rise in Stephano's voice.
"There is no 'vhat if'!" He yells. "You can't die you're too strong!"
"Lizten," General Bro's voice is tough but firm as he takes Stephano's hand. "You are a mazter zwordzman but you ztill got ztruck vhen you veren't paying attention." With his free hand he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small piece of paper, he lets go of Stephano's hand and hands the note to him. Shephano unfolds the paper and after reading it hope fills his eyes.
"Jennifer!" He laughs. "This is Jennifer's hand writing! Does this mean shes sorry for joining the Barrels?" He shakes his head, not giving Stephano a straight answer he closes his eyes and sighs.
"Mr. Chair found that, he found it on ze arrow that almozt killed you. Ze arrow inztead of having a metal tip had a ztone tip."
"But..."Stephano's face falls once more. "the only one who uses stone weapons is..." Stephano trails off. "No... no, no no, no, no!" No, you're lying!" He yells slamming his fists on his knees.
"I vould never lie about zuch a zing."
"Th-then you're playing a joke! A sick joke! Just like when you told me Piggeh had died in battle, nothing but a sick twisted joke!" General Bro grabs Stephano's face and forces him to look into his eyes. "I am not lying und believe me... I vish I vaz." Stephano's eyes fill with tears, the German teen sits on the bed allowing Stephano to hug him and bury his face into the teens chest letting himself cry as hard as he can.
"Why?! Why, I loved her! I adored her, she took care of me, she loved me! I looked up to her, she was my sister! MY FUCKING SISTER!" General Bro strokes Stephano's hair trying to calm him down but at the same time letting him vent. "We did everything together... everything... we were happy... we were a family..."
"I know." He pats his boyfriends back. "I know."
"Everything..." Stephano's sobs are slowing down as he snuggles deeper into General Bro's chest. "Ludwig... everything was perfect... we got together... th-three years..." He hugs Stephano.
"How about thiz, after thiz vhole mezz iz over vith ve move in together?" Stephano looks up, his eyes are red and puffy.
"What?" A bit disgusted by the snot running from Stephano's nose to his mouth General Bro pulls a handkerchief out of his breast pocket and wipes Stephano's nose.
"Ja, ve 'ave been friendz for zix yearz, loverz for three of them. Ve get along great zo I zee no reazon vhy ve zhouldn't... uh... vell you get ze point. Zo vhat do you-" He's interrupted by Stephano wrapping his arms around his throat and pulling him into a tight hug.
"Yes! I'd love to! Why did you change your mind? I've been proposing this for some time but you always shot me down." General Bro gets a heavy blush and pulls away so he can look Stephano in the eyes.
"I hate zeeing you thiz zad, zo after everyzing iz zaid und done... I'd like to zee you vith that zame twinkle in your eye. Und I'd like to zee you... vith that fiery zpirit... th-that I fell in love vith." He says the last part fast and turns away showing that he's a bit on the shy side with the subject.
