The ball of wet, clumped together slush landed square on the back of Quinn's head. She whipped around, growling fiercely, and her hands curved into claws. It was all instinct, just as it was instinct for Mark to take a step forward and push his arm out as though to stop something. Quinn was used to instantly jumping to the offense, while Mark was used to going on the defensive, as in defending the person Quinn was going to go offensive on.
But Mark wasn't standing next to Quinn so his instincts were futile.
Quinn's eyes trained on a bush a couple feet away just as another snowball flew. She sidestepped it, keeping her eyes on the bush, before it had flown a foot. It hit Caim in the face and he slowly raised a hand to brush it out of his eyes, but before his hand reached his face he launched his own attack. Quinn couldn't help but feel sorry for the fellow whom the snowball hit, as she heard the impact come as a quiet thud. Caim laughed quietly and wiped the snow from his face. "Wanted to nail her first?" he called. Kurt stuck his head above the bush, grinning wickedly. Then he bamped away.
Quinn sighed and stuck her hands back in her pockets. Caim walked over and gently brushed the snow out of her hair. "You ok?" he asked. Quinn pushed his hand away as gently as she could. "Fine," she said, her voice flat. She glanced over at Mark, who had his arms crossed but was now smiling. "This place is defiantly anything but boring," he pointed out. Quinn nodded and stared at her feet. "You're going to like it here," she replied. Mark laughed. "Hell yes!" he cried. She looked back up at him and gave him a small smile, conveying everything that she wasn't going to say into that simple gesture.
I'm glad.
I want you to stay here no matter what I may do.
I will torch this place and these people if they ever betray you.
Then she sighed and stretched her arms above her head, turning to Jake. "You said you were going to build two more L bunkers?" she clarified. He nodded. "Yeah totally. They'll offer maximum protection and we can hide people in them to wait until the attackers-"
"Kitchie," Caim said softly, gently cutting him off. Jake looked at him and blinked, then burst out laughing. "Thanks Caim, I knew I was getting off track but I just wanted to explain, and maybe we should start making them now? Was that why you were asking Quinn, so that you could start working on them? That's a great idea and I think it's just plain awesome that we get Mark and you on our team." He beamed and Quinn scratched the back of her head, laughing to herself. "Thanks," she replied quietly.
"Totally," Mark agreed. "I'm glad we're on your team too." Caim and Jake both smiled. "Then let's get started!" Jake cheered.
