Tabitha Smith has posed:
James comes to look for Tabby but has a bit of trouble tracking her at first because it's like her scent is crisscrossing over itself. Eventually he finds her out in the woods scattering little time bombs ahead of head through the trees as if she's expecting something to be there that she cannot see. When she hears him coming up behind her she turns and scatters a handful vaguely in the direction she heard the sound from. They aren't big enough to really hurt for long if one hits but he can probably dodge them since she's not got a good idea of where to aim.
James Proudstar has posed:
James knows Tabby well enough that he doesn't want to set her off by moving faster in what might be perceived as an incoming attack, so, he takes the hit, swatting away the plasmoids closest to him. He coughs and shakes his head, "Friendly, Tab it's me, you okay? You weren't at the debrief."
Tabitha Smith has posed:
Tabitha Smith flicks the handful little yellow spheres she already generated again behind her almost casually when she realize it's Jimmy in front of her. "Sure Jimmy. I'm good. You know me." Well that's a lie if there ever was one. She looks tired. Generating even the little ones for more than an hour straight has got to take it out of a person.
James Proudstar has posed:
James Proudstar smiles and looks at Tabby, he's quiet for a few moments, "No, you're not. But that's okay. It's okay to not be alright Tabitha. Fuck, I'm not anywhere near alright and I'm not going to be for a good long time." Jim smiles, "But, we have to take care of each other." Jim slips an arm around you, letting you lean on him. "How much more you have to check?"
Tabitha Smith has posed:
Tabitha Smith allows herself the lean against him. She doesn't acknowledge his premise or even his question at first but finally she says, "Just this section between here and the lake. Shouldn't take much longer. If you'da given me another half hour I'da been back."
James Proudstar has posed:
James Proudstar picks her up and nods, "Okay, I'll help we'll get it done together." He walks the area carrying Tabby carefully, slowly checking every inch with sight and sound and smell. Jim moves slowly, cautiously.
Tabitha Smith has posed:
Tabitha Smith begins tossing off handfuls of little bombs ahead of them again as Jim carries her through the area she was searching. Finally though she says, "I've been here before." She leans against him tiredly, silently declaring the job done.
