After Roach had stared at Leon's back for a while she got bored and turned her attentions to Survana.
"What are you hoping to see or do in brick, if you don't mind sharing." Asked the chemist politely.
Roach pondered the question but a suitable idea never entered her head, she looked at her shoes and muffled, "dunno, I get bored, lonely, I probably won't stick around long once we reach there but I suppose it's best to walk you to safer land."
She looked up intently and scrutinised the woman for a second,
"'Scuse me but why do you smell so nice? Most people are really bad smellin' around here and you ain't, also you cover yourself up, don't you like tanning?"

"I wanna buy a shovel." Leon said, in regards to Survana's question. "You see, I was born in Buckettown yeah? When I came back, it was basically blown in half. Might as well start rebuilding, you know?" Leon said.

Reaching into his potato sack backpack, Leon grabbed his small bottle of water. Shaking it around a little, he sighed as he noticed how little water was left in it. Putting it back into his potato sack backpack, Leon looked around for a well or a spicket or something that he could get water from.

Seeing none, Leon sighed and turned around to his two traveling companions, walking backwards as he faced the two.

"Hey, uh. Neither of you two would happen to know where we could get some water, right? It's been a while since I've been around here." Leon asked.

Suvarna peered across the horizon, her free hand held over her brow, Leon's question was more immediately pertinent than Roach's. "No, I don't know where we might find water around here. If you can wait until we make camp, I can milk Indira."

She walked across the front of her brahmin as she had done once or twice since the trio started walking. It seemed as if she were taking turns leading closer to one head, then the other. "In response to your question Roach, a combination of vanity and scientific expertise are the reasons to my scent and my style of dress. Though, if I am unable to get my business established post haste, I may begin to smell like 'most people' soon."

Suvarna wrinkled her nose at the prospect of hygiene breakdown. Her family's caravan was well-to-do, and she never lacked for the time or materials to make soap and fragrances. She wanted to make it big on her own, to show herself and her now distant kinfolk that she could.

"Oh, well, I used to sit in pools sometimes and throw lots of lavender into the water but they say radiation is bad for you and, where better to find it than wallowing in ground water?" Roach scrunched up her face and smelt herself, "If you have anything to make me smell nice, I would bye some or owe you for it-" Roach stopped in mid sentence.

She sniffed at the air and squealed in delight,
"Ooh, raiders, they stink of blood, downwind...obviously, ack, East then, and not too far away, bow boy and his girlfriend, grab your weaponry and head behind that rock?"
Roach looked delighted, she hoped they weren't just hunters, she remembered hearing about a molerat meat trading route near Brick but raiders did work around the area.

"What?" Leon said, retrieving his bow off his back and cocking an arrow as he moved to the closest piece of cover. Which, in this case, would be a rusted out war. Pressing his back aginist it, Leon popped his head up to look at where the raiders should be.

Taking deep breaths, Leon scanned the area in front of him. He didn't see anybody. That would be generally considered a good thing, since if there were raiders ahead, then they would more the likely have no problem stabbing or shooting the three. Or, you know. Raping the women and some such.

Looking around again, Leon noticed the raiders Roach spoke about. Five men, armed with various spears and knifes. Ducking his head back below the car, Leon made a sharp whistling noise to grab Survanana's attention.

"When they come closer, light a Molotov and chuck it at them." Leon said, trying to whisper as low as possible so she could hear him and them not get discovered by the raiders.

Suvarna's ears and cheeks burned at Leon's suggestion. She had never actually killed anyone, but had been perfectly willing to lead two potentially unstable mercenaries to a homestead to have people killed. It was sheer luck that saw that those who were killed were themselves deserving of death. "I don't want to," she whispered "We don't know who these people are, let's just hide until they pass us by. They don't have any guns, if they come after us we can get them."

Roach smiled at the woman in a kind manner,
"Don't worry, look, you won't have to kill them, two have spears and probably knives, those two, they have spears, you can smell the blood, well, you can't, they've probably just killed and maybe eaten, making them slower and more reluctant to fight, that one, he's the leader, he has a pistol," Roach spoke in a harsh whisper.
She anticipated the characters ahead of her, darting to a nearby piece of cover she waited calmly for them to come within about eighty yards, they where talking calmly amongst each other, she would only have to kill one tops.

"Survana, have a molotov ready, Leon, please look for a suitable melee weapon, none of you are going to die, and hopefully, only one of them will have to, now please, be quiet."
She crouched behind a rocky outcrop and waited, her muscles tensed, her thighs tightened and she clutched her spear with white knuckles.
The man with the pistol walked by her and stopped, he could hear her breathing, almost purposefully heavy. He was about to peer over the boulder when roach jumped up with her powerful legs and flung herself into the man, sending him crashing to the ground, she pointed her spear into the man who was dumbstruck and then she impaled his arm into the dirt, the man gasped in pain but before he could continue Roach flicked out her knife tucked into her boot and pushed it up against his neck.

The men who had been charging at her stopped, their coordinator was down and bawling like an injured rad-lamb, Roach bore her sharp canine teeth and looked up at them, she motioned for her band to come out of hiding. She had done her part but she was no negotiator.
She acted a bluff, playing upon her sudden gain of authority,
"What do you think boss?" She turned to Leon, "Shall I cut him or do we let him go? Baring in mind that Brick wants a bounty on local raider leaders? The bounty hunters will pay us for him as well dead as alive." She winked and pleaded that Leon understood.

((OOC: Ok, I'm going to Wales tomorrow, please wait for me to return and don't leave Roach behind, much appreciated!!))

"What. The. Fuck." Leon said, coming out of his cover, his bow ready. Contrary to Roach's plan to ambush the leader, which would have supposedly made the other four raiders just up and run away, it instead made everybody; mainly Leon, slightly more confused.

Leon glanced over to the uncomfortable looking raider boss, and then over to the four other raiders. Contrary to what Roach probably expected, instead of looking panicked and flustered, they looked rather pissed off.

So, Leon raised his bow and let loose an arrow. The arrow flew straight, impacting on the first raiders chest. A wheeze later, the Raider dropped to the ground. Reaching for another arrow, Leon instead felt his ribs explode as a crude club made from an old plank of wood impacted on his side.

Falling onto his back, Leon brought his arms up to protect him from another blow from the club wielding raider. Feeling another sharp blow on his forearms, Leon lashed out wildly with his legs; pushing away the raider. Moving back up to his feet, Leon took his bow and smacked the raider in the head with it; stunning him for a brief moment.

Taking an arrow from his back quiver as the Raider re-orintined himself after getting smacked, Leon charged at him. Instead of Leon stabbing the raider like he hoped to do so, instead he was pushed away by the Raider. Ducking underneath the club aiming for his head; missing him by centimeters, Leon attempted to stab him again.

This time, it worked. Pushing the arrow into the raiders gut, Leon stepped away as the raider crumbled onto his knees. If the raider did not die soon, he would die before the day was up.

Diving for the raider bosses pistol, groaning in pain as he landed on his hurt forearms, Leon grabbed it and fired it into the air. The remaining two raiders, who were about to attack Survana, stopped and spun towards Leon.

Pulling back the hammer on the waster revolver, Leon pointed it at the two raiders; armed with only shanks and a pocket knife. Smiling to himself, Leon looked over to Survana and Roach with a grin on his face.

"Well now. I think the tides have turned, yeah?"

It was seemingly over in moments, before Suvarna could even make a peep. It took even less time than the whirlwind of violence at Sparse Shade, and that seemed to pass in the span of a few eye blinks. Suvarna looked around and corrected herself, it was almost over: there were two raiders left standing. If she had been standing in their shoes, she would have just run away at this point, she wanted to encourage this response in them. She pulled out her switchblade and popped the blade.

"Gentlemen the day is lost," she said imperiously, her posture powerful and domineering "drop your weapons and you can yet leave alive."

It was a partial bluff at least. Suvarna's skill with a knife would most certainly not be able to cash the check her mouth was writing. The circumstances were highly stacked in her favor though, and when she made eye contact with one of the thugs through the slit in her veil, she did not waver. He nodded at his friend and the two men ran off.

Roach beamed at Leon, an expert kill, I misjudged you... after the two men ran off, she looked down at the man still wriggling between her thighs,
"What to do, what to do?" She asked in a tantalising fashion.
She stood slowly, just pinning the raider with her knee then, in a swift movement, she kicked his pistol further away from him allowing the object to skid towards Leon and Survana. The man was losing blood but she expected that with clotting and maybe some stitches, he would live. It wasn't fair to let him die or to kill him any more so she turned to Survana and questioned her, "Up to you...should we let him go? I think he might need medical attention."

She stood and wrenched the spear from his arm, thankfully for him, it wasn't barbed. The raider looked confused and Roach helped him to his feet but extended pressure into his back from the point of her knife.

"Now, you." Leon said, pointing the raider bosses pistol at the raider. "Get outta here. Go on, get out of here."

For a moment, the raider boss looked confused. Nodding to Leon, the raider boss got up and hobbled away; casting quick glances to the small group of wastelanders that defeated his gang. Keeping an eye on him, Leon inhaled and exhaled through his nose slowly. As soon as the raider boss disappeared over a ruin, Leon turned over to Roach.

Pointing the pistol at Roach, Leon locked eyes with her for a moment. Pulling back on the hammer, Leon inhaled and exhaled rapidly as he kept eyes on her. Licking his bottom lip for a moment, Leon opened his mouth to speak.

"As you can tell, I am very angry with you at this moment. Why? Because we could have just been here, unseen from the raiders, and let them pass. Instead, you had to go act a badass and attack there fuckin' boss. So, I had to fuckin' kill two of them. I left that life behind me. Now that we cleared that all up...." Leon said, swinging the heavy wasteland pistol around and hitting Roach in the temple with the butt of the pistol."Lets go to Brick, shall we?" Leon said, still fuming as he walked towards Brick; carrying the pistol in his hand.

Suvarna could feel blood pounding in her temples, and she struggled to find her center. Things had gone from potentially lethal to potentially lethal and extremely awkward. One traveling companion was threatening another and frankly she had to agree with Leon, and not just because he had a gun. She said nothing, merely going back to Indira and taking up the reigns of the animal once more. She looked at neither of them directly, instead looking at the horizon ahead.

Roach's smile slowly receded as Leon turned and shouted at her, she wasn't too sure what she had done to make him so pissed and the speed at which he was ranting didn't help, she still wasn't truly fluent in English. But as she lowered her guard and was about to apologize when she felt the sharp crack of Leon's weapon explode into the side of her face. It wasn't a powerful blow but the contact with her temple sent her reeling. She fell and nursed her head, burying her face into the dirt, sobbing more out of embarrassment than distress.

She turned and ripped her neck round to meet Leon's eyes,
"Bad move whorseon!" And in one swift movement she turned and lunged, bowling into the man, she drew her spear and spat in his face, it was not in her interest to kill him but he would never hit her or any woman for that matter again.
She looked at Survana and for her sake and the sake of trivial fighting, withdrew,
"I know your type, you talk big but you hide behind pre-war weapons and ranged warfare, you stand head to head with me but if it came down to melee combat, I would send you running." She spat again but this time on the floor not at Leon directly.
"And what would your plan of action had been Leon? Cart yourself out for raiding, hide? That's not for me, that blood wasn't animal blood on their weapons."

Leon, being pushed to the ground. Resisted the urge to pop the stubborn tribal bitch in the face. Going on how it was better to fight then hide. According to Leon, it was a hell of a lot better to hide and not get hurt then have this entire situation happen.

Spinning on his back, Leon kicked Roach in the leg joint. Using his sudden time frame to stand up, Leon did so and trained his gun on Roach while backing up towards Survana.

"And I would have you know my mother is NOT a whore!" Leon shouted back. "A bit bossy, but not a whore. You, however, are a Bitch. A flat, bitchy. Bitch." Leon said, nearly spitting at her.
