Hmmph. It's just as fun without him as with him. It's not in any way dull. I just can't have him dying. Oh well, he thinks it's boring... "It's not really my job to entertain you. You want entertainment, count the corpses we pass. It's mindless and will keep you entertained for hours. I just don't want you dying. I don't get my payment for you if you're dead." Did I really just tell him that? Now he'll know I can't kill him! Let's hope he didn't notice. "What exactly have you been eating, anyway?"

"Food I lynched off whatever dead bastard I've come across. Meagre, but it works," Will snorted. He then spat to the side. "And if I'm just your paycheck, why do you bother coming back here to talk? I can handle myself."

"Paycheck? I don't get paid in money. Money's useless with my job." She sighed. "If you don't want me to talk to you, I won't." She sped up and ran ahead. "I just wanted to make sure you weren't dying back here, like I said. I'm not going to lie to you unless I'm told to. And no one's telling me to out here." She continued running faster to get her mind away from thinking thoughts that would make her kill him.

Will snorted, keeping up with her as he made himself go a bit faster. "Well, if I'm only here to make sure you can survive, I suppose it's pointless to really talk, isn't it? What point is there to have a conversation if you're only keeping me alive so you can get your reward."

Miira ran a little faster, but the blanket was starting to tire her out. The sun was starting to rise, anyway, so she threw the blanket off as she ran even faster. "The point is exactly what you said: To keep you alive so I can get my reward. The point for you is so I can keep you alive." Her pace quickened significantly after the blanket was released.

Will took off his blanket as she did, tossing it aside to keep going at near her pace. "Do you think I need your protection?" He whipped out his desert eagle, pointing it towards her for a moment before flipping it back and holstering it again. He shook his head, not continuing to talk

Xiao heard the sound of the gun. "Yes. That's not going to protect you, trust me." She didn't look back as she spoke. "And without me, you would have gotten shot back there. Why do you think they hired someone to get you? There were three snipers on the rooftops, still preparing to shoot you. They don't know who I am and they weren't expecting me. They don't know where we're going unless they were already prepared to shoot me." She taps her armband. "But if they were going to, they'd have missed. The closest to a kill was a grazing under this band." She continues to run. "So yes, you need my protection."

Will snorted, not replying as he simply stayed content to follow her. He didn't care what she had to say. He was convinced he could have protected himself. The snipers wouldn't have hit him if they had fired at him. He could move quickly enough to avoid them and return fire.

Xiao continued to run with him behind her in silence. She didn't want to talk to him any more than he wanted to talk to her. She was content with that. By sundown, the Kingdom was visible in the distance; a massive, somewhat rusty structure made from almost everything that was around before The End. She ran ahead even faster than before, still below her full speed, and stopped almost instantly in front of the front gate to salute and address the guards.
"Xiao. Returning from an escort mission for The Light." She held her left arm parallel to the ground at chest level. One of the guards talked into a handheld transceiver and saluted back. Xiao waited for Will to catch up. "We'll be going straight to the main building. Follow me. You can stay on the ground if you want, but it'll be hard to keep up. But I don't know how well-trained you are; you might be safer on the ground. The snipers here know me. They won't bother you if you can keep up." She jumped and climbed up a nearby building and jumped and climbed her way past several others before turning around. "If you're up here without me, they might shoot you, though."

Will snorted. "Let them try. I'm not as defenceless as you make me out to be," he replied, climbing up to follow her. More or less, just to prove to her that he could keep up. He didn't necessarily care about any of this. But she was only going with this because it would give her her pay. So, being stubborn, he decided to take the same route she did, content with keeping up with her like this.
