As soon as she'd let the words out of her mouth, War regretted it - she didn't want to give Adam a chance to change his mind. Despite this, War sighed inwardly with relief, and all the tension drained out of her body. It was against her nature, but she had been terrified of losing this place - and these people. What was it - "Do not talk to me of cities: for what is a city without its people?"... Plato's Republic. She'd never minded leaving anywhere before, because there'd never been people there who mattered.
If they mattered, she shouldn't fight them. "I've been too... trigger-happy, I guess you'd say, recently, I know. And I know that here we have to stick together, and protect each other. I'll watch myself and my temper - but I'll watch our backs, too."
