Rose grabbed AFRs sleeve and yanked him down to sit with her. After doing so, she leaned on him in thought. "We can run perimeter checks tonight. I don't need to sleep and you seem pretty amped up to do it. But no attacks. If he shows while everyone is sleeping, we run. Understand?"

AFR nodded. "Alright... we run... in the meantime... we watch... we watch their backs and our own... I feel alive again... I miss the fray. Tonight I will wait, but tomorrow is another day... our day." His arm sort of wrapped around her without his knowledge. "So... what are you thinking, Rose? How far to check?"

Rose blinked and looked up at Hawk like oO What? "Um. Okay. Bye Hawk." She frowned a little then looked back to AFR. "No more than a mile out."

AFR said simple "Night hawk... sleep tight" He was sure they were safe. "Alright, one mile is good... nice buffer..." AFR moved his hand from her shoulder to her hand... "Shall we?" Wow... AFR with motivation is weird... but you can't knock it. If anything it was a gateway to more conversation.

Rose smiled and grabbed his hand, standing. "We shall." She flipped her bangs out of her eyes.

They started the initial scan, AFR took it seriously, but he also did not mind at all the time with Rose. "So did anything else happen that I should know of in my leave of absence?" AFR felt always off being the odd man out of everything... "So... how are you, Rose... I heard you left also for the week."

Rose thought for a moment and then shook her head. "Not that I can think of. I just got back as well. Yesterday, actually. Nick brought me back." Rose tossed her bangs out of her eyes. "I've actually been gone for a month or so. I hate the holidays." She kinda smiled "Bah humbug"

AFR laughed... "and here I thought no one could possibly match my enthusiasm for the season. Years of unappreciation by my family and forced religion have refined absolutely no love for this... happy holiday thing. Even though... I still... managed to get everyone something..." He continued. "I don't know... but it is good to see everyone again... even in these circumstances." They continued about the buffer zone until the sun began to peek about the morning sky.

Rose just groaned. "I can't do holidays. No idea why. But it just doesn't work that way. Not even my own birthday." She just couldn't. Maybe it was just still locked in her mind that holidays were unnecessary. That she wasn't allowed to celebrate them. Hrm. "I missed everyone."

AFR tried to understand. "...you don't do birthdays... that's not cool... it's your day, you deserve something for it. I mean, you help along everyone else's Rose... fair is fair. It doesn't have to be anything spectacular... but I am all for celebrating your presence here... maybe another bar rush is in order, but this time on your behalf ^^"

Rose just shook her head. "I feel weird celebrating it. I think we did it once when I was little. And that was it. I've done Christmas maybe two or tree times." Rose always left the Shadow Clan for a week or so around Christmas. "Any other holidays just...I dunno. Aren't all that big. So I just stay in my room." Like Halloween. You'd think Rose would adore Halloween. But she didn't. To her knowledge, no one had yet to notice she got food poisoning every Halloween. "I just don't do holidays."

AFR smiled "Hey, to everyone their own, Rose. No one will force your hand in celebrating a holiday that has little cultural significance to you... but that leads to another thought... do you have anything like Christmas in Amamizu?" AFR hated Catholicism and about anything was better in their way in his mind then what he was force fed. "I would imagine there are a lot of quirky, home land, hijinks you could enlighten us with."

She shook her head again. "We have the same holidays. And they're just as important there. I've just never celebrated them. Not after the thing with my mom and then Vyolet. It was just never a big thing later on."

AFR felt them crossing bounds that Rose was not willing to tread to far in. "Bah... what are holidays, but capitalism in action anyways? Elaborate schemes to sell you expensive things and foods you never eat any other time of the year with the undertones of superstition. I mean... do Cadbury creme eggs even exist any other time then Easter?" He tried to make joke... <<...

Rose glanced up as they made their way back towards the base. PERIMETER CLEAR D: She actually laughed a little. "I don't believe so"
