"Right, of-of course," Jane answered she was sure she also sounded terribly lame. She looked ahead at the building that in turn seemed to be rushing towards them and standing at some unreachable distance. She glanced up at Vrelt again and smiled nervously and then glanced around again seeing the chapel building that she had seen coming in. She wondered again if the villagers would agree to a 're-newing of vows' so she and Vrelt could have some type of ceremony before . . . And then they were at the door of the barracks. "Oh, here we are. Umm, which room were we supposed to be in?"

"I have the key, and yet I have no idea where the room is, Sev probably knows. Wasn't he supposed to be in the kitchen? Maybe we can get it from him." He opened the door and entered slowly, there was a guard on duty at the door and he nodded to him as he closed the heavy door behind them.Vrelt guessed that the kitchen further down the hall, judging by the smell of bread wafting through the air within the first few feet into the barracks. He glanced around the main entryway, it was fortified well and had plates of iron in front of the windows from attack. The ferret wondered if the rest of the barracks were this secure. It seemed to be strong enough to withstand heavy fire, and Vrelt was unsure why it was constructed this well, it appeared overprotective to him. He quickly changed his mind, however, there was no such thing as being overprotective in the zone.

Sev glanced up as he heard the heavy door open and close. "Hey, is that you guys? I've been waiting for a while. Are we going to make this pizza or what?"

The smell of the bread had reminded Jane how hungry she was and the baby kicked as if to remind her that she was still eating for two. She sighed with relief when she heard Sev's voice not only because she knew a meal was coming but also because she knew that with this interruption she and Vrelt were delaying the inevitable visit to their sleeping quarters for a little longer. She almost laughed as she called to the hare, "Pizza sounds great."

"Well hurry up before I fall asleep! I've been waiting for absolute bally ages for you two!" he called back, relieved to finally hear a familiar voice in all these Russians.

Anna looked at his paw, feeling the warmth again of the contact. She rearranged her own paw slightly so that she could lace her claws with his and then she looked up into his eyes again and nodded. She stayed silently like that for a moment and then asked, "I-is there anything I can do or get ready to help? I mean I . . ." she sighed and smiled again. "I know it's not going to be an easy task, getting out and well I, I don't want you to have to do it on your own." The weasel thought for a moment, looking down at their paws and then returning his gaze to Anna. "Well, uhm, I'm sure there's gonna be a lot to do... We'll have to shop about for a new tire for the truck, maybe some gas... And then there's the money needed to get those... And even before we leave we have to figure out what's going on out there with the military." He sighed and blinked a little at that, knowing that the hardest part would be the last one he spoke of. But, these were worries best left for tomorrow. He was here to relax with Anna, and have lunch. He conveyed this message through the way he looked back at her, squeezing her paw just a little.

Vrelt smiled broadly, "Yeah, I'm starving, Sev." He thought it would be good to get some American food, after all that Russian soup and the military rations they served. It seemed like years since he had eaten a good old pizza, well it had been a while since he was in New York. Hopefully they would get there soon, he would love for them to return to the Big Apple.

"No need to worry about that now I suppose," Anna smiled and used her free paw to spoon another bite of soup to her mouth. The temperature and even the taste of the food didn't seem to matter as she sat there looking into Bane's eyes. After she swallowed she attempted to start up a conversation: something that wouldn't remind them too much of what they would be trying to attempt tomorrow or whenever it was. "So should we talk about something else? Maybe books or . . . or music?"
Jayne took a seat at the large scrubbed wood kitchen table. It felt good to sit down. She hadn't realized how long she had been on her feet but her swollen ankles were starting to tell the tail. Still she was more than willing to help with the food preparation. "Is there anything you need us to do, Sev?"

Vrelt set his pack down on the table and slumped down in one of the chairs, "Well, I don't know about you two, but I'm dead on my paws. I could do with a good pizza. Which reminds me, I have a couple Dr. Peppers left in my pack," He opened the backpack and pulled out the remaining three Dr. Peppers, passing one to Jane and sliding one in Sev's direction. Then he opened the can and it spewed out everywhere, apparently the soda had gone through as rough traveling as Vrelt did. The ferret bit back a curse and set the can down after taking a long sip from it. "Never fails, I guess Dr. Pepper doesn't like me."

Jane laughed, picked up a napkin off the table, and began to wipe off Vrelt's shirt. "Well the Dr. may not but the nurse sure does." She looked up from the spill into his eyes and was lost there for a few moments. Then she blinked and looked back down to what she was doing. "There, that's a little better." She pulled back away from him and picked up her own can of soda. She tapped the top with her claw trying to work down the fizz before she opened it and avoided looking back at Vrelt again.
((a Dr Pepper sounds really good right now))

((I'll bet it does. LOL)
Vrelt smiled at Jane's joke, "Guess I'm lucky then," The ferret broke off from speaking when Jane looked gazes with him, and for a few moments he felt like he was drowning in her forest green eyes. When she finally looked away Vrelt cleared his throat, feeling slightly embarrassed at acting like that in front of Sev. He lifted the Dr. Pepper and took another long sip before returning it to the table, feeling a bit better to have some of his favorite drink, despite still hoping Sev didn't catch them staring at each other. Wait, what was he saying? He didn't care whether Sev saw them or not, he didn't care what anybeast thought of him, Jane might feel differently, though.

"Mhm." Bane replied, slowly eating another spoonful of his own soup before speaking, his brown eyes lighting up with the chance to tell the weaselmaid more about himself and of course more importantly listen to her talk more as well. "Well, uh, they don't have much in the way of reading out here, unless you want to go to the children's library and take some Ukrainian picture books." Here he smirked. "I read a lot of travel books though, when I can. But I mainly just listen to my MP3 player on the road... 'M surprised it still works."

Wow. What the hell have I started? wondered Sev to himself before shaking himself back into the present and snagged the Dr. Pepper off the table and cracked it open, taking a long swig. Setting it down with a sigh, he turned to the others. "Well, it was your idea about the pizza anyway. I just got everything ready. Have at it." he said with a slight smile, glancing almost imperceptively at the ring sitting on the table.

Anna smiled at his mention of the children's library, "I actually had a Ukrainian picture book when I was growing up. Well, it wasn't really in Ukrainian but it was based on an old folk tale: Fool of the World and the Flying Ship." She went on to tell him the story of the Fool who wanted marry the tzarina and how he goes on a journey and meets all these extraordinary friends who each have a special gift. Then when they get to the palace, the tzar makes up tasks for the fool to perform and he's only able to complete them with the help of his friends. "You see," she went on as if she had reached the moral of the story. "He was too foolish to believe that the thing was impossible." While she had been speaking, she was absently playing with his paw and as she finished she laced her claws with his again and looked up into his eyes. "Sounds a bit like us doesn't it? Ready to go out and tackle the impossible just because we're too foolish to believe it can't be done?" (( www.amazon.com/Fool-World-Flying-Ship/dp/0399219722 the pictures are by Christopher Denise who illustrated the Redwall picture books.)) Jane opened her own soda can and took a sip to give herself a moment to think and she came to the same conclusion that Vrelt had. She didn't care who knew that she was in love with Vrelt Darkfang. She put down her can and stood, smiling. The ache in her swollen footpaws didn't seem quite so bad in the light of her revelation. She placed a paw on Vrelt's shoulder and bent down to kiss his cheek. "Well, what do you want on your pizza? I'm going to pile that sausage on my share." She grinned and rubbed her stomach looking over the ingredients as she got ready to cook. "Little Sev wants some protein." Expertly as one who had earned her way through medical school working in a pizza parlor, Jane began to assemble the pie. "Oh did we forget to tell you, Sev? Since all of this is mostly your fault we've decided to name the baby after you." She hadn't noticed the ring and kept working happily.

"My fault? I fail to see what you are saying." said Sev with the tiniest of grins on his face. "I just made some observations and pointed them out, that's all." he said, moving some equipment out of Jane's line of sight to make the ring more visible. "They would have realized it themselves. eventually."
