Merrick nodded grimly, and set off, hooking his thumbs on his rucksack straps. It had been a while since he'd been on a potentially dangerous adventure, not since his years with Jonny and the rest. Just this one little quest, he thought, and I can go back to the library. He just hoped it would be as simple as it sounded.

After a long while walking along the bank, Lexi turned inland. She paused for a moment to take off her bow, deciding to carry it for a while. HQ had forced her to swap her usual mechanical bow and arrows for a beautifully crafted wooden set. The bow was lighter, but felt weird. Her long knives had been replaced as well. She now carried two 'Hobbit-sized' proper swords, hilt and all, at her waist, both in leather scabbards. The new swords were also heavier than Lexi was used to, and they annoyed her. She'd protested, of course, but as per usual it made no difference, and she had surrendered her own for HQ's substitutes. "You alright back there?" she called to Merrick.

"Yea" He grunted, trying to to keep up. Lexi seemed to find this so easy, skipping over the rocks and plants that littered their path. Whereas he seemed to trip over every little obstacle. He swore under his breath for what seemed like the hundredth time. "Can we take a break?" He called out.

Lexi stayed where she was. "Oh, yeah sure." She wondered again what had possessed her to actually request this particular librarian. "You sure you're ok?"

He could feel her disappointment. "Yeah, I'm fine." He took a flask out of his bag and drank deeply. He really needed to sit down, but could tell Lexi wanted to press on. "Fine. Let's go."

"No, no, it's alright" Lexi smiled and rook a seat on a nearby log.

Merrick could feel himself blushing. "Don't patronise me" He growled. "Let's just keep going. The sooner we finish here, the sooner I can get home." He stopped- he'd never referred to the QA as home before. He'd never really referred to anywhere as home. But, no it was his home, and he suddenly missed it a heck of a lot. He kicked a rock in frustration, but misjudged it and caught his toe. "f**k!" He swore, loudly. This wasn't fair. He hadn't asked for this. He just wanted a quiet life, away from any adventure, but it seemed adventure always caught up with him.

Lexi raised an eyebrow and stood up. 'Are all humans like this?' she wondered, but said nothing.

"Come on." He sighed. "Let's move."
They walked on in uncomfortable silence for a while, Merrick trying to block out thoughts of home, and books, and tea. It wasn't working. He needed to take his mind off it. "Right" He said. "Let's play a game"

Lexi raised an eyebrow, interested. "Alright, what do you suggest?"
