| Nick looks at Marcus and nods. Than back to Jacob - "Right, because they fear us or something? Just what do they say about us?" |

| "...That you're going to kill them."
The Colonel and the white mage exchange a surprised look with the other squad members. |

| Smirk chuckles - "Well, we are. Now that they've narrowed it down to who's got the bigger sword and left us no choice in the matter - talk about self-fulfilling prophecy. Anyway, last question: That little ball of fire by the beach when we left, that someone special? Do they even have people who stand out, or is everyone the same?" |

| After hearing this revelation Sam blinks when she recovers, rolling her eyes and opening them again, and frowns. |

| May can't help but agree with Nick. If they didn't want to fight then they shouldn't be out looking for one. She drinks some wine while she waits for Jacob to answer Nick's final question. |

| Jacob narrows his eyes and slowly clenches his fists. Samantha can even feel him tremble with rage despite how small he is.
"...We've heard the Enemy refer themselves only as ‘We’... except for that Fire one. They call it the ‘Mimic’. We don't know much about it, except that it was cut off from the other Enemies' thoughts."
"...Why would they do that?" Anne asks with wide eyes.
"So it could learn to think like a human." |

| Nick ponders in silence, but asks one final question - "Does it... give orders?" |

| Jacob shakes his head. "Not yet, I think... It's still learning."
He says that word as if he was spitting venom. |

| Sam curls her hand around the little guy for emotional support. |

| Jacob relaxes a little at Sam's touch. All of the anger seems to vanish from his body, and he looks up to the young woman with tears welling in his eyes. He seems grateful. |

| Nick narrows his eyes, then softens and lets up - "Thanks, Jacob. Sorry for putting you through this." |

| Sam replies gently to the fairy, "Well, so are we. If they aren't willing to give us a chance, then they can't expect to be met with anything less than equal in measure. Right?" |

| The sight of a distressed fairy isn't something May was prepared for. She holds out her wine sking to Jacob and says, "Jacob vant drink? May think drink help Jacob cheer up. Is plum vine from Medial." |

| The fairy wipes his tears away with his sleeve and nods at Nick. He appears to find Sam's embrace comfortable, and says to her, "Right. Don't worry. You can count on me."
He then examines May's wineskin with interest. "I'd like too, but I don't have a glass of my size..."
"I'm sure Nick can weave you one," Anne says. "Right?" |

| "Give the man a minute, he's not very good at this."
Nick gives Smirk an annoyed look, but raises his hand as Magic begins to swirl into a spot between his index and thumb. Takes him about a minute for it to fully coalesce into a wooden tankard, Fairy-sized. |

| While Nick makes a cup for Jacob, Sam takes this moment to make her announcement. "I think that's all, Colonel. By the way, I was thinking about joining the crew for a little gambling later. You're all welcome to join me, if that is all right?" |

| Jacob is astonished by the process of weaving a tankard, which puts a smile on Anne's face. Even Marcus seems glad that this managed to cheer up the fairy a little.
"I'll join you," Marcus says. "Someone has to make sure this doesn't end like last time."
He stares at May, causing Jacob and Anne to chuckle at the monk. |

| "Sounds like fun," Anne says. "I'll join. You're coming too, right Jacob?"
The fairy nods with some enthusiasm. By now, Nick has finished weaving the tankard, and Jacob is very pleased by it. |

| A pebble floats out of Nick's hand and starts dancing in the air, leaving a trail forming the words - "Cards, sure." |

| Sam giggles. "I was hoping you would say that, sir."
When Smirk speaks up for Nick, she looks over at him to see what's up, but between that statement about his state of mind, Anne's word in the affirmative to join, then Nick saying he will too, her gears start turning.
"Great, so we're all in then, perfect!" |

| Marcus raises his hand.
"Before we go however..." he says, "I have something to give you."
He searches the satchel and pulls out four small objects; orbs. |

| Nick and Smirk lean in to look - "Wow, so this is what i've got in his head? I mean, i remember a bit, but... " - Smirk then looks at Jacob - "So, you kinda grab one, get a flying start and ram them into each of their heads? Can i watch? Because that sounds hilarious." |

| "I wouldn't mind doing it," Jacob says, amused by Smirk's wisecracking . "But you can do it yourself. Like this."
He motions grabbing an orb and inserting it through his forehead. |
