☁ Evan's smile was quick to fade as Nova began to ask about his family though didn't want her to be embarrassed which she seemed to be instantly. He folded his hands over in his lap, shaking his head at her uneasiness, "No, don't be sorry about it." His voice was sympathetic as he cleared his throat. He never seemed nervous in these situations despite what he may have been feeling on the inside, the training since childhood helping him to perfect his poker face and lock up anything he really felt.

"My parents were a really happy couple, they loved my brothers and I and my father was really passionate about his business," Evan was always reciting how to answer this question when it came around but formulating it was a struggle for him, "I had two older brothers and they were all involved with the family business as well. I got into it when I was about seven, running errands for my dad but I actually was hired for a position when I was maybe... fourteen." Evan tried to recall his childhood.
"We had amazing times together," Evan held back a smile at the memories, "No vacations really and my mom would of liked less work and more play but the trade really brought us all together." He nodded as he finished, returning Nova's gaze.
"What about you?" He spoke delicately, knowing Nova was much more reserved about matters like this.

► "Get out of the car-" was all that the older man could hoarsely shout before he was knocked to the ground by the force that suddenly struck him, taking all of the air out of him. He gasped and groaned as he hit the ground, trying to perch himself up on the arm that hadn't been hit. He glanced over his shoulder to see the arrow, trembling violently. He tried to move the injured arm, and could, but it was stiff and caused him a sharp pain, even through the fight-or-flight hormones' painkiller-esque effects.

xxxIt felt like his whole arm was on fire with the sudden impact of the arrow, but he felt numb, excited even; he was too exhausted to play off one of his usual twisted smiles, realising that he couldn't do much harm when he was in this state. He carefully hopped to his feet after picking the gun back up which had been thrown from him during the moment, turning to try and look back around towards where he figured the arrow had come from. He narrowed his eyes towards the door, and had the same feeling of time slowing down dramatically as he peered over to the opened entrance. It almost made him feel like a lost child, finding it hard to process the entire minute or so and how much had happened within it.

xxxGillian glanced up to Emma, the words she was spitting out unable to go into his head. He stared at her, his gaze cold as he looked to her eyes.
xxx"You don't know what you're talking about-" he breathed, his voice getting noticeably more exhausted as he spoke. He only relied on a single breath to speak, cutting himself off quickly to get his breath back once he finished.

♠ Troy ducked at the sudden shattering of glass, feeling Kingsly's body over hers' and comforted by the protectiveness, aware of who had begun the shooting. She could see Gillian out of the rear view mirror, anger pulsing through her though the satisfying whirr of a crossbow bolt piercing the air alerted her of her brother's presence. She heard a startled sound come from Gillian as he hit the ground, her face lighting up as she noticed a smug grin slide over her brother's face. She watched Kingly's hand move towards the door handle but she sat back in her seat, starting the car instantly.
"Sit back." She warned, reversing the car inches away from Gillian who was behind them.

She jerked suddenly as she pushed the car into drive, managing to swivel around the man in their path, not interested in killing him just yet though it would have made their lives easier. She pressed the gas with a steady foot, the car kicking down the road as she watched River, Emma, and Gillian in the rear view mirror, her heart pounding. She'd never wanted to pull all of these people into her mess. Her brother first, now Emma she supposed and of course the boy seated beside her about to be another victim of Gillian's wrath.

xxxxxxx Emma kept a close eye on Gillian as he went for his gun, slightly worried that she should have thought her actions out a little better, had she not already been holding her sais she could have easily thrown a shuriken or two, but it would be too obvious if she went for them now, and she hadn't really mastered the ranged aspect of her sais. "oh really, it seems your the one who seems to be lacking intelligence on the situation. You know, the one where the world is filled with these things that want to eat us, the ones attracted by noises such as that of a gun." Her plan was simply to distract him with her words, as she began to inch herself closer, not wanting to make any sudden movements and get herself or river shot, but she still needed to be close enough to make use of her 'claws'.

♦ River's face creased in a wide grin as the satisfying sound of Gillian's body against the floor rang in his ears. He watched the man fall with cold eyes, dazzling with excitement. Troy's car was whizzing down the road in moments, River overjoyed to see her sister make it away from a fight finally. He looked to Emma who was standing protectively in front of him and he was thankful for the guard, provided he didn't really need it.

River pulled another bolt from his belt, sliding it into the barrel of his crossbow in case Gillian tried to make another move. The man struggled to talk but the only medic in camp was on his kill list. He hoped Emma was on his side specifically in this, not wanting the girl to turn on him. He pressed himself closer to her but was able to peer over her shoulder in the first place, standing tall as he watched Gillian struggle on the ground, feet away. He listened to Emma as she began to inch for Gillian's gun. Not the wisest plan but he saw her as capable enough to handle herself.

► Gillian glanced at the car, too tired to care. The man bit his lip as he glared at Emma, moving a couple of steps away. He snickered at her comment, holding the gun up quickly.
xxx"Stay away from me." he said threateningly, staring her down. He glanced about her, noticing the weapons she had and inching away again. He moved away and tried to get around them and to the doors of the warehouse, his gun held out at the two in defence.

xxx"Move." Gillian muttered, the gun wavering in his hand as he pointed it towards River, trying to keep his injured arm facing away from the two people. He edged around them, trying to find the momentary opportunity to dash inside.

Nova wasn't a foolish girl, upon asking about Evan's family his smile faltered, although to reassure her he shook his head side to side. A sign that even though she asked something personal it was okay, as long as she didn't pry into the subject any more. Crossing her heads she nodded back to him, a small gestured that showed she understood him when he said she didn't need apologize. Crossing her leg over the other she waited for him to begin, his calm eyes looking over hers as he cleared his throat.

Silently she listened to him go on about his family who he had been separated from. Silent nods were given to him to show she was still listening, something he had done generously for her. She was surprised to hear that he began to embrace his family business at seven, Nova hadn't even thought about getting a job until Kingsly was rubbing his well earned money in her face, and that was at sixteen. As Evan got lost in his memories she smiled, greatful to know that he didn't really hang onto the darkness around them. That instead of being consumed by his grief, he was able to look back and remember the happy times. Although Nova had to admit to herself, no vacations did suck, at least to her.

As expected he bounced the question back to her. Silently she debated about telling him or not, in the end she decided to speak up. If he could do it and this is his first time meeting her, than surely Nova could to. Swallowing the lump in her throat she began to speak. "Well," she said dryly, her voice coming out quiet and a bit broken as her voice cracked. Clearing it slightly she spoke more clearer. "Well, growing up it was just me, my mother and of course my twin Kingsly." she said finally confessing her brother's name. "Like I said earlier, as a child a moved throughout New England..um..that's really it. Our main location was East Boston and we were most of the time broke." a fond smile spread. "Even though my mom was having difficulty she let me and my brother do anything, as long as it wasn't anything bad of course. I really miss her." she added with a soft laugh.

"So uh..." she debated on the next question in her head. "Any hobbies?" she asked.

♦ River grimaced as Gillian began to stagger up, threatening the two with his gun. The stinging from River's black eye reminded him of the well deserved shot he'd taken at the man, a feeling of pride washing over him, "I've been waiting to do that." He snickered under his breath, his eyes never moving from Gillian though he position himself slightly behind Emma, his crossbow hovering over the girl's shoulder to get a proper angle towards the man.

"You speak so highly of your control but let a couple teenagers walk all over you," River sneered as he eyed Gillian, his lips curled back in a sinister smirk towards him, "The trust people put in you is crumbling." He finished with a wild gleam in his eyes, careful to contain the majority of his words.
"I told you she'd get away at some point." He snorted, referring to his sister who he'd never been prouder of for leaving. The whole incident had made him see another side of the girl he looked up to. Once fearful of being abandoned, River began to see himself strengthen and root for his sister to get out, wanting only what was best for as she'd been striving for this whole time.

xxxxxxx "stay away? Oh, you scared of a little girl?" she mocked, taking another step closer. She honestly doubted how well his aim would be, considering the bolt river had conveniently placed in his shoulder. She listened to river's words, sure that the two of them could make the older male lose his cool, which would make fighting easier as an angered fighter is often less rational...or was it the other way around....she couldn't remember, but hoped that angering him wasn't a bad decision. "The thing is gillian, I'm not too scared of you. Especially not when you're so injured. You know you attracted some of those things, and well, your certainly in no condition to fight them off, but I guess you are getting old, it's probably you're time soon anyways." she continued to mock, sidestepping to block the guns aim(though in reality she was so much shorter than river that it probably did no good), if she was hit it wouldn't be a big deal since river could simply place another bolt in him, but if he was hit well, they'd both be kinda screwed.

☁ Evan noticed Nova's discomfort speaking about her family. It was clear to see the past was painful for her but he didn't acknowledge this, hoping to make her more comfortable talking about herself. He liked the sound of her family and the closeness it was obvious she and her brother shared, a pleasant gleam in his eyes as he listened to her nostalgic voice. Evan moved closer to her on the couch as she added the laugh to the end of her sentence about missing her mother and he could see the ache of her memories subside into a more wistful feeling.

Evan fiddled with his fingers, looking to the ceiling for a moment and biting the inside of his cheeks as he began to think of hobbies. He ultimately shook his head, "Business was really everything, you know?" He started, "I guess my hobbies were intertwined with it. It was more a lifestyle rather than just a business- so many family members involved, I made a good amount of friends through it. The majority of my life was just spent dealing with it all I didn't have time for much else." He shrugged, thinking back to his days working and feeling a twinge of longing.

Evan contemplated the next question in his mind, debating whether he should mention something about her past but he ultimately decided on a much more childish question. He adjusted his seat, "Okay now don't think I'm being immature," Evan started with a soft chuckle as he looked to his hands before posing the question, "What was your first kiss like?" He bit his lip as he asked, hoping it was too invasive and aiming more to tease around with her.
