She Took A Moment To Survey His Actions. Panic? It Looked Like Panic. Panic Didnt Really Help, Her Parents

She took a moment to survey his actions. Panic? It looked like panic. Panic didn’t really help, her parents used to say. How it could be paralyzing but also encouraging, however it seemed in this case to be a little paralyzing.

But nevertheless, she decided to push forward, hopping over some rubble. “So before all of this, my dad used to tell me all these stories about this legendary warrior and his name’s Hercules. And he was depicted as this big and huge guy.”

“And well since you’re big and huge, does that make you Hercules?” She finally asked.

"Depends what kind of game did you have in mind?"

The man is thin, with red eyes and messy ink-black hair..a dark smile is upon his face.  “Who wants to have some fun…?” 

“Oh ok--” She stopped mid-sentence with a sudden confused look. Gears? Thoughts ran across her head trying to figure out if it’s something she had heard of. But no, it wasn’t. The word ‘gears’ was such an unfamiliar and alien term to her now.

“What...are Gears?” She asked confused, as her head tilts with eyebrows raised up.

Gabe gives a hearty chuckle at that, the tension draining out of his shoulders in a suddenly calm release; he glanced at himself, for a moment, as if he didn’t know what he looked like, and shrugged his wide shoulders thoughtfully.

“No, I’m not Hercules, Shima, but I guess us Gears tend to look and act a lot like him. Being big and huge warriors, and all of that. I sure wish we had Hercules on our side, though. I think he’d probably be a big help in taking down these damn Locust.”

he glances at her, and smiles a little, hefting his rifle as they keep walking.

She nodded, with some worry. She didn’t think about what could happen if she found his remains if the worst came. Shima didn’t want to think about it. Her dad was tough and smart. She had hope though that overwhelmed the worrying feeling.

She slipped the photo back in her pocket. She had been in the city for a couple weeks at least minus the traversing through the woods. While she had been lucky, many others hadn’t. There could be more out there, along with the monsters without a chance.

“That sounds good. But on one condition: I go with you out there.”

Shima was aware of the monsters. But that wasn’t gonna stop her from finding her dad. On top of that, her aiming was top notch thanks to her dad teaching her. And from all the practicing. And the times she was bored.
