Teresa warks.
More accurately, she makes a funny, strangled sound, then coughs sharply. "We're what? We're going to what?"
Lian rubs her temples. "Saving the world."
"Oh hell no, not again." Teresa smacks her hands down on the table, the dishes rattling slightly. "I want to go HOME, and resume my freelance operations in the Apache Mountain Reserve- Goddammit." Her face twists slightly as she closes her eyes, anger taking over her normally devil-may-care disposition.
Gabe exchanges glances with Lian. "Did you talk with her about this?" he mouths. She shakes her head by way of a response, and puts an arm around the younger woman's shoulders.
Teresa brushes the arm away, though not unkindly. "Sorry, everyone... I just miss..." The sentence hangs in midair, but it isn't neccesary to finish it.
"It's just one more mission... can't possibly be too hard- right? Besides, Teresa... Gabe and I, we'll watch out for you." Lian slumps slightly, of course willing to save the world, but tired, and lonely... if only Gabriel Logan would wake the hell up and drop his goddamn facade!
Gabe just smirks. The whole idea of being in another world is absurd to begin with, and now he's being called on to save THIS world too? Of course he'll watch out for Teresa (who really doesn't need it; she's actually saved HIS ass), but "one more mission" is almost one more mission too many.
