There's nothing sinister whatsoever about Oak Street, as Christos steers the rented van onto the street and parks against a curb. Well watered and neatly trimmed lawns frame cheerful suburban houses, a paper boy rides past on a bike, a couple strolls by hand in hand eating dripping ice cream cones. Down the block, children are visible hooting and whooping as they swing from monkey bars on a small playground while mothers wait on benches and chat politely, happy to soak up the sun and get off their feet for a moment.

Christos frowns heavily through the window, as if the sight of all this contentedness is more unwelcome than an army of invading monsters would have been.

Solace speaks up first, from his place in the front passenger seat. "It may be prudent to split our group to cover more ground. At least one of the homes should be re-examined, and we ought to ask some of the locals for their take on the situation." He unbuckles his belt. "I mean to investigate the area for evil auras."

Christos nods, turning off the engine. "The sun will be down in an hour. I'll scout around the houses for access points. No point in breaking in before then."

[Miles just nods, lets him make the call, as he turns to Jaina, looking down toward her wound.]

How is it? Is it bad?

[Just...making sure. Because what else is he supposed to do right this second?]

[flyingsolo]

You're the one who took a real beating. Shouldn't I be mothering you?

[Hey, they both got bit.]

They're not even deep, promise. But if you insist...

[Smirk, smirk.]

[sirsolace]

They're on their way. [ he snaps the phone shut. ] Now line up, both of you, and I'll heal you. We're going back in there.

[cuivre]

[Miles hopes this guy is packing some serious firepower if they're going back in there.

He glances at Jaina again as he moves to stand beside her, doing as he's told.]
