Eliana.
She wordlessly followed Acheron to the tree, shoulders slumped forward. They longer they searched for their dad, the more Eliana was convinced that it was forever going to be a fruitless endeavor. And what then? Could they find someplace to settle out in the wasteland? As she thought, her twin’s words went mostly ignored. It was only his question that returned her to the present.
“Hm? Oh – yeah, I think so,” she responded, sliding her backpack off of her slim shoulders. She allowed it to hit the ground with a thunk near the base of the tree, nudging it a bit closer to him with her foot. “Should we rest here? It seems pretty open. What if there are raiders?”
He gives a slight non committal grunt as he reaches out, pulling the bag toward him and rifling through it. He pauses only to turn on the light of his PipBoy to get a better look inside. He begins to pull out different parts that he’s estimating he might need. It could be any number of things wrong with it, but his guesses were usually right. He turns the light off and turns to his gun, rifling through his own bag for a few tools that will help him make the repairs.
❛ While I acknowledge your concerns, I have doubts we’ll run into any for a few moments. I just need to get this fixed and then we can find somewhere else if you’re uncomfortable here. I’d rather not be caught with this thing busting in the middle of a firefight. It costs time to grab another weapon, and time is important in fights. ❜ As he speaks he’s already taking apart the gun and examining parts, setting two pieces aside that he deems busted.
❛ I have faith in your spotting abilities either way. Beyond that, most Raiders hang about their encampments if our travels so far taught me anything. I don’t see anything near enough to worry me right now. ❜
