“ what the hell would i do that for?”

“Money?” The response came almost immediately, although judging by his reaction she realized she might have misjudged Kennedy a little. Not wanting to potentially offend the guy she had hired to watch her back, she quickly added, “that’s usually what you mercenaries work for, isn’t it?” She straightened up from her squatted position and turned to face him.

“ do you really want to piss me off?”

Ava exhaled loudly and let her head fall slackly backward, visibly exasperated. "Sounds like I'm nearly there already," she countered and raised her head back into an upright position, flashing him a sarcastic smile.

"The thing you seem to... blatantly disregard right now, is the fact that I don't need anything from you. You came here because you needed something from me, and I can't fucking finish it if you keep breathing down my neck with this macho-mercenary bullshit," Ava continued, gesturing both to him and herself for emphasis as she spoke. "Now, please, sit your ass down and be quiet."

“I knew what I was getting into.”

"Don't mean you ain't ate up with dumbass for doin' it," Holly scoffed, and pointed across the settlement towards Jim and Louisa's cabin, "Jim'll patch you up. You best mind your manners over there or I'll come undo all his work."

“Sounds like a wacko to me.”

“He is,” Starling said simply, eyes lingering on the purple flag in the distance. Although she had been lucky enough not to deal with the man who’d caused Holly so much trouble, she had heard enough about him -- from Holly, and Matthew’s extensive recon -- to know he was likely completely off his rocker and not someone to underestimate.

She turned, ready to go back towards Bunker Hill rather than risk crossing paths with any of the purple clad bastards, “You’re welcome to go on down that way, but you’ll be going on your own.”

“ are you saying you can’t do it?”

“Won’t,” Starling said firmly. No doubt they thought it dramatic when she suddenly called out for all of them to stop. There’d been trudging through the brush on the heels of a bounty head for hours, and now they’d have to take a detour, “I’m sayin’ I won’t go no further. Not the same as can’t.”

She turned, and pointed with her lips towards the old overgrown sign that had stopped her. Well weathered, partially covered in vines and moss, most of the words on it were faded or illegible except for two: Wampanoag and Burial.

“We ain’t trackin’ a bounty through someone’s burial grounds,” she frowned and shook her head, “We go around ‘n try and pick up the trail someplace else.”

(Kennedy) “I don’t work for you.”

“Nobody said you did,” Grant snapped. It had been a simple request, that was apparently taken as an order. To be fair, he had failed to say Please and Thank you, but that hardly warranted such a response, “I swear to Christ, you’re a pricklier piece of shit than me. And that’s sayin’ something.”

“I’m like a bad penny, I’ll keep turning up.”

"Well, you think you can keep turning up someplace else? Like.. Not right in front of the only working coffee machine in the whole settlement?" Maiko half-asked with a deadpan expression, then proceeded to forcibly push past Kennedy, holding her hands together in front of her like a plow. "Move."
