She’d been running for god knows how long now, the only companion in her adventures a rifle and some ammunition with a bottle of water that was half empty now. She knew that should she remain in this place alone for long and should she not reach any form of civilization in time, she’d die of dehydration. And without chemicals and Talon looking after her, she imagined it could take less than a week for her to collapse of exhaustion.
Widowmaker was not familiar with these grounds, only heard stories of an infamous gang lurking in these places. How lucky was she to stumble upon them in her pacing? In fact, with the undergone changes and constant mood shifts from Amelie to Widowmaker, she did not even notice how she was surrounded by people with weapons until it was too late to run.
Everything happened so fast, even for her; when she was finally facing their leader, she was only trying to stand still and straight. Attaching her rifle to her back, she lifted both her arms up in the air. “No business, my lady,” she announced, French accent thick and voice dry. “I am only looking for a place to rest.”
it’s hard to know when to trust. elizabeth normally errs on the side of caution, distrusting anyone and anything she comes across. she trusts her family ( the deadlock gang ) but no one else, and she is certainly hesitant to trust a stranger with a rifle on her back. her eyes narrow, watchful as she tries to process the situation at hand.
❝ ain’t much ‘round here, ❞ she says hesitantly, obviously not keen on giving much aid to this traveler. she takes a few steps closer -- slow steps, cautious. the more she thinks on it, the more she thinks perhaps this woman is lost. if she was after the gang, why would she take an approach like this? besides, they can always confiscate any weapons she has, and keep watch on her around the clock.
elizabeth looks to bob at her flank, who seems to be as undecided as she is. another moment, and her gaze returns to the wanderer. she looks undoubtedly weary. a light sigh escapes painted lips. ❝ i’ll give you a place to spend the night, then. bob’ll take your weapons. ❞ she motions him forward, and he approaches the stranger, holding out a hand to receive any weapons she surrenders.
