"Thanks," Marie said, sounding more absent than she was.
"Now," she said, leaving her pyrokinesis - her mage abilities - out of the discussion, "All I have to worry about is random monsters. Well, I probably should be afraid here, too, but by and large, we're crime-free. It's not like a place where there's forty thousand people and I didn't venture out after sunset because I was a single woman, and alone, and therefore a target."
Aleila stood in the shadows of a large tree, gazing up at the stars as she felt Jack approaching as Marie had done before. The park was a beautiful place and it seemed like she wasn't the only one drawn to its peace, quiet, nature and view. Aleila had always loved the stars. They where so mysterious and yet so uncomplicated... After all, they where there no matter what and seeing that they had even survived the last disaster, she could easily assume that they would always be there too.
She wondered whether she should approach the other two. After all, they where here too, and it seemed like they wouldn't mind company. She'd left her patient, the elf-woman, at her house as she craved a break from the emotions but standing here, she felt like she wouldn't so much mind to join the other two. In the end, she decided to wait a little before joining them, see whether she was welcome.
Jack nods, smiling. "Besides, who needs fear, when you've got so many bodyguards?" It was meant to be a joke, but Jack was really struggling to find any humour in this situation.
Earth wasn't supposed to die like this. He'd have read about it in the history books. It was disturbing that things had deteriorated, changed so radically.
But he was still trying to make light in a world of darkness.
"To be honest, I rather like the quiet of the midwest, but this is taking it to extremes. You know what we need? Something to liven up the town, a big party, or something... a Bar-b-que? What do you think, think the others will go for it?"

He gestured to the bench next to her, where there was a large space. "Join you?"
