Sarge nodded weakly. "Yeah... thanks." He sighed. "I can't believe it... all that time with the corps and all I suffered was this scar on my face... now I go up against a bunch of lizardmen and lose my best hand..."

"Well... I'm sorry for you're loss?" Adrian seemed uncertain, but then remained quiet concentrating on either getting Sarge upstairs... or something else. A few moments, and she teleported him and her to Sarge's room. She carefully let Sarge sit on the bed. "Lie down, get some rest, ya hear?"

Sarge shook his head, and walked over to his closet. "I had always been prepared for something like this." He pulled open the closet, reached into the back, and pulled out a robot hand. He then sat down on his bed, and pulled out a knife, and began cutting away at his stump, so that the robot hand would connect to the right pieces of his hand.

Adrian couldn't help but watch in interest. Her head tilted and her eyes blinking in confusion at times. "Sarge... how'd you know this was going to happen?" She asked, looking to him, still standing sort of in the middle of the room.

Sarge shrugged. "It was inevitable. I have an entire robot body in there." He told her. "When you fight as much as I do, it's inevitable you'll lose a limb sooner or later."

"Oh... true..." Adrian nodded, and looked at the robot hand. Stared at it. Seemingly zoning out, ADrian stood there, eyes half closed, thinking of something obviously disturbing or sad, seeing how much silence she made.

Sarge eventually finished, and shoved the hand on. It took a while for the hand to fix to his arm, and when it eventually did, he flexed his new fingers. "Nowhere near as good as the old one... and no use for firing a weapon, either."

Adrian said nothing. She just stared now at nothing in particular, but down. Her arms hung limply at her sides, tired, and she was slouching a bit, her back also tired. Her hair still tied into a tight bun suddenly looked a little messed up, and her ears were drooping.

Sarge looked across at Adrian. "What are you so sad about? I'm the one without a hand."

Adrian didn't say anything for a few more moments, but suddenly her eyes widened, her ears perked up and her back straightened. "what? What'd I miss?"
It was like she had just woken up form a nap in class after the teacher had asked her three times to wake up.

Sarge rolled his eyes. "Whatever..." He sighed, reaching into his coat, and pulling out a syringe with blood in it. He stuck it in his arm, injecting it.

Adrian nodded to herself, and began to silently head to the door. Keeping her gaze to the floor, she didn't want to disturb Sarge any longer.

Sarge pulled out his wallet, and took out about $400. He held it out to Adrian. "Do me a favour, go into town and buy me an XBox, an XL D.R.E. programming modem, and a packet of cigs." He told her. "You can keep the change."

Adrian turned around, and blinked at him in surprise. "Well.. ok.. I can do that," She said, and nodded. "I'll be back as soon as I can..." Adrain raised an eeybrow. "But wait, since when did you need XBox?" She asked, confused by this sudden need.

Sarge shook his head. "I don't, I just need the insides. But it works out cheaper to buy the whole XBox than it does to buy all the insides seperately."

"O..k..." Adrian shrugged, then left the room after putting the money into her pocket. Daray was there, and offered a ride, but Adrian shook her head and kept walking. Out the door, down the dirt road, etc, etc,.
