Preston sheathing his rapier for the moment, Preston takes the time to check his carbine. Flicking the safety back on, and methodically reload it. The used magazine is tucked safely away into a pocket of his vest.

“Chalk up another one for the DILF Destroyer!” Dovie cheers!

Gabriel says “Looks like all the fun was over here. I did enjoy taking some pot shots though.“
Obadiah looks to Patience, “I was trying to get her number but you and Ambrose were all memememe Time and Place Obadiah!’

“Good work, d’Argentre,” Salim says in the midst of correcting his armor, but sparing a moment to reach out with a gloved hand and clap Gwyndolyn’s shoulder.

Lorelei twirls her harpoon pistol once before tucking it away, likely prematurely, pausing just long enough to toss her curls and murmur, “I’m Lorelei. Five-four, Virgo, and dangerously underqualified.”

Patience smirks at Obadiah. “I mean there’s a time and place to find you a dommy mommy and the battlefield probably isn’t it,” she says with a little nudge. “You’re hilarious though.

Derek snorts after Obadiah’s statement, leaning his head against the heavily warded column and crossing his arms.

Gwyndolyn pulls her trenchcoat open, holding one end taut infront of her to inspect the myriad of bullet holes. And those were just the ones lining the front. Several metal plates were exposed to open air, and her hair looked as if it had gotten a new fresh dye job. “… Huh.”

“Love can bloom even on a battlefield, and all that,” Ambrose supposes evenly and deadpan to Obadiah.

Gabriel corrects Patience, “The battlefield is the best place for that.”

Dovie gasps at Patience. “Speaking of, did you hear about The Bachelor coming to New Haven?? The taping is live this Saturday!!”

Ambrose tilts a nod toward Gabriel, knowingly.

Gwyndolyn says “Any injuries on yourself, Carver?“
Obadiah nods to Gabriel, “Exactly! Gabe gets me.”

“And also the worst place for that,” Miles simultaneously agrees and doesn’t with Ambrose and Gabriel.

Patience cannot help but laugh as they wait for the extraction point to clear. “You guys!” she protests, but she does offer Dovie a nod. “I even told Miles about it, thinking they wanted hot guys, but I guess she already has the hot guy picked.

Giving himself another look over once more for good measure, Salim seems to come up satisfied as he gives Gwyndolyn a shake of his head. “Negative, I’m fine.”

Gabriel nods sagely to Obadiah, Ambrose, and Miles, “See, they get it.”

“There’s that saying on things being fair in love and war – I suppose this would be a two-fer?” Derek muses, clearing his throat as he peeks out towards the horizon as if expecting more.

Dovie nods at Patience. “It sounds like The Bachelor swings all ways though, so anyone can sign up?”

One could say that Miles exists in a state of quantum superposition between agreement and disagreement. All the same, he keeps squinting southwards as though he expects more chaos.

Obadiah says to Gabriel and Ambrose, “Honorary Mercers.”

Patience peers over at Miles and wonders impishly, “Do you swing both ways?

Gwyndolyn says “Now we get to sit back, and overhear the flirting.“
Dovie adds after Patience to Miles. “For a thousand dollars??”

“Only for Ambrose,” Miles replies to Patience automatically. It’s hard to say whether he’s joking.

Far be it for Ambrose to give romance and emotional advice to anyone.

Patience says, singing, “Love is a battlefield!“
Kurt says “And now that song’ll be stuck in my head all night…“
Salim runs towards the extraction point.
After hurting everyone’s ears with her bad singing, sorry Kurt, Patience turns to Gwyndolyn and says, “You’re the lucky lady he’s flirting with.”
