Laurel was silent for awhile as she scooped up the egg dish she had made and put it on a plate. Then she turned and set it in front of Raven before slowly taking a seat across from him. "Because..." she said quietly, staring at the food, "I'm the only one left he loves."


Kale shrugged, "I think you'd be pretty handy. We'd have to get you a pair of night goggles though, since yours aren't built in." he chuckled.

"... And how will he feel when he realizes what he's been hurting the one person left he loves?" he asked quietly.


Blaze shrugged a little. "If you think I'd be helpful, I guess."

"You've seen it." Laurel stated, "He apologizes and we move on." The defensive air was starting to come back.


Kale nodded, "I think I'd be good if you got out." he smirked.

Raven sighed a little. "... If the roles were reversed, how long would it take you to forgive yourself?" he asked even though he knew she'd probably shut him out again.


Blaze blinked, clearly not seeing the connection.

Laurel shot Raven a small glare, "He loves me and I love him. That's enough. He won't live without me, he's said it himself. I won't let him die." she declared as she stood. "Enjoy your meal." and started to walk out.


"Outside." Kale repeated before gesturing around him, "Out of this camp of madmen." he explained.

"... He's not going to die," Raven noted, even though she probably wasn't listening. He stared at the eggs for a few minutes before finally starting to eat slowly.


Blaze seemed to become more confused, but she didn't ask for clarification.

Bee drifted in after a few minutes, going to fridge to get herself a snack. "He's sleeping rather peacefully." she noted to Raven as she took a seat at the table.


Kale watched Blaze for a moment more before chuckling to himself. "Anyway, I'm going to take off in an hour if you want to come. We can meet up at the side door."

Raven nodded, but didn't say anything.


"What should I bring?" Blaze asked.

"How's Laurel coming along?" Bee asked after a short moment.


Kale shrugged, "Something comfortable, preferably black. It might get a little cold." he added, "Also if you have a gun you prefer, it might be needed."

"... I still haven't really been able to get through to her," Raven admitted.


"I don't have a gun," Blaze replied.

Bee sighed a little as she nodded, "Sometimes I think she's too strong willed for her own good." she admitted, "Too independent even when she clearly needs help."


"Do you have knives or something?" Kale asked as he finished up his pancake, dunking it in more syrup.

Raven didn't reply as he kept eating his eggs.


Blaze nodded a little as she poked at the last of her vegetables.

Bee watched Raven for a few moment longer before standing with a sigh. "... You should make her laugh." she suddenly suggested, "All this dreariness isn't good for either of you."

"Good. Bring a few along." he nodded as he stood, "See you soon then."

Still, Raven didn't say anything.


Blaze nodded a little as she stood and cleaned up her plate.

Bee paused, "... Do you want me to help?" she asked quietly.

Raven shook his head as he finished up and started to clean up.
