*GM gets up and stalks off pretty much right away, getting on his motorcycle and riding out through the trees. After a moment, Deckard also stands and quietly excuses himself – he really just wants to be left alone. If anyone tries to follow him, the other Braves will tell them not to. Of those who stay, it's . . . challenging to get most of them to talk. DB does easily, and he's the most expressive of them, loudly angry and hurt and /grieving/. Duke will speak but he's dispassionate about it. McC will but only if directly asked. PJ and Dmps are sullenly silent more times than not, letting McC and DB do all the talking. And . . . where did Maru go? When did he even slip off?* *Kage is also gone. If Maru will let him close he'll be with his brother, silently there it there to talk as Maru needs, if Maru won't let him close then he's just staying back and keeping and eye on him. Terris isn't forceful about making anyone talk, everyone grieves in their own way and time. He'll encourage the talking, but won't force it, though he will gently shush anyone that tries to quiet another from speaking. This is a safe place to voice their feelings, good or bad. They'll finally be interrupted by children. They slip over quietly, but eventually DB will find Kendra crawling into his lap to pet his face. She'll pause now and then to reach for Dumpson and McC in turn to pet their arms. Shaila sill grawl into Duke's lap and love on him. Jendayi wraps her arms around McC and gives his cheek a few kisses. And Mitham will sit by Dumpson, leaning against him.* Mitham: ....It's really hard to lose someone you love. It hurt more than anything. It gets better though...with time. I don't know if it ever goes away, but it gets better.
