"Men tend to be that way," Amélie commented as she navigated her way through the woods, following the sound of water now that she could hear it. "I usually do not have to worry about them. No sniper of any skill takes injury often, and I am the best in my world. Also Talon has many ways to repair their agents."

When she found the waterfall and pond, she came to a stop and looked the place over. Searching for a relatively level place with a tree or large rock she could lean again, Amélie ventured further, her footing sure despite being injured. The joys of that enhanced agility.

"But they are not here." So she had to handle it on her own.
