"You're right, on both counts apparently and I won't say different to anyone who has a complaint after the smoke clears and they see how much blood there is on the ground."

"Least we can say they're keepin' things interesting." Dry, dark humor kept him breathing sometimes. He nods at her command and follows at her shoulder, long steps carefully set down so as to make as little noise as possible while moving at top speed. It wasn't like they were going to have to look hard - the Forest Talkers seemed to outnumber them 2 to 1 at least and the streets were practically packed. In comparison to what Milton usually is.
They didn't have to wait long either, for a few new faces running at them with axes and guns and knives, ready to put them down if they let them.
