Restoration

After you make your way through the crowd your group rushed out of the city, hoping to avoid another event like that. After you're all out of the city and out of sight of the residents all four of you flop down into the sand, that was more than the workout you needed in this sweltering heat. Kip groans in pain and Axon lets out a bit of an unflattering snort as they hit the ground, the mangled mess that was Kip pipes up in an attempt to lighten the mood a bit.
"That was hell...I'm a bit surprised I didn't lose my other arm...ha..." At this Axon lets out a bit of a chuckle, to which Aeryn glares at him.
"Ooohhh....right..." He mutters under his breath. The sovereign narrows her eyes, huffs in annoyance, and crosses her arms, which causes a metallic clang to ring through your ears. Kip yelps and covers her ears, Axon flinches, and you feel your face twist into a grimace, to anyone else that sound would have been nothing, but most members of your group are extremely exhausted and sensitive after the events that took place just moments ago. Aeryn can't help but notice everyone's reactions and gives a quiet,
"Sorry- sorry..." Collapsing back into the sand with an irritated sigh immediately after. Kip uncovers her ears as Axon begins to rummage through his bag, tossing out four albeit small, relieving bottles of water.
"Y'all look thirsty." He shrugs. With this comment, Aeryn sits back up and stares at the commander with an aghast expression.
"Oh yeah, not like we could have used those sooner shit-for-brains." To this Axon shrugs again.
"Sorry ma'am, honestly just remembered I had them." Your eyes dart between the two as they begin to bicker, not noticing Kip slide away from the argument and next to you until you feel her practically squeeze your guts out in irritation and slight fear. The bickering progresses into a full-on shouting match in a matter of minutes and continues for a while until Kip finally released you and stands up with her hand on her hip and loudly clears her throat. The two freeze in their tracks and glance over at Kip, but this only lasts for a moment and they're tearing into each other again. Kip taps her foot impatiently and you roll your eyes. After a few more moments you finally shout,
"AYE DOUBLE A, I THINK ITS TIME TO CUT IT OUT- ripping each other's throats out isn't going to get us ANYWHERE." You let out a huff of annoyance as the two stop and stare through your very being. Gulping and scooting back you continue, "I mean- arguing is just taking up too much time, time that we don't have to be wasting..." Axon and Aeryn pause again, this time with a sigh each.
Axon seems more than annoyed and Aeryn has a hint of shame in her expression as she looks away and reluctantly mutters,
"I suppose you're correct..." You roll your eyes once again and hiss,
"Damn right im correct, now come the fuck on and just drink so we can get back on our aching feet." You're surprised at the tone you used with your own ruler. 'the heat must really be getting to me...' you silently say to yourself as you unscrew the cap to your bottle and contemplate chugging, but settling on taking a few meer sips to ration.
