Cable has posed:
With the safehouse cleared out and security re-established, Cable didn't press her. He got Ruth food, gave her a makeshift bed to sleep in. Whatever she saw, whatever she felt, she would tell him in time. Mutants they might be and creatures of destiny, but she was still a human girl and he could treat her with compassion.

He comes back from completing a small arms deal, setting aside a case with a few rocket launchers for a mission in northern Africa coming up. He had a cult of the Apocalypse to destroy. He also sets down a bucket of fried chicken and a few sides.

"Got some Colonel for you," he says.

Ruth Aldine (757) has posed:
Sleep. Even though the cot she had gotten was a bit used and made on the fly, it was great. Ruth snuggled into the mass of mess along with the cloak that he dropped and she kept, wrapped up, bundled. Belly full.. mind clear. Sleep.. endless sleep.. the dreams..

The boy with the white eyes..
the fire in the sky..

She woke with a start, her hands touching her eyes and soon to the floor to pick up the turkey leg that was left there. Sure, it was a bit old, but smoked meat seemingly never rotted..

Though, with him back, she curls up into the corner, her 'gaze' stared out as she chews quietly. Then finally, turkey tossed aside for a fresh piece of chicken, which was hot to the touch. And with the right amount of grease that makes a girl swoon.

"Sorry. Thank you.." She says quietly.

"When are we going to Zimbabwe?"

Cable has posed:
Cable takes out his own lunch, which isn't much by comparison. Hard bread, a bit of cheese, some nuts. Growing up as he did, he's never grown accustomed to the rich food fo the past. He can indulge on an occasion, but most of the time it just makes him sick.

"We?" he says with an amused tic at the corner of his mouth. "I had planned to make my assault this weekend," he says, "After the solstice, they'll be distracted. Their master will not have come and they'll be awaiting the next season. They'll be ripe to pick,' he says.

"Did you pluck that from my mind? Or did you foresee it?"

Ruth Aldine (757) has posed:
"Mm." Ruth said quietly, her head nodding as she feasts upon a potato wedge with a few little nibbles. She happened to find the biggest one, forgoing the ketchup for now, it was good as is.

"Saw when I was ten. Fragments. Thank you." She says quietly, then turns away. "You go. I stay in village. Have fun with kids." Simple enough, right?

Maybe.

Cable has posed:
Cable considers, "Probably pretty harmless," he says. He's not sure how he feels about the idea of using the blind mutant girl to distract the children of the men he'll probably be killing. He doesn't like remembering that he's making orphans.

Which won't stop him from doing it.

"Then I suppose you'll be coming," he says. He isn't the type to fight a prophet. "Anything else I need to watch out for?"

Ruth Aldine (757) has posed:
"Mm." Ruth says quietly again, finally finishing off her portion of the food, which wasn't much. She eats like a little bird, especially for someone who nearly starves herself to death.

"Yes." She stops, then glances up towards the ceiling, then shrugs her shoulders.

"Know when I know? Yes? Sorry.." Her lips curl up into a slight frown, then she sighs. "Wish for water. Rain too. Maybe it'll rain in Africa."
