Verdell groaned, then stood up slowly. On a few moments of reflection, he noted a few things.

1. He had failed his first impression. Great. While he didn't really care for Gillian, failure to meet expections will lead to less pay, and he was broke when arriving up this mountion. You did not come equiped with currency on missions. Basically, he had to butter up to someone who he had no repect for. Lovely. Well, at least he had an idea for the next mission to these mountions.

2. He had still little to no information on the people surrounding him. Gillian and the "It's not a Phase" seemed to be bonding. Zincz was Zincz, nothing else to really note. Reza was the only good natured person here, poor soul. And Gora appeared to have a grudge against him. So, to get expectations back, he could pair with Zincz, know Reza, try to distance himself from Gora, and walk behind Gillian. If they experienced trouble, he could dispose of it while the girl was being carried. Not a good plan, but good enough.

3. Not a single person had touched his coffee. Why, though? He knew it sucked, it was bloody packets, after all. Still, no one? Had he put the coffee in there? Yes, he did. Wow, so much for great expectations. They didn't even take up free food.

After reflecting, he started to pack up his gear, just throwing the leftover cups and their contents into the forrest. He didn't need them, he bought them shortly before climbing up the mountion. Stove? Check. Lighter? Check. Two cups? Check. Right, all good. He was now ready for whatever was ahead, for better or for worse.

Walking to the pair, Verdell ended his thoughts on an open note, not really caring if anyone heard or not,

"You know, just between you and me, if I was intelligent enough to read between the lines of the ledger, I wouldn't be here right now. I'm stupid enough to go on this bloody trip, so you might was well up and get used to me."
