Such had grown a supposed primary factor that must be navigated to maintain a life bearing any substance. Maybe a fool was the one who wished to find some kernal of truth in the prospect of peace, understand it not as a bridge towards another conflict brewing on the edge of obscured horizon, still he held it. All the more an idiot proven for this, too much seen, understood and encapulsed in a mind that gently pulled at the threads of more pleasant memories.
Peace and war a cycle, illusion, at the least a comfort to of some kind the idea of it.
There is little within way of reasoning for his proximity, familiar and comfortable the paths he walked, rooted only in mind as muscle guided, tread other paths as various threads of thought contemplated. Never so close to the assorted homes that dotted the stretch of sand had he come before, cruel reminder he wished to be free of. Lost was he and thus unknown how the distance closed, steps slowing only as voices rose, conversation stilted as reality settled in. Well accustomed had he grown to blood, strange and noticeable for the unique quality of it, nose twitching as head swivelled.
Too short the time before vision settled on the assembled, followed the trail left in wake, a cascade of crimson droplets.

Known in some fashion Roan and Goldenluxury, busy both, within their element as tended their patient. Alike basic his recall of the Captain who seemed to have a hand on the other side of things, all calm and relatively collected, except for one.
Approach slow, allowed her chance to turn him away at any time, her own the decision. Distance still present as he moved around and settled in front, blocked what was happening only feet away. "Is okay. They know what to do." What sowed such distraught he could only formulate a guess at, though easy enough this, briefly looking over his shoulder. Attention returned, no further words offered for the moment as awaited response to his first.
