[well if this isn't freaking great.

so, he's missed the part about zeta district being quarantined until just now, and he can't say he likes the look of what the hell is going on out there. he's seen these things before - because uh, didn't we just have to deal with this? come on! but it doesn't surprise him to see that here are still some stragglers left behind.

he peers into his omni-tool with one eyebrow raised, a very unimpressed expression sliding across his face.] So, I dunno about you guys, but I think I'm gonna stay inside for this one. It looks like it's raining bullets and damn if I didn't forget my bulletproof galoshes.

[pause.] I thought we got rid of all these things. Hey, either of you Shepards - what the hell's the deal?

[don't mind him, he's just watching all of this play out in utter bewilderment because he hadn't really expected something to make its way into their makeshift home.

he thought they'd been safe here. CLEARLY THAT IS NOT THE CASE. sheesh. talk about the wrong way to spend a wannabe vacation.

so much for the drinks with the little umbrellas .. he'd really been hoping for those.] Did I say I was gonna fight those things by myself? Nah, man, I'm following you. Let's go. Lead the way, oh fearless man with the sword.

[Dun glares, but keeps his mouth clammed and his temper curbed for once. He can't stand Joker's casual behaviour and sarcastic quips over the situation but now's not the time for him to snap over it. Their position was no longer safe and to tarry would be to invite death to their doorstep.

But just because he's watching his tongue doesn't mean he won't show his displeasure to Joker in other ways. His grip is perhaps a bit more (ok, maybe a lot more) tighter on Joker, and he all but drags the pilot with him to the window, taking a careful peek outside. No sign of any Adjutants, but the creatures seemed to like ambushes and used the darkness well for camouflage. So that ruled out using the back alleys. But walking out on the street is equally risky; there's more exposure to long range weaponry and they'd probably have to deal with the trigger-happy mercs too.

Dun utters a soft curse. He's not too sure which way to go. He's still trying to familiarise himself with the area, but he's still got ways to go.]

[dude, what were you expecting? you decided to room with this guy - maybe you should have done some background checks before you made that decision. because all you're going to get with joker is this kind of sense of humor, sarcasm and witty remarks any chance you get.

so you might as well bite the bullet and take it like the man you seem to be.

but once he feels that grip tighten on him he all but shoves dun back - or at the very least tries to, because there isn't much he can do with someone that has that much more muscle mass than he does.] Okay, hold on, there's one thing we gotta get straight here, samurai. This whole death grip thing you've got going on? You're gonna break my arm like that. I'd explain why but you'll probably just stand there and scowl at me while I do it so just .. take it easy, okay?

[he falls silent after that, allows the other to pretty much herd him wherever they're going, trying his best to keep up without having to be dragged most of the way. he'd really like to make it through this whole ordeal without breaking anything. really.]

[Dun actually snorts with disbelief at Joker. Still keeping his eyes trained on the area outside, he infuses his words with disdain and mockery.]

If you're from the military then you can endure a little bruise. I handle recruits, some of them mere boys without a hint of a beard, with far less care but I have yet to hear a single word of complaint from them.

But if you feel that I am too rough for your frail and delicate body, then perhaps you should consider a change of career. The military life isn't for the weak.

[Dun does loosen his grip though, when he realises that he is gripping Joker's arm in a vice-like hold. Perhaps he had been a little too rough with Joker, but Joker's mouth and his temper are two things that should never be in the same room ever. Still, Dun should conduct himself better than this. Yuan's always been on his case about how prickly he gets when he's riled up, and the fact is that right now they are in a danger zone and Dun needs to stop taking his frustration out on Joker. Even if Joker is the source of said frustration, and even if ranks have no meaning here, Dun is still a full-fledged, highly respected general of the Wei army. He needs to start acting more like one.

So instead of jostling Joker around like he had originally planned, he does tone down his hostility and actually slows down to better accommodate Joker's walking speed. Rather dragging him around, Dun soften's his hold on Joker's arm and allows Joker to use him as support. He's still a bit hasty about their speed, but he's no longer pulling Joker as much as he was a minute ago.

Dun's taken to the main street, using cover as much as possible to bring them towards the coordinates of the safe house. The mercenaries are out and about shooting at each other, but so long as Dun and Joker kept out of their way, things should hopefully be OK...]
