Winter Wonderland [Halloween Special 1] (OPEN)

[[INACTIVE]]

"Ay I know that. But were do ye' come from?" He said in a mildly annoyed voice.

[SadDubwool]

"London."*He continued looking around*

[Farewell]

"Thank you.." Zaida said, she decided talking a bit more wouldn't hurt. Besides she needed something to occupy her thoughts. "I was born and raised in Paris, Sir."

[[INACTIVE]]

Oswald seemed to be enjoying the small talk. He smiled, "I was born in a small village near Manchester. Me and my brothers used to go tip cows all the time." His smile grew to a frown...

He looked over at Zaida, "Paris eh? Heard the women over there were beautiful. Haven't seen one yet but I'm keeping me eyes peeled for any of 'em." He laughed and continued walking, "Oi! Yankee Doodle! Where do you come from?"

[SadDubwool]

*Ryan looked at Oswald*


"Do you have anyone special back home?"

[[INACTIVE]]

Oswald looked over towards Ryan, his eyes meet the ground, "No... She died over ten years ago.." He smiled and looked up at Ryan again, "I'm still angry at her for leaving me with the little shits." He laughed, something was wrong about the laugh though. It sounded heartbreaking. Like he couldn't take it anymore.

[Farewell]

Zaida blinked, it was pretty often to hear the soldiers talking about women but was still awkward nonetheless. She wasn't sure how to respond and went quiet, rubbing the fur on her neck. Zaida instead listened to their conversation, not wanting to interfere. Her ears leaned back from the response he gave Ryan.

[SadDubwool]

*Ryan felt like he shouldn't of brought it up, something about that laugh was heartbreaking and souless*


"I'm sorry about bringing it up, Sir"

[[INACTIVE]]

"Nah, it's fine. I've moved on from it..." He clearly wasn't over it. He pulled a picture out. The picture was of him and two other small children. Next to Oswald was another person. A women. Possibly his wife.

He kept walking while looking at it.

"Jesus Christ I hope the little ones are all right..." He said tearing up

[SadDubwool]

"Sorry"*He said once more looking at him with a worried look*

[[INACTIVE]]

Oswald put the picture back and sighed, "It's all right son. You didn't know..." they kept walking.

Twenty minutes later

Oswald began to grow tired. He looked over at the group and stuttered, "S-s-should w-we stop for a tick?"

[SadDubwool]

*Ryan was exhausted by the time he said this*
"I would appreciate it.."

[[INACTIVE]]

They all sat down, Oswald checked to see how far they had to go. It seemed like they made barely any progress...

He sat back down and sighed, "I've never seen a trench system this **censor**' long!" he threw his hat of his head.

[SadDubwool]

*Ryan sat down and sighed*

[[INACTIVE]]

Oswald picked his hat back up from the ground and put it back on. He just sat in silence tapping his foot.
