"Wow, okay, that was really... hey!" Palmer objected as Rory held up three fingers. "We're out of the camp, I'm not giving us away, doesn't count."
"Fine. I'll take what I can get." Rory cracked his knuckles.
"Not until we're on the ship," James snarled, temper frayed by the strain he'd been putting on himself. "There's patrols to worry about, still. Move."
