He raised a brow. "I'm just lively...." The dark haired man said gaving himself much wanted credit. "Why? I have to do things in a way or else I guess it doesn't work for me....Okay, so that's a big lie but still..." He grinned a bit, taking the cigar from the man and puffing at his graciously. "Damn I needed that..." He blew a ring into the air letting his dark green eyes settle on the other man. "So, tell me, why does the embassy hate you ever so much to give you this suicidal mission, or did they just want you to get me because I was missed?" His tone had changed completely to being omething that was so cold hearted and low that it was a bit unsettling.

"Yeah they missed you....they missed you so much that they forgot to mention ya when they send me on the hellish mission and expected us to get into an all out battle until one of us, or hopefully both of us died and, oh God forbid we come back without a scratch. His thoughts towards the embassy's older agents weren't exactly respectable and he'd made it clear through tone. He took back the cigar, taking a few puffs and then leaning back against a tree, hiding his chin in his nekercheif. He let the ribbons of smoke curl from his lips, silently watching them vanish in the musty air. They were outside, and the smell of that damn place still clouded his nose and stained his tongue with the taste of rotting flesh,...it sucked to be hated. "...I guess they were hoping this mission would be my last so my blood was too far away to stain their hands but...." He grinned shrugging his wall broad shoulders. "Guess what.....I'm still here......" he chuckled a bit, passing the cigar back, and whiping his nose again, catching the start of a cold. "I guess I have you to thank for that huh Mr....ehh, Jack Black....it was?" he spoke with a more friendly voice now, calming down to be quite a guy to hang out with, maybe catch a drink with later.

He shrugged. "Hey, last time I was there they knew me well, I had respect and then they shipped me up and sent me off. Bein' honest with ya, I don't think somethings too right but no one'd believe me with my crazy preachings. S'not like it'd matter anyway, you're the first person that won't the ambassador that I've spoken too in about a year and half..." He sighed, going into one of his two bags and pulling out what was about a remaining pint of an amber liquid. He bit the cork top off the bottle he took a swig before handing it to the other man. "Wanna swig? It packs a punch..." He said not knowing how old the stuff was, something his father had had.

"Greatfully..." he murmured, taking the bottle and drinking a healthy portion, taking in the flavor and the burning sensation before melting into it and taking another sip before handing it back. "Thanks..." he muttered...leaning against the tree, sleepless nights and constant excitment of the day finally catching up with him, God what he'd give up for a nice comfortable bed right now, with pillows, blankets, and sheets...he'd gone so long without one and by now, the bark on this tree was starting to feel comfortable. He chewed on the inside of his mouth for a moment, grimacing when he bit down too hard. "alright twitchy, lets get some sleep, there's no need to stay up all night if we're gonna be walking all day tomorrow and possible the next one too. He pulled his hat over his eyes and crossed his arms, using his shirt as a protection between his back and the bark on the tree,....he was out in about ten minutes...not something he'd normally do around someone he didn't trust but he was too tired to give a damn right now.

Jackie wasn't too sure he liked this new name. Twitchy? He huffed, curling up where he was since it was already heated and his butt had soaked up most of the moister in the ground, he yawned and fell out on his own after having made sure the fire wouldn't go out during their sleep. The next morning he was washing something else, getting ready to eat again. He had put out the fire with sand or well dirt and a tad bit of water. "Hey, Crocy..." He said poking at him with a twig. "Up....up lets go..." Jackie wasn't too good at sitting around in the early morning.

Unlike his morning-kind of person friend, Croc was not a morning person....-What.So.Ever.- He groaned a few times, even swatted at him with his tree trunk arms, but eventually he figured enough was enough and he got up, dusting off his shirt with a few good wacks and then putting it back on. His coat had been desinigrated ages ago, when his safe house had been burned down. It figured as much, but at least it wasn't his hat. He was wondering if the little collepto of his had brought back any more fruits and nuts to eat...he was perfectly capable of finding his own food, but of course if someone else was willing he wasn't going to complain. He made his way to the creek that Jackie used as his food washer and knelt down on his knees, washing his face and taking a few sips. He knew the area by now and this stream was clean unlike the ones that he'd mapped out to be poisoned. It would take a days worth of walking plus several hours of the night for them to find this clean water, it ran directly from the mountain. "So, I figure we can eat breakfast while we walk, and that'll save some time....what do you think mr. clean?" He asked watching him clean the food in his hand as if it was coated in hard mud.

Jackie had just about been ignoring the other larger man until something had been said. "Huh?...oh um well....Whatever, it's fine with me." He went back to washing over the fruits he had collected that morning, a few more of the ones he liked from yesterday. Shaking those off to dry the dark haired man put them in one of his safe pockets and began to wash the nuts and berries doing the same with them. "The hell do you give me so many names for?" He asked hissing over his shoulder at the larger more muscular man, it wasn't that he didn't mind the attention Jackie just wanted to know why. He scurried over to the place where they had made camp and checked on his belongings before sitting erect and looking about. "We need to get a move, now." He gathered up his things, leaving his gray hat on his head, just incase they were to run into trouble he could claim to have been taken prisoner and help the other out of death row eventually, but that was only if worse came to worse. "I'll give you food in a moment. Come on! We gotta go!" He pulled his small bag up onto his shoulder and held onto the other small bag as he hurriedly made his way back over to crawl over the other man, this guy may as well have been a tree for Jackie's amusement.

Raoule ignored his complaining and his statements, taking his time to wash away the rough night. He'd much rather ignore the other but that was becoming difficult for his voice seemed to be able to penetrait through any mental barrier he set up. "For the love of God will you shut the hell up and let me collect my thoughts, Christ we're not in that much of a hurry...one: they shouldn't even start looking for you until tomorrow, embassy rules and two: the bigger fuss you make, the more we stick out so just try to calm down would you!" He wasn't exactly fond of his current travel partner and he was defiantly not fond of his random outbursts of frantic energy. He dipped his hat in the water then rang it out before setting it back on his head. He went back to his sleeping spot and gathered up his stuff, making sure to beat the other off from using him as a packmule again. "Alright alright, we're leaving come on..." He started walking, instinctly walking behind the other so he could keep an eye on him. The day was hot, sticky, and the musty smelll still managed to creep into his nose.

He fell onto his butt after the other had beaten him off. "God, you won't ever cut a guy a break. I'm going to guess that they were getting uppity about rats fucking with their food supplies but hey, whatever." He sighed getting up and shrugging it off. "Why are you always so goddamn grumpy anyway? When was the last time you got laid?" He joked a bit knowing that pent up sexual hormones could always make a person testy. The dark haired man couldn't help but chuckle at his own jokes. He walked in front, all day, not really minding but feeling very un-trusted. And to think, he had shared a drink and a smoke with this guy, figures. By that night his clothes were sticking to him, he vest was no longer comfortable and was chafing under his arms, his bandana was jus getting annoying, hair having been tied back loosely with a piece of twin was sweaty and wet. He was officially miserable. "I demand a creek, stream, anything that I can wash up in." It wasn't that he was a neat freak but sometimes enough was enough. "It's dark and I feel completely fucking horrible." He sneered taking his hat off to fan himself with.

Raoule was now chewing no the last fourth of his cigar. It was too soon to light it but at least the flavor would touch the tip of his tongue. "Stop your grogging, you'll just make it worse." He moaned, after slapping his arm to kill his millionth masquito that day. He'd lost his shirt now, having ripped it in strips incase something of that sort was needed and left a good portion to be a sack to carry food, his black, golden lined bandana being the only clothing on his upper torso now, he'd even lost his belt to hold his shirt together to keep the food in. "We can't make camp until we've reached a stream, creek, river, something, anything with drinkable water, otherwise we need to keep going, we're lucky the sun isn't beating on us again but traveling at night will be just as dangerous.....from your experience with the Grey Nations...how far do you think we'll get away before they're looking for ya....day wise?"

"With those blimy bastards?" He asked scawling hating them more than anything right now, blaming their prediciment on them rather than himself. "I say anywhere from three to five days, I wasn't important to them, not to anyone really so maybe even a full week before they notice I'm gone. Didn't make any friends, it wasn't worth it." Jackie said poit blank on that, the sound of detest growing in his tone. "For what it's worth they probably won't notice, they'll be to busy dying." He scoffed as he kept walking up until he was walking and completely disappeared. It was a drop off, he was holding onto the remander of what had to be a tree root and was looking up as if he were going to have a massive heart attack. About fourty feet below him was a large river, possible a way for them to get lost quickly from where they were.

The other man was pratically on his toes, arms waving in a backwards circular motion until he had caught his balance and was once again on safe ground. He gathered his thoughts quickly, then bent down on hands and knees to pull the other up back onto safe ground. "heh, looks like we've found the river..." He chuckled finding the whole thing rather ironic on account of the fact that he wasn't the one dangling over the side of a cliff. He pulled back, safely onto the ledge, then looked out over the water and trees, examining the area. "Well amigo...looks like we're going to have to find another way to get the fuck out of these bloody woods." He grimaced, pointing towards a light in the far distance across the river that was most likely from a camp fire. "If it's not the greys...its probably someone worse that will kill us on the spot....so...any ideas that don't involve us being caught and tortured?

"Well...." He grinned, strumming his his fingers together, a dangerous look growing behind those dark green hue eyes. "It'll be dangerous, but it sounds logical and will save us about a days worth of walking....So, what do you say? Are ya in?" He hated spoiling his ideas when he wanted to go through with them anyway. Sighing he knew the bigger man wouldn't go for it unless he knew what it was about so it was time to elaberate. "Okay, so. We slid down this ledge, avoid those rock down there or is that dirt...Well either avoid those rocks or land on that dirt. Trave down stream a ways and then cross sometime tomorrow or quickly this evening, set camp and look for food. Fish have to be in the stream...." He licked his lips egerly leaning down, looking at everything, keeping it plotted out in his mind. "I think it would work, and if you don't want to go then I'll meet up with you later." He said knowing that persuasion was the only way to go about it sometimes.

"I guess once again, with you, I have no choice", he grumbled holding onto the other one so he didn't fall face first off the cliff when he looked over the edge thinking about the fish. "Alright then...lets get the hell outta heEERRRE!!!" With one step back to far he slid backwards off the ledge, sliding on the dirt, it scraping against his skin, for what seemed like forever was only a 40-foot slide on muddy surfaces until he made it to the water, hitting it hard, but considering his surroundings, it was probably his best landing. He stay under for a moment, then broke the surface, crashing onto the shore and gasping heavily. He was wet, muddy, blood, his hat was missing, which he snagged out of the water quickly. His pants were ripped up pretty bad and the taste of wet earth was strong in his mouth. The jungle was quite cold at night when you were soaked in water and bloody mixed mud coatings.

Jackie wasn't too far behind his fallen comrad. Though he knew how to handle it and was on his feet for the first few moments until a rock slipped him up and sent him tumbling head over heels down the rest of the thirtyfive foot drop. Then he found himself about five feet underwater staring up at the surface with burred eyes. He bound upward for air after a few moments, gripping as he drug himself out of the water, wincing and coughing. He had been doing good there for a few moments. "They just don't make ledges like they used to..." He coughed some more getting all the water out of his lungs. "Ya okay?" He asked laying on the ground no longer having a shirt and having lost his gray vest, which he wasn't complaining about. Though there was a small breeze flowing across his rear end. Though he didn't really mind just yet, everything else stung more so he would deal with that later. Fishing his belongings out of the water he sighed. "There, all here." He felt rathr relieved really, that had went a lot better than he had hoped.
