Steve stands and nods his head in agreement while putting the notebook away. Finally they were on the same page. He looks around at his gear and reaches around to his back where he takes the handgun. Handing it to Tommy who is more than happy to take extra weapons he opens the kitbag and removes four magazines which he squeezes into his leg pockets. The rest he hands to Tommy who looks into it, his eyes opening wide: Jesus, got enough in here? Wanna give us one of those swords too?

Steve looks at them both and nods his head to say no. It wouldn’t be something he could explain even with words, but it seemed like he didn’t need to. Tommy holds up his hand to say that he understands. Some things didn’t need to be said after all. He knew where the sword was from, and who it belonged to.
