Take the bullets out your gun. [Pause] Did you hear me? We cannot let a stray gunshot give us away.

[Muffled, and then]

It's either that or meet the business end of a bayonet. The code word is 'Rochambeau' dig me?

What the fuck?

	Be calm. You can stand down. You're among friends here. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[Muttered] Like hell I will. Who is this? Where are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[firmly] You will, unless you want a bullet or a blade lodged in some harmless child by mistake. Look around you. Your battlefield is gone, yes? My name is Katarin. I'm speaking to you over the radio. What's your name? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes. Where have you taken me? I don't know what that is. [Pause, as he considers whether to lie.] Alexander Hamilton. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alexander Hamilton. Good. Listen now, I'm not the one who brought you here. I was brought here the same way, in the midst of a battle. It wasn't my enemy's magic, and it isn't yours. It just happened. By chance. Can you see any markings on the walls? It will be easier if I come to find you and we talk face to face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are a woman, why were you on a battlefield? These things don't happen by chance. There are no walls, it's a green space, a park. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A park. Are there any landmarks...distinctive animals, even? There are several parks and I do not want to head in the wrong direction. Call it ansikirya if you don't like chance. As for me, when a woman has seen her country invaded and her people slaughtered and oppressed, she finds she can shoot as well an a man. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why should I lead you straight to me? I'm no fool, ma'am, I know the sort of traps the English set. I will not sit here and wait to be ambushed. [Pause. He doesn't want to get drawn in, but curiosity gets the better of him.] What country? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do I sound an English woman to you? I am from Kordala. We are both very far from home. And if you will not trust me, and your own people are not here, you must trust someone else to help you and to explain this place. I mean you no harm. Whatever your battle, I have no side in it.

	[There is silence for a minute, while he thinks about all she has said.] I can hear running water, I think there is a river nearby. There are wide open fields, and a forest section not too far off. Ma'am, my wife is expecting a child. I promised that I would make it back alive. Please be real with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know the place. I am on my way, but keep talking to me. Try not to be startled at the sight of me. I'll give a wave and a whistle, and I'm in red skirts. You'll see your wife again. There are things I do not want to say over the radio, because it's better to look you in the eye and tell you, but you're safe here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alright, I'll try to keep talking then. I can cope with most things if I have that to hang on to. You're making me nervous. What sort of things? (Reply to this) (Parent)
