[Simon is at his side, hands at his arm and shoulder. Look he knows he's being stupid, but also he didn't forget that Gabriel saved him too. It's not even that he feels he owes him, hell Gabriel clearly doesn't expect that from him either, but... but he can't just leave him like this.
Even if it would be smarter.]
Hey hey, take it easy.
[Karina is behind him, worrying with her hands watching them, looking around and listening. Cautious.]
Simon if he doesn't want our help just let him go.
[Her tone is almost pleading. He knows it's not that she doesn't care, his sister isn't some heartless monster, but they all know things are different now. Risking their necks like this is asking to get killed, but...]
Hey, it's going to be okay— you should go ahead, you've got the crossbow after all. Just stay hidden and quiet and let everyone know we'll be coming soon.
[It's honestly safer for her to go on alone. She's much smaller, easier for her to hide if she comes upon anyone.]
But Simon—
[He looks back at her, smiling.]
I promise, we'll be there. Okay?
[Karina looks like she wants to protest more, to argue, but after a moment she'll nod looking sad and resigned. Hefting the crossbow on her shoulder she looks at Gabriel, then her brother.]
You promised. You better be there.
[Simon just nods.]
I will be, now Simon says get going.
[Still looking reluctant she'll head off ahead of them, hoping this won't be the last time she see's her brother. She can't lose him too.
