Just Outside The Main Gate, Saturday Morning

[bitchprince]

Much like the previous day, Saturday found Arthur venturing back down to the barricade. It was early, the sunlight was yet shallow and leaning towards overcast, and only the first warbles of birds became evident as he slogged at the thing.

At least it had remained intact overnight. He was in full armor yet again, with shamelessly modded Merlin at his side. He'd stayed quiet opposite the boy most of the time, barring talk of strategy. The magic was something that'd have to be discussed again if they managed to survive this whole mess.

He climbed up so he could take a quick survey of the town. Watching the still forms lumber about, he felt a chill settling in his bones. There was only one word he could use to describe it.

"Bugger," he muttered, succinctly, and ran a hand through his hair. Sometimes, he had a knack for brevity.

Tahiri nodded and gave her a smile, her apparent energy level an odd juxtaposition to her tired eyes. "I'm taking a couple of people to patrol along the edge of the preserve just in case. I'll stay in touch."

"Oh, good. Check in when you get to our side of campus?" Dinah said, trying to smile back. "Can you think of anything else to do to help? I feel like I'm forgetting everything."

Tahiri's laugh was a little forced. "I've done this before and I feel like I'm forgetting everything."
