He swallows. His shoulders relax slightly. "This isn't over." he says, before taking Keira's hand. "Come on. You need to be checked over. You're right - he's not worth it, Key." He gives McGill one lasting glare before escorting her over to the waiting medics. The reality of his actions wouldn't dawn on him for some hours, yet. Right now, he's justified in his anger. Right now, he was putting a mission commander with a superiority complex in his place. The looming meeting with Captain Ransumnair is all but forgotten in the desire to get Keira seen to.

she ought to let it be, to squash the argument entirely at this point, considering they were literally walking away from it all... and yet, ever the rebel, ever the problem, keira can't let sleeping dogs lie. she's never been one to back down from confrontation, she sure as shit wasn't going to start now, more than willing to use this new supposed-abduction trauma to her own benefit. especially not when howie's professionalism was being weaponised against him. " OI, LIEUTENANT ! " she shouts into the growing distance between them, twisting her upper body almost a full 180 to stare behind them as they walk away. her eyes twinkle as they meet mcgill's, satisfied she had secured his full attention for her next act ; a totally defiant little brat-like move. the hand not securely held in howie's lifts, middle finger aimed towards the lieutenant as casually as one might wave to a friend across the road. her tongue lolls out of her mouth too, the very picture of disobedience. she wasn't a soldier, and she really wasn't scared of some big man barking in indignation.

"Yes! Chickens. We had them on the Isle of Skye. I think Josh used that as an excuse to get Lennie, even though he was just trying to get me out of the house more. He also hated one of them because she'd keep pecking at him. He called her Margaret. Hatcher. I think he was glad to see her go at the very least." She smiles, shakes her head. "You know, I still can't believe that happened to him, but then he's always been one for getting into trouble. Are you ready?"

" yeah well, just part of his charm, i guess, seeing as we're both pretty bloody good at finding trouble... that, and the italian helps a bit too, " a sharp grin flashes across her face then, as well as that dangerous little twinkle of mischief in her eyes ; very much a hint that chloe might not want to investigate that last comment too hard. but keira gives a wink to shift past that topic, reaching up with her free hand to fluff at the mass of curls spilling down her back as they stared at the grand house. almost as if she were nervous, feeling somewhat out of place here. " yeah... " she exhales, wishing she could grab a quick smoke before having to deal with the likely-very-snooty-people inside, " yeah, fuck it. we deserve some peace and quiet — and you have years worth of gossip to share with lil ol' me whilst we relax !
