Dahl flew the small helicopter over the jungle canopy, keeping an eye out for bot activity. Marie was manning her machine gun mounted with a clear view out the side door. He spotted a small cleared area that looked like a bot had gone through, but the damage looked old. Dahl hovered around the area, but other than the trees being cleared there didn't appear to be any activity.

"I've got some sandwiches packed, want to set down for a lunch?" he asked Marie. He also had a bottle of red that the French always brought as gifts when they passed through the area.

"Oui" ahe says scanning the horizon

Dahl flew a final circle over the small clearing, checking to make sure the landing area was clear, then landed the small helicopter. He went through the shutdown procedure, flipping switches and bringing the rotors to a stop. He looked back at Marie with a big grin, then grabbed the box that contained sandwiches, goat cheese, and the bottle of French red. 

He crouched through to the door and hopped out, turning to see if Marie would want a hand or not.

Marie rolls her eyes as she took his hand

[jp500]

Dahl grinned as Marie rolled her eyes but took his hand anyways. Once they were off the helicopter he walked over to a spot where some fallen trees made for a good backrest and put down the box. He forgot to pack a blanket to put the food on, but he rarely thought of stuff like that. Or to bring cups for the wine. He handed the bottle to Marie to uncork while he got the sandwiches and cheese out. He turned the box upside down to make it into a makeshift table and put the food on it. He did bring a table knife for the cheese, so that was good.

She sighs as shebtries to uncheck the bottle

Dahl glanced as Marie worked on getting the cork out of the bottle, then reached out to take it. "Here, grab some food and I'll do that."

[onearmeddruid]

"I can do it" she says

[jp500]

Dahl grinned and waved his hands in the universal sign of surrender and grabbed one of the sandwiches. He took a big bite and chewed it while watching Marie struggle with the cork. His grin never wavered, and amusement glinted in his eyes.

Dahl took another bite of his sandwich then cut some goat cheese which he quickly consumed. Still watching Marie, he wondered at the stubbornness of mercenaries. Were they all alike in this way? He wasn't one to think too deeply about anything, but sometimes a thought or two would pop into his head. He was getting thirsty though... 

Dahl continued grinning his stupid grin and said, "You think you'll get that anytime soon? Hate to die of thirst out here in the jungle."

She mutters in French as she eventually got the cork put

[jp500]

Dahl waits to see if Marie will take a swig of the wine before extending his hand for the bottle. 

[onearmeddruid]

She hands thr bottle to him

[jp500]

Dahl takes a swig of the wine and sloshes it in his mouth before gulping it down.

"Ah, refreshing!" he exclaims, offering the bottle to Marie as he takes another bite of his sandwich. It was a nice day to be out, even if it was the jungle. The bugs weren't bad yet, which was always nice. The one thing that Dahl hated most were spiders. Something about spiders always got to him.

She reached for the bottle taking a drink of it as she sits down, looking around the surrounding taking her flak jacket off for comfort
