"Hello everyone!" Anakin boomed through his megaphone. Was it absolutely necessary for him to be so loud so early?

No, but Anakin was mean.

"Today we are playing the very famous--" in camp circles, maybe? "--game called Burst the Balloons! As you can see, Beaker and I have scattered balloons around the park."

Beaker meeped at Anakin.

"--and filled them with a variety of surprises. Oh?" He grinned. "Well done for that initiative, Beaker. The balloons are filled with surprises. Working in teams, you must race to break all of your balloons before the other teams do! Listen for your names!"

Travis noted that slight flinch with a certain amount of pride. Distraction had worked perfectly.

“Yeah, probably a good call. I’m surprised more people don’t just up and leave these things."

Like you, Travis? No one was forcing you to be here.

"Blame nearly 10 years in the military. Quitting isn't really in my nature" Dwight said with a wink. "But a smart man know when it is best to ultimately surrender, and that time is now."

"Besides...." Dwight said, looking around. "Think the rest of my team has it pretty well under control from the looks of things."

Travis looked around, nodding absently. "And mine . . . does not. Guess I'd better get back to it."

"Yeah, of course..." Dwight said as he wiped his hands on the poor pirate shirt and let it fall back to the ground.

Holding out his hand he gave Travis' hand a firm shake then pulled him in closer for a quick hug, giving his back a firm pat. "Thanks, Travis" he said simply, hoping his friend understood what he was trying to say.

Travis hadn't been prepared, and was tugged right in. But he patted Dwight's back in return easily enough once he realized what was happening.

"Don't worry about it," he said. "See you around, Dwight."

"See ya, Travis. If you ever want to drop by or hang out after your shift, you know where to find me" Dwight said as he gave a wave and headed back towards his apartment.
