Jack put a hand behind his neck and smiled a bit, embarressed. "Living conditions arn't too bad here. It's just fighting off the daily boredom that's a pain." He said. "You're....going to write things down right?" He studied them and cocked his head. He inhaled on his cigarette. He felt comfortable as long as he didn't do the talking.

Maggie nodded. "And takin' your picture," she said lightly. "If you don't mind."
Dean smirked. "Of course not," he said, glancing to Jack, then back to the others briefly. "Well come on." He took a few steps back, towards camp.
Axel walked forward then, sniffing at the older man, then Maggie. The man didn't really do much but push him along. Maggie smiled though and let the dog sniff her hand before petting him.

Jack offered a sweet smile to Maggie before nodding. He glanced to Dean. "Well this is our home. Not much to look at I know. That's my tent and Deans. We sleep in the same tent as our battle buddies so that it's safer." He said slowly. "Right now we're on our third? Yeah third week of all quiet. Not a shot fired. Not an enemy in sight."

"Boring as fuck," Dean muttered.
David chuckled and nodded a bit, walking with them. Maggie paused to take their picture though, before hurrying to catch up, snapping shots of the camp as well.
"And how many of you are there?" she asked after a moment. "In this camp here?"

"Thirty? Oh....no." Jack said, thinking and correcting himself. He sighed. "Only...twenty-seven now." He swallowed a bit and sighed. "We lost a few men a month ago. IED got them...Don't ask why we're still here."

Maggie nodded, pulling out her notepad and scribbling that down. "So have you guys gotten any interesting intel lately?" she asked calmly. "Or are they keeping you guys as uninformed as the rest of us?"
Dean chuckled a bit. "You know we technically aren't supposed to answer those sorts of questions."

Jack shrugged. "Classified. What exactly are you trying to find out here?" He asked walking backward for a moment. He studied them for a bit but her tripped backwards over a fold up chair and tumbled backwards into the sand, rolling over, a face full of sand.

Dean quickly grinned and laughed out loud. Axel bounded forward, licking his face.
Maggie quickly snapped a picture of Dean laughing, just because. But she was nice enough not to take one of Jack.
"You okay there kid?" David asked.
Maggie frowned a bit at the way he asked that. She would have gone to help him up if she didn't think it would hurt his pride that much more.

Jack spit out sand and tried to push away the dog. "Yeah...yeah I'm okay." He coughed a bit and spit on the sand. "You get that?" He laughed a little, struggling to his feet and picking up the chair and putting it aside neatly. "Really? Who keeps chairs in the middle of the camp path?"

"I would," Dean said lightly, still laughing some. "Just to see you do that again." He grinned at his friend. "Why didn't you tell me you were a stunt man?"
Maggie smiled a bit, watching them. She quickly took another picture as Dean slipped his arm around Jack's shoulders for a moment. "So... what are you guys' names?"
Dean dropped his arm. "Well I'm Captain Dean Talley," he said lightly, for once sounding a little proud of that fact. "Weapons Specialist."

Jack smiled a little and punched Dean in the gut lightly. "I'm Corporal---" He punched his friend again and pushed him away laughing. "Jack Larson." He smiled lightly.

Dean grinned. "Hey, don't make me kick your ass, corporal," he teased. He shoved him back a bit.
Maggie quickly snapped a few more pictures, hastily shoving her notepad away after jotting down their names.
"Easy on the camera, Mags," David said jokingly.
"Hey lay off. I like proof, thank you very much. I'm doing my job, which is more than I can say for you, right now."
David laughed and shrugged, turning away a bit to look around.

"Oooo woah! Ouch. Ouch. Maggie right? Yeah, you'd fit right in here." He grinned lightly, snorting. He felt a little more comforable, but only because he was forcing himself to be. He hated his awkwardness. He was good at hiding it....kind of.

Maggie laughed a little. "Thanks," she said lightly.
Dean chuckled a bit, nodding in agreement. He could tell though, that Jack really wasn't excited about them being here. He was too quiet of a guy. "Well so... what kind of story you two looking for? You can't have just come out here for our names and some snap shots."
Maggie shrugged a bit. "Just wanted to see what it's really like out here is all."

Jack shrugged. "Not much to say, really. How long are you staying? I mean this is a battle zone. Even if...well." He looked around. "Battle is absent."
