Rebecca laughed at him "Can't wait for it" she glanced around at the table before smiling at him in response to his wink

Wraps!

She bustled around at the table, trying not to get in Kris's way as she gathered everything she needed, she cut the peppers and meat into strips, then she threw the wrap into the air and caught it in her cupped hand, she started to sprinkle the meat and peppers on the thin, round bread, she folded the bottom and the sides, then repeated it, she put the two cold wraps onto the table and watched Kris "Yours is done" she smirked as she folded her arms and watched him cutting.

Show off. Kris shook his head slightly at her, then turned towards the grill to fire it up. He had just finished cutting everything up, and now was time to spear everything.

It wasn't supposed to take him forever, but it seemed like it. The peppers, the meat, and the other veggies took him a little bit. But at least they looked - pretty - like that.

He turned to place them on the grill and shut the lid to keep in the flavor and to help heat it more.

"Good things come to those who wait."

He winked, and wanted to have her think about that one for a little bit.

Rebecca grinned at him "Practice" she told him and then she watched him "Hmm, true" she frowned as she registered the words, what did that mean? She bit her lip and tilted her head to the side, unaware of what she was doing, she moved closer to Kris and went on tiptoes "What does that mean?" she asked him interestedly.

Kris grinned at her curiosity, and turned around to flip the kabobs so they wouldn't get burnt or anything like that.

"You'll see."

He prodded the sticks for a few more minutes, and then carefully took them off of the grill. He slid everything off of the stick and onto a plate, where the aroma drifted around.

"And here we go."

Rebecca looked at the kebabs interestedly "Kebabs" she nodded and picked one up, taking a bite, she chewed it slowly and then turned to look at Kris, her face blank, she suddenly smiled at him "You're cooking for me in future" she laughed as she finished off the kebab "Try mine" she told him while holding it up, she waited for him to comment on it, she loved this, having fun with food.

Warren watched, slightly irritated, as Forrester stopped the rock and summoned it into his hand. He let the man continue on his little rant without saying a word but just watched as he reformed the tomato he had been so proud of showing off to Alexa before. As Forrester continued Warren looked into the trees and, finally, seeing them walk away muttered to himself, "Easy for you to say. The person you love isn't about to go get herself into serious trouble." Clenching his jaw he looked around and noted Alexa with Syd and some other guy. He turned his gaze back to the woods and down at the ground. Finding another rock he kicked it hard into the trees and watched as it disappeared. With a backward glance over his shoulder, noting how everyone was busy and not paying attention, he headed toward the tree line.

As he reached the edge of the clearing he stopped and peered into the darkness. How easy it would be to just walk away, like he had so many times before. Run from his troubles. He closed his eyes and rubbed the back of his neck. How easy it would be yet it wouldn't solve anything. In fact it might make things worse. He tilted his head back and looked up at the sky and the canopy of branches above, watching as the clouds passed by. With a tired sigh he turned back around to face the camp and sat down, leaning against a tree next to a boulder. He watched the people move about the camp from where he was, all the while never fully taking his attention off his surroundings. After sitting for about five minutes his leg started to hurt and he reached into his pocket to pull out the box that had been in his pockets for months.

Looking at the small velvet box thoughtful he ran his fingers over it and looked up to find Alexa. She was still with the other two setting up chairs. For such a big person he found it funny that no one had noticed him yet. So easy. He leaned his side against the boulder and flipped the box open revealing a rather large diamond ring. Nothing special about it. He brought his legs closer to him and rested his elbows on his knees as he pulled the ring out and watched it sparkle in the sunlight. It would do no good now. About as much if he chucked it into the trees behind him. If anyone had told him even a week ago that Alexa and him would be like this now he wouldn't have believed him. Not in the slightest. Still holding the ring in his fingers he looked up to watch Alexa again and swallowed. And everything I touch disappears in the end... Placing the ring back in its box he sat for a few more minutes before standing up and slipping it back into his pocket. We'll make this easy then. For both of us. Pushing all his feelings deep within him, all emotions lost, his face formed it's usual nonchalant appearance and he headed for the lunch table, ignoring Alexa on his way.

Reaching the table he nodded at Rebecca and the guy she was with and inhaled with a slight smirk, "Now those smell better then sandwiches. What are they?"

Watching Warren out of the corner of her eyes, Rebecca smiled at Kris and then turned to Warren as he approached "Well, I made wraps" she indicated the plate of wraps on the table "And Kris here, made kebabs" Rebecca grinned as she indicated the plate that was in front of her "Try some" she offered.

Alexa looked up from her task, having intently inspected the grooves on the plastic chairs, "Hmm?" She looked up at find Nicoli infront of her. Glancing at Syd she nodded figuring he wouldn't mind, "Umm..sure. The more the merrier" She added with a shrug. As the three of them got to work, she glanced at Warren at the tree line of the woods. How could she make him understand it was something she had to do alone? Closing her eyes momentarily, she felt him brush past her and her eyes followed him to what had become the food table. Ignoring me again? Hypocrite She thought with a smile.

Warren looked down at the food Rebecca was pointing out to him curiously, "Kebabs...interesting name." He took one off a plate curiously and looked at it before taking a bite. "That's really good..Kris is it?" He held out the hand not holding the kebab, "I'm Warren, pleasure to meet you." His face was friendly and so far he had managed to keep every ounce of his true feeling locked up tight. "What's in the wraps Rebecca?"

Rebecca nodded "He is Kris" she smiled "Er... chicken and peppers" she told Warren "Why?" she asked curiously, she looked Warren full in the face, analyzing his every twitch, movement and flash of emotion carefully.

Warren looked at Rebecca and shrugged, "Just curious. People put weird things in wraps sometimes and I for one don't eat weird things." He gave a light laugh though all his actions seemed a trifle forced. He bit into the kebab again and looked around, "So think they'll make us play hide and seek in the woods? Merlin knows I don't want to 'train' anymore." Now hearing Warren make small talk was about as normal as seeing a camel in Downtown London. Not. He looked at Kris, "So where do you work? I don't think I've seen you around."

Kris grinned, and took a bite of what Becca had made. He grinned as he chewed, as it was delicious.

"Very nice, Becca. I guess you can cook for me in the future."

Kris stuck his hand out to the other gentleman who had approached. He had this air about him that maybe he was in charge, or wanted to be in charge some day. He smiled, and shook his hand as well.

"Glad you enjoy it mate. And yes, I'm Kris. Kristofer Atkins. It's nice to meet you Warren."

He took a bite of his own cooking, and then realized that the other man was making small talk. Stupid stomach, he cursed silently.

"Ahh, I'm in the Wizengamot. And where does your desk lie?"

Warren shook Kris' head with a nod, "It's quite good." He didn't know why he had left off his last name, it didn't matter anymore who is father had been, what he had done.

Wizengamot...hadn't Egypt been in there before she transferred? "I'm an Auror." Surely his scars could have given that away but then again half of them weren't from dueling Dark Wizards. He forced his mind from that train of thought, "How long have you been at the ministry?"

Kris nodded thoughtfully. Auror. That pretty much blew his title away from him, because being an Auror was almost better. But for the sake of Kris being nosey, the Wizengmot was just fine.

He had finished eating his share, and took a drink before speaking again. He placed his hand in his pocket with the thumb out, and leaned back against a tree.

"An Auror is an awesome job, I'm slightly jealous. I haven't been here long, just a little over a year. I came from Germany with my parents and younger siblings."

"No go right ahead," said Syd to Nicoli. He turned back to Alexa as the man got busy helping with the food, "Well, Ms. Black, our first little outing will be forrr... well I'll let you know that it's kind of surveillance deal."

He took a bite out of his sandwich and nodded appreciatively. It wasn't half bad. Syd didn't think the Brits knew the bologna and cheese, but it was pretty good. He wasn't going to even try to remember the incident from his past involving a pub and bologna that was... not right.

Warren watched Kris' reaction and took another bite of his kebab. He looked around and saw a cooler on the other side of the table. Without thinking he held his hand up and the cooler lid opened, with barely a thought he summoned a can of soda toward him. Catching it he set it on the table and closed the lid again. Maybe there's something to what Forrester said after all. That took little to no effort. Maybe his decision was a good one this time, though it would hurt.

Hearing Kris speak he shook his head, "You shouldn't be. I've done this for too long. I've seen a lot of things and let me tell you, staying behind a desk is the safest place for you." His interest peaked when he mentioned Germany, "Where in Germany? I used to work in the German Ministry there for a time. In fact that's where I came from before I came back to England." He stopped his thoughts from going further as to what had led him there.

Kris nodded as Warren spoke to him about being an Auror. Yes, he knew it was a dangerous job, but the adventurous side of Kristofer always took over when it came to things like that. Desk jobs could be boring to Kris, and that was what got him in trouble at times. He only thought of himself and his family, mainly Karma.

Just thinking of his sister made him look off for a moment. He hadn't heard from her in a while. He made a mental note to write a letter to her later.

"Heidelberg, to be exact. Born and raised. Went to the Magic Academy as well. I imagine that's where you went, unless you moved to England in time to go to Hogwarts."

Warren looked at Rebecca with a curious glance and then back at Kris, "No, you misunderstood me. I worked as an Auror for that ministry for a time. I was born and well I suppose you could say raised here in England. You could say I've been doing this for a very long time. I've worked in three different ministries." Of course what had started this mess now being a close kept ministry secret and a personal one as well. Though those who knew who his father had been and what his traitourous minister father had done understood why it was such a secret.

Reaching down toward the wraps he picked one up with a slight smirk at Rebecca, "Chicken and peppers eh?"

Turning his attention back to Kris, finding the young kid curious, he took a bite of the wrap. "So, yes I went to Hogwarts. Was Slytherin Quidditch Captain. Had great prospects and everything until my accident." Which was also another reason he hated his father. "Life does funny things sometimes. Things you would never have dreamed of." How he was being so cavalier about something that still deeply bothered him was anyone's guess and no doubt Alexa would have been surprised by what he just said. After all she knew the whole story behind it.

Rebecca smiled and shrugged when Warren mentioned hide and seek, she almost groaned when he started talking about not training, she would have to make this interesting.

Rebecca tilted her head curiously at Kris, did he just call her Becca? Ah, well, it worked for her, she smiled as Kris started talking, nodding approvingly, Rebecca just listened.

Rebecca listened and then frowned a little, jealous? She'd have to get someone doing something interesting, and soon.

Rebecca smirked at Syd, she loved messing around with the employees, but Syd was the straightforward type, Rebecca didn't say a thing though

Rebecca smiled encouragingly at Warren as he gave her a curious look "Yep" she confirmed about the chicken and pepper "Is it alright?" she asked him with a small grin.

Zoey looked around at everything that was going on while she made a cheese sandwich. "Wow" she said outloud walking away to her tent and closing the door.

Kris nodded his head at the story. Auror for the German Ministry - now that must have been an even harder job to get into, seeing as how stubborn the Germans were. He laughed on this inside at his miniscule joke.

"Three different ministries," he said, crossing his arms now. "That must have been a little, rough. But, traveling could be an interesting aspect of the job as well."

He then shut his mouth to listen to Warrn again, and noticed his look faded when he paused. There was something going through that mind of his, and thanks to his mom's side, he could feel that he was holding something it. No need to pressure it though - Warren was older, and didn't need to tell anyone anything he didn't want to.

Not to mention he could definitely take Kris down if he felt like it. Another mental note to not anger Warren anytime soon.

"My sister is in Ravenclaw," he commented. "In Germany I was in the equivalent of Slytherin house. My dad went to Hogwarts and was in Slytherin, played Quidditch too. That would be interesting if they knew each other, but who knows."

Rebecca watched Kris interestedly and sighed quietly, she wanted to get on with it, she sat on the grass and played with her wand boredly, she closed her eyes and leaned against the plastic table that Syd had set up.

She was beginning to wonder how many chairs they would need when Syd spoke, bringing herself to face him, nodding with mild interest. Surveillance eh? She knew who'd take that all too literally. As Syd took his samwich from Rebecca she followed him to the table and followed suit not that her appetite was anything. Sitting beside Becky, she smiled, "Did I miss something?" She asked, smirking at the man near her. Taking a bite of her roll she smiled, "Mmh.." She mumbled covering her mouth, "What's in this?" She asked, peering down the bread, "Is that peppers?" Alexa looked up at her and smirked, "Interesting" Looking around she noticed Warren across to her left talking to Kris was it? Taking another bite of the roll she choked hearing Warren speak. Life does funny things sometimes. Things you would never have dreamed of Coughing she interjected, "Excuse me?"

Rebecca looked over at Alexa "Well, sorta" she looked up "I made them" she indicated the wrap "It's chicken and pepper" she smiled, then Alexa coughed, Rebecca glanced at her worriedly "For what?" she asked confusedly.

Ella smiled at Zoey's reaction to the whole scenario around her. She decided she also needed time to be alone for a moment, and maybe wait for someone or something to appear. She wished she knew what's happening outside this camp site. But more, to understand what is happening inside, if there's something worth while to learn and understand. Besides, she knows they'll all be asked to group together and discuss the training.
