Spy Trio [complete]

[Ma Shikang]

After being shoved from the fist, he took no personal heart to it and gave a side-smirk. "I am sure you're just saying that to hide the fact that you're the infiltrator," of course he didn't actually suspect Xiao as a spy of the sorts. It didn't piece together but no one could really confirm it because to be a spy one had to be a smooth and devious actor. He detected none of that. "Yeah, team work," he echoed out loud .. noticing that he too was communicating with Xiao.

[Wu Xiaoszi]

A somewhat exaggerated expression graced Xiao's face at hearing Xue's words. He looked from the shorter boy to Shikang, look growing even more appalled. "No way, Squirt," he said, in all grave seriousness. He turned back to Xue and reached out both hands, shoveling the other soldier's hair into an unidentifiable mess. "Don't jump to conclusions, pipsqueak! It'll getcha in trouble!"

[Zhong Xue]

Xue meant to squeak in terror, but he found, to his own surprise as much as anyone else's, that he laughed as he attempted to dodge the impending headlock. "Fine, fine! You're not talking!" He attempted to straighten his hair, flushing slightly. "We should take the tent down, huh?"

[Ma Shikang]

Shikang's stare was directed around the camp site, noticing little movement. Today everyone wasn't out and about doing what they normally did. No training, either. Was an order given to actually pull down the tents? He didn't answer, thinking.

[Wu Xiaoszi]

"Well, 'bout that...the generals were supposed to tell us whether to pack today or tomorrow, 'cause they still weren't sure 'bout the exact date we were gonna move, but there hasn't been word from them. I just came back from checkin' out the central area, and the guys there told me somethin' had happened. They said they captured some important bigshot from Japan or somethin', but then again, might be 'just rumors'," Xiao explained. He looked over his shoulder as he spoke, obviously still curious.

[Zhong Xue]

"Captured?" Xue spit out, his eyes widening. "Who's captured? Like... a politician or something? They're not going to execute him, are they?"

[Ma Shikang]

Shikang heard that rumor too but he didn't mention it first. If he did that it might make him look nosy. When Xiao looked back over his shoulder, his eyes lifted and he stared blankly. "They haven't confirmed the identity, apparently. It would be too risky to execute just anyone, if they are a politician keeping them alive might be of help," his eyes soon landed on Xue. If the two of them stood together it would be much easier, but with their height differences he had to look down.

[Wu Xiaoszi]

Xiao was still distracted. "I dunno, I kinda wanna see for myself..."

[Zhong Xue]

"Maybe we can... I don't know... head over there, just to see if we can see anything?" Xue suggested mildly. When his two companions turned to him simultaenously, he turned redder. "Just to look, that's all!"

[Ma Shikang]

"We could try. Worse possible out come is death," he mentioned quietly. Curiosity had to be one of man's best friend considering it persuaded almost everyone to attempt dangerous things.

[Wu Xiaoszi]

Xiao blinked, eyes wide, turning to look at each of his teammates in turn. "......Who...who are you and what have you done with Xue and Shikang? Are you guys serious?"

[Zhong Xue]

"Don't you want to, Xiao?" Xue's look was surprisingly innocent.

[Ma Shikang]

"Anything can be accomplished if we just worked together. It could be a test to see if we have what it takes to be in this army," his face remained serious.

[Wu Xiaoszi]

Xiao was obviously still unbelieving. "I wanna, sure...and I guess we could pull it off, if we really tried. But if you guys are just conspirin' to leave me there to get in trouble, I warn ya, I'll getcha back!"

[Zhong Xue]

"Conspire?" Xue echoed, tilting his head in confusion. "Why would I do that?" He frowned thoughtfully. "Hmmm... we should go by General Sze's tent first? He does pretty much know everything that goes on around here."
