He felt his cheeks burn, and averted his gaze, instead focusing on the box before him. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude." All the same, he was curious. And she had offered. "Uh, how...?"

"Desert warfare," she explained, waving a hand casually. "I used to be one of those nomads, you know. There are many groups, and we don't wander aimlessly; there are set borders. One crossed into our territory, and we had to fight them."

"Oh," Ollie uttered simply. "You and I aren't too different then." And he lifted up his trouser leg, presenting her with a scar of his own that covered one side of his shin. "Training exercise gone wrong," he shrugged. "They were practicing with explosives, and some bright spark got the figures confused." He didn't mention the fact that he too had been partially at fault for standing too close, or that he'd proceeded to cry like a child in front of his teammates.

Asafeh allowed herself to chuckle, pulling out the seat in front of him. "Not bad. Look at this one." She pointed to a jagged scar on her collarbone. "It happened when I was small. To toughen me up, my mother put a scorpion in my blankets while I slept."

Chi looked on from the kitchen, hoping that Asafeh's blunt charm would interest the Lieutenant. They could use the military connections, after all, her bakery didn't exactly entertain the most smiled upon members of society. A noise behind her drew her attention, "gāo bízi is bad luck! The oven just broke again, Asafeh!"
((bruh she called him "high nosed", a kind of slur for white people. I figured it would work for military officials as well!!))

"Watch your language! Who taught you to speak like that around here, other than me?" Asafeh shouted back. She turned back to the military man, shrugging. "Give me a moment. I have to fix the oven for the third time this week."
((bruh))

Asafeh sighed as she crouched in front of the large oven. The door had broken, letting steamy air heat up the kitchen and making it hard to breathe. "The last time I fixed it, I thought it was for sure! How could it have broken again? Have you been slamming the door like I always tell you not to?"

Ollie had risen, feeling very foolish sat by himself. A little perturbed by their foreign tongue, he hung back, but peered through the doorway at them. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Asafeh kicked the white chalk that she had brought out behind her, praying that she had been fast enough. "No, no. We're alright, thank you very much."

"I have not !" Chi quickly responded. More quietly she asked, "Do we have anything to reinforce the door with? We'll only make it thinner by stretching the metal out to cover any cracks."

"There are some pieces of scrap metal in the back," Asafeh responded quickly in Xingese. "Don't get it yet. Don't get it until he's gone."

"What if we got him to help us?" Chi mused. "He's probably got some brains in him. And he seems like a good guy. I don't pick up any negative aura from him."

"The metal over the oven is already pretty warped," Asafeh pointed out, glancing at Oliver. "What if he gets suspicious? We don't need any police attention here, not at all. A nearby robbery is bad enough. Besides, if we get arrested, who will take care of the kids?"

From outside, the lieutenant cleared his throat. "Uhm, are you sure I can't do anything? I could at least call someone to fix it for you. Consider it compensation for my 'bad luck', if you like."

"Maybe I give trust too freely, but I think you're a little too distrustful," she chided Asafeh. She turned to Ollie, "Sir, maybe you could take a look at this and give us your opinion?"

Asafeh's ears turned scarlet at his comment. She stepped aside, giving Chi a glance before turning to Oliver. "I apologize for the child's comment. Honestly, I don't know where they get language like that. We will try to keep them under better control."

"It doesn't matter," Ollie waved her apology away, shuffling through the door of the kitchen and coming to stop nearby. His pale gaze studied the oven, eyebrows raising slightly at the density of the air. Smoke caught in his throat. His eyes watered somewhat with the struggle to stifle a cough. "It might be easier just to get a new door. That's what I'd be inclined to do."

Chi rocked back on her heels. "Do we have the money for that?"

Asafeh rubbed at her temples, eyes closed. "I doubt it. Last I checked, we were running low with money. If we buy a new door, we may have to kick one of the kids to the curb."
