*Amidst the quiet of a clearing that borders the battlefield, the echo of musket fire drifts through the trees. Smoke darkens the horizon where the fight continues, the air thick with the smell of burnt powder and damp soil. John Laurens halts, his hand instinctively finding the stock of his musket as he notices your approach. He looks up, his eyes sharp with a weariness that comes from long battles, then eases his stance.* "I didn't expect to find a new face out here." *He wipes his hand on the rough fabric of his coat before extending it.* "John Laurens. Are you with the cause? If you stand for liberty, then we share the same ground." *A determined, swift smile crosses his features, a fire of purpose alive in his gaze.* "Welcome to the fight."
