(Cutting back to the Earthrealm forest. Scorpion is setting up a makeshift tent with a few pieces of cloth.
Mileena walks up behind him)
Mileena(awkwardly): What do you think?
(Scorpion turns his head to see her hair is now messily cut short, un-obscuring her face)
Scorpion: Suki desu.
(He turns his attention back to the tent)
Scorpion: You need to rest.
Mileena: But I'm not tired.
Scorpion: There is a big day tomorrow.
Mileena: I do not understand.
Scorpion: Tomorrow, you are to return to Outworld, and I am to return to the Netherrealm. I need a word with my employer.
Mileena: What? Did I do something wrong?
Scorpion: of course not, Mileena.
Mileena: then why must I return.
Scorpion: because it's not safe here if you don't...
Mileena: What?
Scorpion: Outworld is aware of your disappearance. They can, will and have sent Outworld forces to search for you.
Mileena: I-.. I did not know of this-
Scorpion: I know you didn't.
Mileena: I'm sorry I-
Scorpion: Don't apologize. You didn't give the order.
Mileena: But I did cause it..
(Scorpion puts a hand on her shoulder)
Mileena: I understand..
Scorpion: I'll catch some food for you before we have to leave.
Mileena: When will we be going?
Scorpion: Crack of dawn.
Mileena: I see...
Scorpion: I am sorry..
(Mileena sits on the log by the fire)
Scorpion: You really should be getting some rest.
Mileena: I'd rather stay awake for now..
(Scorpion finish's the tent and sits by the fire with mileena)
Scorpion: Why are you so reluctant to return to Outworld? It is your home.
Mileena: I doubt anyone would welcome my return.
Scorpion: Why would you say that?
Mileena: Because it is true. I have only ever had Father and Sister. No one has ever wanted me otherwise.
Scorpion: I find that hard to believe.
Mileena: You are just saying that.
Scorpion: If Shao Kahn did not care, he would not be sending recovery parties to look for you.
(Mileena played with her thumbs, unsure of what to answer)
(Scorpion gets up and sits next to her)
