Brian pauses for a moment, thinking about the question. Finally, he says, "Ran away from home at 19 to enlist in the RAF, served for around 5 years. Most of it was in the Middle East. Got tired of deploying so often, so I quit and re-enlisted under the reserves. Then all this stuff happened aaannd.. here I am." He finishes with a sigh, as they reach the fencing around the backyard of the first house. "After you." He says, kneeling down and cupping is hands, giving Ardal a boost over the fence. Moments later, Ardal opens the gate and they both proceed inside.
