"Is that all you can think about? Hunting?" she says mockingly.
He just gives her a deadpan look, "Ain't much else worth thinking about here, what get involved in the politics? No thanks I'm good, y'all put to much weight on that stuff."
She raises an eyebrow, "And then what should be putting our 'weight' on then?"
He shrugs, "Don't know, not a politician or a philosopher, maybe try living a life instead of seething at every biped that you don't know?"
Her face puckers up in agitation and you just hold up a hand, "You know Andrew it's pretty easy for you to say when you do the bare minimum to get by while everyone else is bleeding."
He looks away for a bit, "Look Ford, it's not that I don't appreciate what you and sis are doing, what everyone has been doing, I just... I just don't know." he scratches his head, "I just want to enjoy what I've got while I've got it is all and it feels like the way everyone talks we won't have it for very long. So why bother?"
You shake your head, "That's self-defeating."
He shrugs, "Maybe." is all he replies with.
You grip the bridge of your nose, he was always a hard one to breakthrough to with this kind of stuff, you opt to drop the topic for the time being and turn back to Elizabeth, "Got any suggestions on what we could do to expedite matters?" you were still partially in charge of logistics.
She shakes her head, "Not really, I guess maybe scout the place out in advance of the exodus? I mean this divide place is supposed to be really dangerous right? No guarantee we'll get a guide or the guide we do get will be any good so might as well try to get familiar with it despite the risk, hell could even save us time if we think it's trash while doing that right? Then we can just go around it."
A rather reasonable suggestion, you ponder for a moment if there was anything else you wanted to talk about with either of them.
>Talk about Mom and Dad, everyone needs to destress a bit here perhaps we can come up with something together?
>Let them know in advance you'll be having a training exercise down the line, get their input on what they think needs work.
>Leave it be, you've got to prepare for that strategy meeting you're going to call.
>Write in.
