[ hysterically, just the immediate answer and no follow up seems to work for him. there's a brief moment he's watching her, like he's trying to figure something out, but it's followed by a slow nod.
that's it. he believes her when she says it, and he accepts it for what it is. ]
Okay. [ okay? literally all of that and for what. he seems to realize this may seem like it was just...a weird tangent though, so he sighs. ] It's been a long couple of days.

Yeah. Long couple of days.
[ except. time feels like it's moving fast. each new day is jarring and too-soon. she keeps saying that it feels like they have so much time - after the tightly compacted chaos of rushing off the island by morning, having days to form their team sounds like so much. and it is so much.

...come on. We should go find where we want to crash tonight. Kind of doubt we'll get much else done today.
