[He figured they wouldn't, and I personally hope he keeps them on for trial.]

You're the team leader, that makes ya the boss.
[Anyway]

There's a building in town that seems like it'd have first aid supplies in it, but it's locked. Don't suppose there's anything you can do 'bout that?

[retellers]

[ they shake their head. ]

Swan and I have tried to enter, whether through our powers or by force, but failed.

[laid]

[Well the important thing is he tried.]

Kinda rude of the Realm ta lock that off and then, I can only assume, spirit people away to places where they get badly injured.
[He assumes the Realm did that, anyway.]

[retellers]

If enough nova is gathered, perhaps those places will open? Until then... it is very inconvenient. At least everyone is good at improvising...

[laid]

Yeah, seems no matter where I am, I can't escape the scourge of overly competent teenagers.

[retellers]

Are... "overly competent teenagers" common where you are from?

[laid]

Maybe not "common" but it was what I was stuck with most recently.

[retellers]

Oh. Why? Are there no competent adults?

[laid]

Course not. The only proper adult around is me. All the competent adults're busy.

[retellers]

So you are looking after them?

[laid]

I just told ya I'm not one of the competent adults, Goat.

[He is a terrible babysitter.]
They take care of each other, really. Yuri, Flynn, and Judith are technically adults, anyway.

... I guess Karol, maybe. He's the youngest so I at least try ta keep an eye on him.

[retellers]

I'm sure you can be competent when you try...!

[laid]

[He laughs.]

Thanks fer the vote of confidence, boss, but maybe I don't wanna try?

[retellers]

Why not?

[laid]

Don't ya think that sounds like a lotta work?

[retellers]

Is that a bad thing...?

[laid]

I mean, for some people I guess not. But me, I'd rather have as littler work ta do as possible.
