</div>"Is that your idea of a date, Jeb Wilson? Runnin' around the woods and haulin' animal carcasses back?" her tone and smile were wry with jest before they looked away from him and back to the surroundings of small town neighborhood houses. "Shit, if I'm married to this place I got the raw end because it's ten times the trouble and none of the hot stuff," she chuckled. She hadn't really wanted the job, and since Boss Hogg had been run out of town it was supposed to be a council running the place, but as the year wore on, they had lost two to natural causes; older folks; and the other four weren't as outgoing as she was and had taken up a comfy place behind the scenes while she'd gotten slowly pushed to the front lines. Everyone still voted like they always had, but it'd ended up being her who managed things on the day-to-day and talked with their trade partners.<br/><br/>Her mental gears switched as she watched the exchange between Jeb and Josh. She hadn't expected him to want to stick around either. Well, maybe it wasn't that much of a surprise; him and the new guy were stuck like burrs on flannel. But, it was bad timing. She cleared her throat before Jeb had taken off too far.<br/><br/>"Hey Josh, it's cool you want help, but this meeting might be a little..." she wrestled to find an adequate word, "...stressful. Might take a bit of time too, so we won't be workin' on any arrangements 'til later. Supper is still on, though, so maybe you could head out with Jeb to make sure he actually gets somethin'?" She hoped he'd take her sentiments for what they were, just a sensible approach to an uncertain situation. The girl might be just fine by now, but, then again, she might spook with more new people being thrown at her.<br/><br/>"Watch his back, too. All this recent commotion may have stirred up more dead," she added with a note of true concern. Exiles and search parties were a lot more activity than the area usually saw and that could draw the dead in. "You both watch each other, ok. Wanna see ya both healthy and hungry come supper time."<br/><br/><div class="bbm_float fright" style="float:right;margin:0 0 5px 10px">

</div>Kennedy was perfectly pleased to have Josh join them until Bec brought up a valid point he hadn't really thought of in his glib excitement while chatting away. Sou had gone through a lot according to Bec and Carla and the situation needed to be approached with thoughtfulness and consideration. He looked over to Josh with an apologetic sigh, not wanting to part. "She's right, it might not be the easiest of meetings," he conceded, "but fingers crossed that everything goes well and more fingers crossed that you quickly find and bag the tastiest of morsels. I'll be here w...."<i>waiting</i>. Oh no, he stopped that from coming out of his mouth in just the nick of time, "...when you get back."
