<span style="font-family:Fredericka the Great"><span style="font-size: 15px">Jesus had spoken to Rick early that morning while everyone else was still asleep. They had had a long talk and in the end, he had decided to stay behind and remain at the Kingdom with Daryl and Morgan. The plan was for him and Daryl to keep trying to change Ezekiel's mind. He was sure that the more they discussed it with the King, the better their chances were of getting the Kingdom to understand they needed each other, and the better their chances were of getting help from them to take on the Saviors.  <br/>
<br/>
It wasn't going to be easy, he knew that. But nothing worth having in life, was ever easy. After his long discussion with Rick, it was followed up with an even longer one with Ezekiel, and then he had gone out to say goodbye to Rick and the others. As the gate closed and Rick and most of his people left, he sighed softly and turned to Daryl, who looked both pissed off at being left behind, and hurt. "Daryl, can we talk?" He asked and then walked over to the other man. <br/>
<br/>
"There's a few things I think that we should discuss." After Jesus spoke, he motioned for the other man to follow him and then turned and started walking to the room he stayed in when he remained at the Kingdom for longer than a day. Once they were alone, he motioned for Daryl to have a seat wherever he wanted. There was a table and chairs, a bed, and a couch to sit on in his room. He dropped down into one of the chairs at the table. "We can't push Ezekiel to do what we want."<br/>
<br/>
"We have to make him understand how important it is that the Saviors be taken out. We have to make him understand that it's not only our people at risk, but also everyone here at the Kingdom, if we don't all band together and become allies to take down the threat. The King is cautious, but not stupid. His fear of losing more of his people is what's stopping him from helping. Maybe if we talk to the residents of the Kingdom and we get their agreement to help, it would change his mind."</span></span>
