Dex shot Sofia a look when she mentioned about him paying the woman a compliment, knowing that while the statement was true he disliked it when she called him out on it. He also couldn't help but notice that there was some underlying jealousy in her words, something that both of them strove to avoid getting in the way of their relationship. Nevertheless, Dex ignored the jab and continued to listen to what she had to say about their new comrades. He never wanted Sofia to feel threatened by another woman, he had devoted his whole life to her and would stop at nothing to let any single person get in his way of that. Just thinking about someone trying to create a rift between the two caused Dex's grip to tighten around a handful of leaves he held in his palm. He let out a sigh, releasing the fragments of dried leaves and watched as they turned to smoldering embers once they met the flames.<br/><br/>"She is a good asset, one that we will see coming if they try to double cross us. Now Lorenzo, he is the one that I would be more worried about..." Dex trails off, looking into the distance to eye the other pair setting up their own camp for the night. "But like you said, we won't get anywhere in this new world if we don't try and let others help.." Dex's demeanor softened, knowing that there was always something that they had to keep a look out for, and human's were never the most trustworthy, but they had to at least take the chance. Her future depended on it and Dex wouldn't let their lives waste away because they never took a chance.<br/><br/>"Just remember what I told you, listen less to what they are saying and more to the things that they aren't saying." Dex reminded her, rising to his feet and dusting off his hands after determining that the fire was steady. He watched his lover as she carefully and skillfully went to work on preparing the animal. He always admired her ability to show great care when it came to such mundane tasks, something he tried to instill in himself and replicate which was never easy.<br/><br/>"We'll give it more thought later, for now lets just rest and enjoy our time alone for the rest of the night." Dex's tone offering some reassurance to this otherwise new territory that they were both in. He wanted to ensure that Sofia trusted their decision and it was the right choice while also making sure that their bond was unbreakable. "I'll get us a few more pieces of wood to burn for the night, then we can settle in. Alright?" He searched for her gaze while she worked, awaiting for her affirmation before disappearing to find some more kindling.
