He sat that way while they all talked, taking in Jack's words and relaxing as some guilt left him. Then he felt hope bloom again in him as Chrissa returned and Tristyn showed up. They could do this. They could survive, build their home and stop<em>him</em>.<br/><br/>As he listened, he thought about each member and what he knew of them so far. Not<em>knew</em>, from his sight, but what he simply learned from how they spoke and talked. The better he understood them, the better chance he'd have of shaping the branching points to go how he wanted. How the all<em>needed</em>. Jack would be their greatest strength, confident, knowledgeable and strong, but his moral compass could lead them to take risks that they didn't actually need to take. Billy was a strong leader, but he was prideful and would probably take to their hard life the worst. Elizabeth, well, she and Madelyn would be<em>his</em>greatest strength if nothing else. Though he imagined Elizabeth would be<em>everyone's</em>strength, but it would also mean she could easily end up in the most danger. Chrissa and Tristyn, along with Madelyn, would simply<em>useful</em>. They would need them as teachers Michael wasn't so sure how they would fare without.<br/><br/>Letting out a soft sigh, he looked to Elizabeth as she began speaking and smiled. "You're not Piggy, but you're right about the rest," he said simply, then looked to the group.<strong>"It's not time to leave, Jack, but we should get Elizabeth's car with your bike and Chrissa's truck. Billy, we're going to Jack's. He's right about the defensible position and...there are too many branches. I don't know if we'll need to be safe so it can't hurt. Tristyn, I hope you'll come with us. We need you. Let's get the logistics of the ride down. We have two vehicles and, I think, nine people."</strong>
