this is so tragic he'll never score

[ greg's familiar with that look. he's incapable of taking it personally. only one thing matters, and that's convincing this stoic badass type to let him tag along so that he doesn't die on his first night.

think about it this way, travis... you'll have the height advantage in any situation that requires it. and that's. well. um that's about it.

so even though he can't conceive of it, even though every fiber of his being is screaming against the notion that you just roll with it like being sent to a hellish portal of judgmental rotating islands is on the same level as, like, the bakery being out of your favorite kind of pastry, he nods at the advice. he breaks eye contact by nodding in a frantic downward motion on auto-pilot.

it does still seem like he's about to begin hyperventilating despite the nonverbal agreement. and then an object peeks into his view-- it's the driftwood, which greg takes hold of without thinking as soon as it's handed to him. blinking big, sad eyes, he focuses them back on travis. he shuffles the wood into his oversized arms like he's holding precious groceries or something. something he shouldn't drop, something that means--

let's. yes, oh yes, a camping buddy! the right kind of camping buddy like hello. he visibly brightens.

Absolutely, putting a pin in the processing, although it may weigh on the mind, I'm sure, as live dinosaurs are wont to do, I can-- [ slow dooown. don't be such a freak and a geek around this Cool Guy Named Travis. he's serving crazy cool vibes. did we just call him sir? ] I can control that. I can do that. We will need fire, and you know, perhaps they fear fire?
