209 Warm Up

Kairos stared at Nyoka's smile for a few moments.

"You call the city a dipshit cage? Though, I guess if your house is like this, then it probably doesn't take much to get better than this. Or am I wrong in assuming that the city is better than this place?"

Surprisingly, Jeff wasn't set off by that comment. Instead, he just shook his head.

"It's more complicated than that."

Sara sat down and hugged her knees, looking to the side. She decided not to take part in this conversation. It was at this point that Nyoka decided to clear things up.

"To put it simply, as shabby as this place looks, that's all it needs to be. Creating some sort of impenetrable fortress is just an extreme waste of resources considering how unpredictable things are, and how often you'd need to ditch it all and run. The only real purpose it has now is to serve as a landmark to know we came back to the right place."

Kairos narrowed his eyes slightly.
