Forgive his terrible metaphors XD

[Heat doesn't bother him. A Georgia summer is somethin' he grew up experiencing from the ground up. This place is a bit hotter, but not so much he can't stand it easy enough. And for the most part, he's only been listenin' to the others and observing as he is often wont to do. After all, he's been following Jim so long he tends to just go where the blonde drags him.

But this mission is, well, for the birds. Literally if one follows his train of thought.]

Greedy bastards probably wouldn't be happy with just that. But I guess it's worth the attempt. Back home when we wanted to keep crows out of the garden you tried one of two things. Put up a scarecrow, bein' one. Problem was, damn birds were too smart for that. Soon just used it for a perch cause they knew it wouldn't harm 'em none.

[He turned his head to look at the woman and smiled a little. Not much. He's too unhappy with the situation at hand to really be that at ease. But he finds her presence pleasant enough and her head strong attitude faintly akin to Jim's. It made her easier to navigate in a way.]

Other thing was tyin' these pans up in a tree away from the garden. Those birds loved shiny things, too. Kept them distracted from the real goal. Bit of smoke and mirrors I guess. Give them something else to look at to keep their attention off the real goal. Too bad we don't have somethin' that distractin'. Probably could've even made them more docile.

ALWAYS

[ she nods along, following him as his train of thought zigs and zags by the end of it, she lets out a light laugh. he's musing, if a tad pessimistic. it's an interesting team assembled here, certainly. ]

I've been known to improvise, Dr. McCoy. [ her mouth quirks into a smile — well, a smirk. #tbt get in the garbage chute, flyboys. ] But [ tilting her head. ] perhaps we should wait to observe the Trilks before we consider tricking them.

[ cart before horse, etc. ]

Sounds like a guy I know that's also in charge. [He has to smile about that. If only because he can see that similarity. And he likes her way of dealing with the situation. It seems like she's in her element. Something he's not that good at all the time. He just always assumes he is best backing up the one in charge.

Why not? Every leader needs people to support them, right?]

Well, if you let them have the items, is it really a trick? More just slight of hand I s'pose. But you do have a point there.
