Luke stared at the other boy icily, his hand shaking slightly as he restrained himself. “Your rashness and lack of control is what’s going to get people killed. It already has once. You don’t think before you act. You just go off with good intentions without thinking anything through.” He pushed the hand off his shoulder. “Touch me again and I will break your hand.” He shook his head angrily. This kid was a hazard to the group, and he was causing Luke to be one as well with all the conflict they were causing. Some people just didn’t get along, that was just a thing he accepted.

But how could this work when he couldn’t trust him? He just couldn’t get over how reckless he was, back at the camp, at the house now. His first response is to jump in and be a hero, but you can’t save everyone. That was something he was going to have to learn real fast. His mind then turned to if the pair ever did get into a physical confrontation and he wasn't sure who would come out on top honestly. They were fairly matched physically at least. He was such a quiet kid it was easy to think that he would be easy to take down, but at the same time his rashness made him unpredictable and he had seen how quickly he had jumped up before. He was certainly not above killing, something Luke himself was not so sure how he'd react in a similar situation.

“You should be nicer to him.” Ash said softly, looking up at Luke. The tiny voice had caught him a bit off guard and he looked down at her uncertainly. “He didn’t do it on purpose… and you don’t know what people have been through. Katelyn is right; if we keep fighting it will just get someone hurt.” Luke smiled at the little girl and placed a hand on her head, ruffling hr hair gently. Typical that the ten year old was acting more mature than all the adults. Ash smiled and shrugged slightly. “If you want her to like you; you should probably listen to her, show her you’re the bigger man.”

Luke winced slightly at this remark. “Is it… is it really that obvious hu?”

Ash simply smiled and shrugged. “To me anyway. I don’t think you were really angry that Autumn left me alone, more that he interrupted your alone time with her.”

Luke shook his head and laughed softly. “Well uh… how’s about we keep that little secret just between us okay?” Ash looked at him and nodded silently, making a motion of zipping her lips before she munched on the redvine given to her before offering the other to Luke, which he also took and ate without a word.
