Yes. And especially with everyone else here. If we all work together, there shouldn't be too much cause for worry.

[As cheerful as Ion is being, of course he isn't fully sold on it, himself. Anything could happen, as they walk. And there was no telling how dangerous. But if he wasn't going to stay positive, who was?]

We're probably going to be walking for a while, in any case. Maybe we should find something to talk about?

[Visual games were out, anyway.]
