hello
i thought i'd check to see if you're alright
it's been a busy day, hasn't it?

[ dutch doesn't want to care for people here, khlyen's voice still ringing in her ears that friendship, that caring makes her weak, vulnerable. the loss of the quad hurts, and maybe without the years with johnny, years of knowing that friendship can make her stronger, too, she would take that as proof that khlyen was right.
he wasn't, but that doesn't mean dutch is going to open herself up to people immediately. and yet, sometimes it's difficult not to, when they're the ones taking the first steps. ]
busy's one word for it, yeah
i'm all right. you?
[ she doesn't know him well, but he'd seemed — sweet, well-meaning, if a bit clueless. ]
how did you like your first drop from orbit?

i hope it's never usually that exciting

i'm doing well, so far
i was gathering water from the nearby streams
have you ever in your life seen red lilypads?

[ but in dutch's experience? shit goes wrong. so this kind of excitement is definitely not that unusual. ]

some say the pads filter the water.
would it be terrible to say, that i'm tempted to try
what the unfiltered water would taste like.
[ random thoughts, if only to keep his mind busy. ]
we hunted earlier.
[ He doesn't answer the question. Edmund gave away his hunts to those with culinary skills, for them to do as they see fit. he was force-fed earlier by a few persistent lady named claire, but otherwise.. ]

i'd be inclined to believe them then

a nerd's a very clever person
most of the time they also know they're clever and often that makes them insufferable
but definitely clever
depends
you any good?

i believe the term familiar to me regarding
that sort of person is a 'square'.
and
i'm decent.
[ he if were an emoji type of person, he'd have added a smiley face here. he's got a good shot, is what he's saying, but mostly with a bow and arrow. ]

i've a preference for a bow and arrow
most especially crossbows.
unfortunately, i did not have the luck
of having one with me.
had to create a makeshift bow instead.
i have only little knowledge of how guns work.

enough.
i gave the excess to those who did not know how to hunt.
[ He's not really one for bragging, but he's decent. He once beat his sister, the best marksman in Narnia, in an archery match — and of course, the battles they've fought there. Nothing makes a warrior better than experience. ]
