The main possibility at the time though was that he was telling the truth, and he was a somewhat normal person in terms of desire to live. It could also mean he was lying, but that was highly unlikely when it came to this issue. Once Malcolm finished speaking, Alex spoke again. [color=cyan]"If they made you the leader it was for a reason. Those who are chosen are always far better than those who force it upon others. That is how I see things in regards to leadership. I do think that doubting the decision makes things worse. The person doubts their decisions and therefore end up second guessing themselves more than they ought to which results in bad decisions. Also, yes, Nikki doesn't trust you, but I must say neither do I. Even before everything happened with the dead I had trouble trusting people. However, I think Nikki will be alright with you coming along as I was already going to push the thought. I need to keep my eyes on you, and we need someone to guide us to your basecamp. To the possibility of merging our groups, that is not my decision. I will end up speaking to each of your people separately to get an opinion on them though. Now, I would like to know about these 'brutes'. Do you have any idea of how many there were? Also, how many of your people were there before you got separated?"[/color] Alex needed to get an idea of these two groups he hadn't met yet when he suddenly thought of something else, [color=cyan]"You said you trusted the brutes. What did they say to you?"[/color] [@Belle]
