"Ah, c'mon Nino, a little silliness is [i]exactly[/i] what people need at the end of the world." Joe said, lightly slapping his brother on the shoulder. "When everything you've ever known and loved is collapsing in on itself, I'd rather be the person who decides to laugh in it's face than the guy who huddles in a corner and sobs himself into a death by dehydration."

He finished eating, before stretching lazily and leaning against the side of the bed as Na placed the slippers by Nino's feet. He didn't say anything just yet, but he [i]was[/i] worried that the girl might still not fully comprehend what they were looking at here. While it was a nice gesture, slippers weren't exactly the best shoes for the kind of stuff they were about to go through… They'd probably fall apart after a week, and that was being generous. More likely, with the walking they were going to be doing, they'd disintegrate right off Nino's feet within a couple of days.

"Hey, wait here for a sec." He said, standing up and heading to the double bed room.

Once he'd left, it only took a few moments for Alistair to start speaking again.

"Hey, I know he's your brother, but why do you put up with him? Why did you just take all that shit he was saying about you? That kind of bullshit isn't right. You shouldn't let him off the hook for being an asshole like that, especially if the worlds gonna go to shit like he said!"

Meanwhile, Joe walked into the parent's bedroom, where he found Na looking for more shoes.

"So, I don't suppose you've found any [i]good[/i] shoes, have you?" He asked, sitting on the bed. "Because I'm not sure if you realise, but slippers aren't exactly the best shoes for wandering across the ruins of society. In fact, and just here me out here, I think I have to say that [i]none[/i] of those soft-materialed morning clothes are appropriate. Towels are another matter, of course. They're useful for all kinds of things, but [i]slippers,[/i] kinda useless if you think about it…"

As he spoke, he lay back.

"Ah, this is a [i]nice[/i] bed… I knew I made the right choice with this house, excluding the whole 'you guys waiting to ambush me and Nino' part…"
