[b][color=a40c00]"I know you're hungry. We have a schedule to stick to."[/color][/b]

[b][color=13dbed]"No, Gus, you don't understand. I'm really freaking hungry."[/color][/b]

[b][color=a40c00]"Well, you ain't eatin' 'till the group does."[/color][/b]

[b][color=13dbed]"Well, Victor always lets me eat when I wanted to."[/color][/b]

[b][color=a40c00]"Yeah? And your manager's dead isn't he?"[/color][/b]

There were times Gustavo Acosta debated whether or not he should have taken Aveline Donnelly under his wing. Rarely there were times she had made his efforts worth it. But then his memory came back to when he found her starving in that run down building, her manager desperately searching for something to split between the two. There was pity, but he did not want the responsibility of taking care of two more mouths. He could have robbed them but there was doubt they had anything worth of value. Yet, he saw his sister in her eyes. In her entitled and useless eyes.

[b][color=13dbed]"I thought you said traveling in big groups was a bad idea, Gus."[/color][/b]

She was simply teasing Gustavo for changing his mind. Aveline knew how set in his ways the man was, and how hard it was for Gustavo to admit when he was wrong. Were it not for Aveline being so insistent on traveling with this horde of people, the two of them would have continued traveling with just themselves. To her, there were no downsides. So many of these people probably seen her work on television! It was exciting! So many fans! But Gus did not let her talk about her status as the (likely) only living celebrity left in the United States. He says "they don't give two shits whether or not you were on some television show". Which, may she add, was absolutely [i]rude[/i].

[b][color=a40c00]"Yeah, a big group is a bad idea. But there's doctors, builders, useful people in this group. So we stay with them as long as they're useful. And in turn, we make ourselves useful."[/color][/b]

[b][color=13dbed]"Is that why you always make me come along with you?"[/color][/b]

[b][color=a40c00]"Pack mules are useful."[/color][/b]

[b][color=13dbed]"That was [i]rude[/i]."[/color][/b]
