Dimitri reached up and rubbed his face, exposing for a few seconds as the redness that crept in from under his eyelids. He never acknowledged it, but he always had a feeling that after everything he'd done for the colony that he'd ultimately end up leaving after a wile,be it from an outbreak of infected or hard times, he knew by now that there was no longer such a thing as a permanent safe haven. "Guess that's what I get for deluding myself." Dimitri mused as he considered Cliff's idea. On the one hand, he might not have been seen holding open the door for the group and might've been safe, but on the other, staying was risking starvation for Brutus and himself. Dimitri started to bounce his foot up and down, a nervous habit he'd developed in childhood, and spoke slowly, "Get anything of value you have at your homes. Any nonperishable food, medical stuff, and anything you might be able to use as a weapon Before we leave we can stop by the greenhouse to gather food and herbs, and there's plenty of tools that'd make good weapons. Shovels, pitchforks, sickles, machetes, shit like that. After working there so long I learned the patrol routines and all of the places one can slip in without getting seen. If we're lucky one of the night guards might've gotten lazy and left a weapon unattended seeing as no one but them are aloud inside after dark." he said with uncertainty in his voice.
It wouldn't take very long for Dimitri to pack, after all when he'd arrived all he had to his name was a large rucksack, a rifle and pistol, a fixed blade knife, an all weather blanket, some fire starting tools, and a crowbar. Everything that could be considered a weapon was confiscated, however Dimitri still had his rucksack, blanket, and half a box of waterproof matches. Some of scrounging for a month and a half had given him enough cash and supplies to use to purchase a slightly rusty but sturdy military folding shovel at the market place, though he'd still had to jump through hoops to actually prove that it was for work purposes to avoid arousing suspicion from a few soldiers. "I'm assuming we'll all be together at least until we get outside the wall, so it's fine if we meet back here come sun down. Assuming you guys can whistle do it in the same I used before opening my door, then i'll know it's safe to let you in. The name's Dimitri by the way, Dimitri Santos.".
