[ He's quiet when Mafuyu talks. It's the first time he's heard of her parents and he can't help but feel responsible in a way. Ever since Jill had found Mafuyu in New York he'd pushed the latter into surviving rather than focus on anything else. Chris knows he'd bossed Mafuyu around some, maybe even numerous times, but he'd raised Claire the same way when growing up. With efficiency coming first while comfort almost fell by the wayside. ]
There's no harm in going to California, at least to check. [ Unsure of what to say—an apology perhaps, or a thanks for being honest—Chris keeps quiet instead. Opting to nod solemnly before shooting Mafuyu a thin smile. ] And while I can't guarantee it'll be our first stop, I've got no problems searching for your parents before we leave for Canada.
[ It's the best he can promise at the moment, as Chris is uncertain where they'll both be when (or if) they reach California, but if he were in Mafuyu's position sitting around idly would never cross his mind. Though the realization only serves to make the gap between them much larger—for now, Mafuyu was dependent on him to get her there. ]
Rest up. Starting tomorrow we'll walk around the camp a few times to get a lay of the land. [ Mostly for Mafuyu's benefit and to get her used to their general area. There were some infected around, but they either wandered in groups or were gunned down en masse by their camp or surrounding settlements. And with the current season, the only real danger at the moment was avoiding the spores if anything. Still, while there was no need to tell Mafuyu to keep their plans under wraps, he keeps his sights locked onto her's before continuing. ] Speak in Japanese if you can and pack your things when the lights are out. We'll leave the next time it rains.
