[She shifts her weight and kicks her toes at the floor, still closed off. It takes her a little bit to answer.]
No. I mean... I'm scared, too. It's not a -- good idea.
[But it's an idea, and a way for her to help. She wants to be able to have more days like this, where they can cook, play around, and nap whenever they feel like it. She got to laze around with him today, and it was fun. If they don't get the other hotel roomies out, they don't get to have that. If Teo runs into trouble, they don't have that. If Ryder gets caught, they don't have that.
She sighs and runs her hand through her bangs, pulling them down over her eyes. Ughh.]
Well... Um. [Hm!!] What -- about if you play the survivor? You know how far ahead you need to be, and what -- will get their attention... You don't have -- trouble walking through them, so when you stop, they'll -- just let you go... Right? You can go back to shepherding...
[Except her eyes lock to his sleeve, where she knows the bite to be. He'd had a scare already, and even if it wouldn't have killed him, it put him back to where he was when he died. That's not fair to him.]
I just -- don't know what I can do to keep you safe. Especially with what we have.

We need fireworks.
