Gotta stop running off like that.

~~Or just stay gone.~~

That might help.

Happy to see me, Ms Guthrie?

Ecstatic.

I somehow sense that may not be entirely true. Call it a hunch.

Are you acting on your brother's behalf?

Course not. My brother likes ya.

~~I don't.~~

Paige...

It's very difficult to hide things from me, especially feelings. Understand that Sam follows me of his own free will, and he spends a vast amount of his time missing his family...

Thanks for that brilliant insight.

Just. Don't let him get hurt.

Sam would never, ever be hurt as a result of my actions. That much I can promise you.

I'm keepin' ya ta that promise, Cable.

Could at least tell us where you're goin'.

That's ruin the surprise, Sam.

I'll take you with me next time. I could have used the company.

Take the whole team next time, boss. They been givin' me nine kinds a hell.

This was something I had to do for myself. Have you been keeping them busy? Training, exercising...I trust you with their wellbeing, Sam. A soft bed doesn't mean vacation

I been keepin' em on their toes. Not that they like me much for it, but I guess that don't matter.

Good, I know I could count on you.

You bet. Can't let 'em get outta practice. I'm pretty sure they'd rather have me on their asses than you, anyhow.

Where have you be running to, Nathan?

Taking care of a few personal matters, Jean. I'll be returning tonight, it seems the eldest Guthrie two are somewhat upset with me.

I can certainly relate. Hopefully smoothing things over with them won't be too difficult.

Mmm, I hope so. Even away from the Mansion, life is never simple, is it?

Life is rarely ever simple, a person's location notwithstanding.
