Hello to you too. [ smart-alecky, then down to business: ] Most of 'em are okay. Carlos, Clementine, Wade, 'n Travis are the only ones I know, but I can vouch for them all. Whatever my word's worth.

[ a beat ] Wade's the kinda dude who could kick your ass without blinkin', but he's a good guy. Wouldn't ever hurt a little girl. Clem's as dependable as they come. An' I'll do whatever I can to watch Ellie's back.

[ jesse can infer why joel is calling and what he probably wants to hear, yes. ]

[ Under other circumstances, Joel would scoff at the notion of someone being able to kick his ass - not out of ego, but simple statistics. But in Haven, he knows enough to know there are definitely people here who could snap him in half without breaking a sweat. He knows better than to suggest otherwise. ]

Clem. [ That name, more than anything, gets a sigh of relief from him. If Clem is there, and safe enough, then Ellie will probably be okay. As okay as she can get, away from him, anyway. ] Good. That's... Good.

[blowfish]

Anythin' else?

[ That response makes him feel like he more or less covered it in one shot. Nailed it, that's just his style. But the floor's wide open, Joel. ]

[aintyourdad]

Nope, that's about it. Appreciate the information.

[ BYE JESSE. Oh, wait, also - ]

...Drop by for dinner sometime.

[blowfish]

Yeah, okay-- [ BYE JOEL wait what ] ...

Uh? [ Give him a second to clean the gunk outta his ears. He heard that right? He adds to it like he's finagling his way through an interpretation that makes sense: ] Oh, with Ellie?

[aintyourdad]

Yeah.

[ Mostly because Joel assumes Ellie will be eating dinner in block 29 every night anyway. ]
