Suzy froze for a moment, suddenly unsure how to answer.
On the screen, Thomas had already lifted his gaze, looking at her through the camera.
Her lips parted slightly.
Before she could say anything, he had already moved past the question.
"By the way, I heard you're heading out to look for supplies soon?"
The words she had been about to say slipped back down her throat.
She nodded. "Yeah. Did my uncle tell you?"
He gave a quiet "Mm," then continued, "Can I go with you?"
"You can, but… will your body be able to handle it?" Suzy asked.
Having him along wasn't a bad thing. With his mercenary background, he was more than capable—there was no way he'd be a liability.
Still, his presence would make using the storage less convenient. She and Leonard would have to be careful around him.
But on the other hand… having him there would make it easier to grow closer.
Suzy hesitated, not rejecting him outright.
