There's nothing in Bobo that has him wanting to take chances with the south village during all of this. It's gone to madness, not that he's surprised with everything that's been going in this place, but he's not risking the life he's been gaining in this place because he doesn't know who to trust. That paranoia that has led him most of his life is still there, it just involves a larger group of people.

So he sends messages to Karen, Bull, Foggy, Rinoa, and a few others, asking for them to check in, let him know where they are and if they're okay, and then he starts securing his area.

Working on the barn first, hating the idea of the animals possibly ending up dead, but hoping they'll be safe. Then the house. Vasquez and the other help, securing the windows, and all doors, setting up the weapons they have, and those they've taken from the kitchen in the northern inn, and with the foods they've been stockpiling anyway in Bobo's smokehouse experimentation, he thinks they might do well. For a while.

"I will not do that Bobo." Bull gives the hand a firm squeeze. I was offered my whole life back if I just betrayed those I was with and I didn't. I would never betray you." Bull's honest, but he isn't hurt or angry that Bobo said it. He knows the feeling of being betrayed and heck, he was the one who did that plenty, it was part of his job. But not any more. Now it was to be here, with Bobo.

"I can handle you lashing out. I understand feeling that way. I... yeah. Fuck. I can't promise to not get hurt or angry. But that doesn't mean I will love you any less."

"Bull, I know that. Logically, I know that you are a better man than most I've known," he murmurs, his voice soft, tender even though it's not common for him.

"I've never asked anyone to be patient with me, and I feel like an idiot asking now, but..." He leans in, kissing Bull tenderly and then resting his brow against Bull's. "Don't let me push you away. Again, I know I sound like an idiot." Because he's not used to being open or asking for help. None of it, but he truly doesn't want to fuck this up.

"I nearly demanded you not leave earlier, positive they would turn on you."

Bull smiles slightly into the kiss, reaching up and stroking Bobo's cheek. "You have to try harder to get rid of me." He kisses again. "I could see that. Thank you for not asking me to stay. It's... important to me that I help. It is what I can do around here to help."
