Imagining anything thriving here sounds impossible…
[ His voice is quiet, but it doesn't sound like he's knocking the idea. Survival is one thing — it's the thing, even — but that Edward even has hope they might find ways to thrive… It's speaks to him of humanity as a whole. How even in the worst of circumstances, they'll persevere and continue fighting forward, building lives, finding happiness. Doesn't seem to matter where they're from, when they're from. ]
Oh— I'll absolutely stay away from mushrooms, you can be sure of that.
[ There's a soft laugh, but he appreciates the advice more than he might show. Especially that last point — giving people chances isn't something he's great at, and Edward can't know that. Which means, in Maccready's mind at least, he must just be the sort of man who sees the good in people. ]
Thanks, though. I uh… I'll do my best, and hope that I don't need to see the doctor any time soon, [ a wry smile, his way of saying he'll try not to do anything stupid. He spares a glance around the hall, at the people who are still here. ] You… really care about these people, don't you?
