no, not those kinds of flowers. [ It's about now that Will has to consciously avoid thinking about the fact that 'flower' is pretty close to what Fern is, too. That he's probably, theoretically, just as edible as a human is—
The sudden offer is plenty distraction. It's enough to mean Will pauses in replying — he's surprised. ] that would be a huge help. thank you, fern
[ ...But. ] but i don't know if i need food the most, out of everyone here.
cw: cannibalism?? this thread is going weird places
i mean that there's kids here. and people who might not know how to hunt or fish.
[ But, oh, Will doesn't have long to fuss over the morals of favoritism for Fern's help. He understands the intention in this next offer, but he feels the tips of his fingers go cold at it anyway. ]
i'll take what's in your freezer, actually. you can give someone else the vegetables you grow
[Part of him feels bad for typing that, but the reality of everyone starving to death has already taken root in his mind. It's selfish, but if he can at least help the people he knows and likes, that's better than nothing.
Though, maybe offering the vegetables was too much. It was probably too weird, and he regrets bringing it up.]
[ It's a selfishness that's so understandable that Will has to read it twice to catch it in a proper way. Even then...he's too far gone from 'civilized' to argue about it. He gets it and he's going to pretend that staying quiet on it is the same as discouraging Fern. ]
thanks, fern.
is there anything this place is keeping from you? [ Aside from 'happiness' and 'family' and all that, Will means. They've briefly discussed the photosynthesizing issue, but Will wonders if there's some aspect he hasn't considered that's hurting Fern. ]
