[It is a credit to Guy's resilience that he can go from angry to nearly the point of tears to taking a deep breath and moving on. Trying to consider what's being said, trying to problem solve.]

[As his brows furrow in thought, he taps his fingers in a little twiddling gesture on his knees.]

I don't need to keep things with me. The card I can just use around the place I live for food. [His expression is confused.] And I don't see why anyone would need to take a phone everywhere.

[It's novel but not necessary. And the idea that it might have a map on it is totally off his radar. That's why he's been climbing buildings to get the lay of the land. He'd memorized the layout of the Capitol over time too.]

[Belt was always the better navigator but Guy used to be a nomad. If you don't have a good sense of direction as a nomad and the ability to navigate a landscape you're in trouble, especially if you have to backtrack to get around difficult terrain.]

So that just leaves finding the...whatever it is I can do. Which will take some time. [He pushes a hand against his hair, pressing his bangs out of his eyes. They fall back in place even messier.] Some of the things I learned apply here. Like they also have the - the videos and screens. And phones are like comms.

But it's like I have to completely start over in learning how things work. [He shrugs one shoulder.] So I guess that's step one.

[It's going to be a rough adjustment period. Again.]

[He looks up at Jason, eyes soft, expression grateful.]

Thank you, by the way.
