Kinner's never met Forrest, but Cricket's mentioned him. "I'd be happy to bring him along. It's been a long time since I went fishing with anyone, and I think it'd remind me of home, by the river. Where the water wasn't frozen."
Kinner can't wait until the spring comes. The weather's exhausting him, and it's bringing out the ugliness in people. He can't blame everyone. It's a tense situation and resources are growing scarcer and scarcer. Hopefully it'll clean up soon, he think.
"Thanks, Cricket. I've got your back, too - you can count on that. If you ever need help, don't be afraid to call on me."
When the cook hears Cricket's explanation, he bows his head slightly. Kinner's all too familiar with Spanish flu, although not for the same reasons. He knows the horror stories associated with the illness.
"Spanish flu. Yeah... that was after the war. I didn't get it, I got lucky, but some folks in my old unit did. Died of it, too. Was it connected to the epidemic around the same time as the Great War?"
