[ Why does Royce always get stuck with the talkative ones? He feels like it's a running trend in his life that he always has to travel with someone who just talks to fill the silence.
Royce is a poor conversationalist partner, but that doesn't mean he's not listening. In fact, he actually shows that he's listening when Sam slights his navigation skills by looking over his shoulder at Sam with a scowl. This place has been hell on his senses, so he actually doesn't know where he is, but he hates having it be pointed out.
It's why he doesn't say a word when the light post comes up. He's very content to let Sam run into it, expression vaguely amused and mostly shadowed under his hood.
A beat, and then, in a low, flat voice: ] They'd mix to brown.
three!
