And Chris had more life experience than most would expect, courtesy of entirely too many things. Who would've thought the things he'd seen, not to mention the training his father had put him through, would ever actually serve him well?

"Please, call me Chris," he said. "And at this point in my life, I just enjoy somewhere decent to sleep and enough food to eat. And something approximating a roof over my head. Anything beyond that? Is pretty much just a bonus. Because I've seen enough in life to really just need the simple comforts." After losing his wife, and especially after losing Allison, he hadn't dared to enjoy much more than the simple things in life. Until France, until his efforts to help whoever he could, he hadn't dared for much, actually. Because he hadn't wanted to have something only to lose it. He'd had enough loss

He quirked a smile. "Though if I have to add anything else, the attention of a beautiful woman is always appreciated." Because really, few people were going to not enjoy that. Well, okay, a certain subset of the world population as a whole, but the island population was likely to enjoy it. Really, the island had something for everyone. He actually wondered if that was intentional. He made a mental note to ask Arva that. Or one of the others, if he ever had the opportunity. Because while he wasn't going to appeal specifically to them -- he was pretty sure they had more important things to deal with on the day to day -- he certainly wouldn't pass up the chance to ask if it ever came up.

He was curious by nature, after all. As much as he tried to hide that, it was the truth.
