Re: Dream Log: Jude/Clem
Family is everything. [Jude murmured, and it would have been a recitation of what he was taught, if it wasn't said with sincerity. True, sometimes he had to repeat it to himself a little harder than usual, when his siblings were trying his patience or there was bickering going on. The truth was the Murphys liked to think themselves tough and confident, but they were all emotional and as easy to manipulate as they were prone to manipulation. His father taught him that, and instructed him to look out for them, by any means necessary.]
If I sent myself, I'd be gobbled up within ten minutes, and I'd rather get you out and settled here in Gatsby. [He was realistic about his limitations. He could pick up an arsenal and walk in there and still have very little ability to fight anything. Jude wore suits and his tongue and his pen were his weapons of choice. Especially if that pen was writing a check.] I will find you.
[The dream changed all of a sudden and Jude was focused on the zombies coming at them, so he was not ultimately prepared for when he swung around to see their father. Like Clem, his immediate reaction was to apologize.] I'm sorry, father. I know I was supposed to look out for them. [Jude was supposed to be the diplomat between everyone, keep them in line, keep them sane. Or at least that was the job he thought he was there for. Instead he lost his temper and let his ego get away with him.
The zombies were close and he jerked Clem out of the way of them, pushing her toward their father.] Go with him, I don't care if this is a dream, I'm not letting you get eaten.
