( wow, if "what's the root cause for catholic guilt today" were a gameshow, Elektra would for sure win! because a big ol' ding ding ding on all that. too bad there's no prize for winning this particular game... . . . .. )
I have enough for a few days ready. ( which indicates that he's already pretty certain Grizz isn't anywhere in town, and he only asked out of pointless hope to be proven wrong.
his gut instinct is to refuse backup outright. a part of him still considers it, truth be told, though that has more to do with his mood than anything else. )
You don't have to do that. I'll check in and I won't go far. ( Matt more or less knows he's going on a pointless venture. he's not going to ask Elektra to dreg through the dark with him when he's fairly confident there's nothing to find. )
[ odd how even with how much they've shared lately, they still have trouble admitting this kind of thing to each other. she doesn't want to be alone any more than she wants him to venture out there alone. ]
okay. i'm going to gather some things, too. i'll come to your place.

'not too far' could mean anything with you, matthew. we have each other's backs, remember? unless you'd prefer to search alone.
no subject
( for a search, or in general. he doesn't admit that near as often as he should, considering how much he means it. )
I remember. You're right, we'll be safer together. I'll need to prep more for two, but I can be ready within an hour.

( that's the only answer he has, there's not much left to say. true to his word, he'll be ready to head out into the dark once she arrives. )
