Truth be told, Cyrus hadn't really been paying attention to the news program. His mind had been elsewhere, struggling to process what had just happened, and what was continuing to happen, and what it meant and how he felt. And so far, he was coming up with a big, fat blank.

He jolted from his thoughts at Temple's voice, snapping a look up at him, all wet and glistening from his shower. "Huh? Oh, uh..." He flicked his gaze back to the TV. "No, not really. Nothin' really interestin' right now."

"Mm," Temple said, losing interest in the subject then.  He returned to their packs and the organized arrangement of supplies around them.  He'd taken everything out and laid it all where he could see every bit, just as Cyrus had taught him.  Now they could see what they had and what they needed.

Glancing over at what Temple was working on, Cyrus decided now was a good time to quiz him. So far, he was on the right track; it'd be good to see if he could finish the job.

He nodded to the supplies. "What're we missin'?"

"Uh..."  A lot of the most obvious stuff jumped out at him, which was at least progress.  He'd still miss things, because he always did.

"More water tablets," he said, ticking things off on his fingers as he said them.  "The clothes, obviously.  The new map update, batteries, fresh survey markers...uhh..."

He was running out of the easy stuff and having to really wrack his brain, now.

Cyrus nodded along as Temple listed off items. "Ya almost got it all. Just a couple more left. Think ya got it?"

With a wide grin, Cyrus reached over and gave him a congratulatory slap on the back. "Good job!  Soon enough, you're not even gonna need me for this."

It felt good to get something right for once.  He was not picking up this subterrain survival business with a whole lot of ease.  He was getting it, it just was taking a lot of effort for a thing that came to Cyrus so easily.

"All right, well...guess I'll get started."

A lot of it he could gather on his own, from their own supplies here.  Some of it only Cyrus would have access to.

"Do whatcha can," Cyrus said, with another pat to Temple's shoulder. "I'll finish off the rest."

Temple was confident enough to gather what they needed, but not to pack it away.  Packing was so damn particular.  Everything had to be arranged just so for maximum space and most balanced weight distribution.

So when Cyrus returned later that day with the rest of it, Temple had his bit all laid out around the packs and ready for Cyrus's inspection.

When Cyrus returned with the rest of what they needed, he couldn't help but crack a small grin at Temple's work. He'd finished up...kind of. Everything they needed was there. That was fine. But he hadn't put anything away, or even begun to.

Slinging down his bag of junk, Cyrus gave an obvious look down at the supplies, then looked back at Temple with a raised eyebrow. "Well?"

Temple scratched his head.  Part of him feared another of Cyrus's lectures on how he wasn't picking this up fast enough.  Another part of him was just resigned to it at this point.

"Uh...I'm not actually a hundred percent on where to start here..."

Well. At least the kid had gotten somewhere. Farther than last time, in any case!

"That's alright," Cyrus said, surprisingly patient---because he did have patience! Just no patience for stupidity. But this wasn't stupidity, this was learning. Couldn't expect a city slicker to pick this up overnight.

He took a seat on the flood across from Temple and started taking out his supplies and laying them out on the floor for easy eyeballing.

"It's kinda like piecin' together a puzzle, makin' everything fit without squishin' it," he said. "You'll also wanna put the stuff you'll need most on top, so ya can grab it easier. Stuff for makin' camp, for example, can go on the bottom since ya won't need any of that shit 'til we're at a stoppin' point and can dig around. So go on, give it a shot. I'll give ya a hint--the way I taught ya to lay things out? It's in the order of how shit should be packed."
