"Won't let anything like some good old newbie hatred stand in the way of sex, huh?"
It's easy to make jokes about it, to put it in context of things he's known. Everything is easier than facing his future here and he's still working on trying to make sense of it all. And get over his nerves about what's expected of him. Humor always makes things easier.
But his expression is serious, taking it all in even if processing it isn't nearly as easy. He nods though at that, shifting his rifle as he takes it all in.
"Doesn't help they're enforcing things on people that didn't sign up for it and then bothered when they're not into it. Gotta love it," he says, making a face. "I'm not sure if it's better or worse that I'm accepting this isn't a game of the overlords just to get me on distracted and out of the battle."
It wouldn't be the first time they had try to take the Masons out of the war by one means or another. Hallucinations of a different life wasn't even new.
As wild as the whole place is, in that moment there's at least a calm that comes from knowing that the other has a clue of how bad things can be with Ben. They've been open and honest with Ben and that means a lot to him. Even with the warning of what could happen because of the really screwed up reality that they're basically probably being low key drugged all the time.
He's quiet for a moment, considering the other man before he smiles. It's not the cocky one he's been good at giving when things get tough but genuine and almost shy as he nods.
"Sure. I could definitely do with a cocoa. Been a while since I've had any."
Coffee was hard enough to get in his world. Things like cocoa had been gone for a while for those fighting in the trenches as it were.

"But I'm accepting it." Not that he's sure he can so easily accept his place in this town or their expectations. Which meant he was also talking seriously what Vrenille has said about the café and the possibility of what could happen.
