[He nods. More to acknowledge that he's heard Ben than really agreeing with him. It might not have been his fault but boy does he feel shitty about it. He'd tried to make it right, just a little bit, helping Rook to escape, getting him out of the compound. Which is why Pratt was currently duct taped to a chair starving to death as punishment.

There's not even the satisfaction of knowing that his fellow deputy escaped. For all he knows Rook was shot immediately outside the compound. He'll never know if he got away or not.]

Jacob was right about a lot of things. He's an asshole but he's not an idiot - if it had worked he'd have been a hell of a lot more pissed off about it. He hated Eli.

[The kind of intense hatred only reserved for people who used to be friends and then had grown apart into enemies.

Ben's suggestion actually tugs a smile to his lips. What if that was all it took? They could have just all gotten spotify subscriptions and none of this would have happened. Of course it's not that easy, but it sure is amusing. ]

I don't know if that would work, but .. I'd be willing to try.

Thanks. For you know.. [He gestures around, not really sure he's getting at.] this.
