Zachariah's Point Of View

I secured the satchel and my jacket into place, then looked up at him with a start. I hadn't expected him to go so far.
"You intend to come with me? I assumed that you would take command while I'm away." I said, eyeing him curiously.
"I cannot deny that I pondered this decision quite restlessly. I had a hard time finding someone capable to entrust this responsibility to, as well. Please forgive me for not consulting you first." He replied, bowing deeply.
"It's fine, Jay. Truthfully, I'm a little hesitant to leave my responsibilities to anyone but you... Is there a reason that you decided to tag along with me?" I asked, resuming our walk towards the door.
