Whatever excuse I need to abandon Lilly works for me. Her endless cavilling makes her survival skills irrelevant. I imagine myself kicking back on the motel terrace after a hard day of scrounging, detecting, and zombie stomping, only to hear her go on and on and on and on and on and on about how tough she is, how hard her life is, how underappreciated she is... Enough. I'd tie her up, loosely, so she could get herself free in a few minutes. I'd leave her a gun, but with some ammo a few minutes walk up the road so we'd skip her winging a few shots at the departing RV. I just have no patience for people who whine.
I'll figure out what to do with Ben later, after seriously grilling him about his motives and what I can expect from him in the future.
