Scott maintains his smile, it's small, and a little amused but no less genuine than it ever is. He doesn't know if Leo is just being dramatic, or if Leith really is so corrupt. There isn't a lot of goodness to be found on Westerley--though not by choice, so Scott doesn't fault anyone for it. Life is tough here, and people do what they need to survive. It'd be nice if they could all cooperate; realize that unity is more effective than selfishness, but that's not the world they live in.
He assumes that Leith would be better, that the people would be more content, and better settled, but he'll have to take Leo's word for it. ]
You make it sound so terrible, don't you want me to visit you sometime?
[ Probably not, and Scott's most joking as he picks up the now empty box behind him and sets about flattening it. ]
