Five gives that more thought than is really necessary. She's obviously proud of that skill, which he gets after witnessing it. He hasn't had quite as much success when he pretends to be a child, but to be fair, he hasn't been in a long time. Remembering how to act usually falls flat, and he doesn't have the patience to really sell it. Winnie seems to be an exception. Maybe that's something she wants to believe too.
And contrary to what she says, intelligence has everything to do with it. Everyone would live longer with a healthy dose of paranoia, as far as he's concerned. Though he can appreciate the lesson she's trying to give to a poor misguided boy.
Once she asks if he wants to rest, he scoffs and shakes his head. It doesn't matter how cold or tired he is, there's no way he's dropping his guard now. Especially since he hasn't forgotten the one he's leaving behind, who might just be a little sore if she sees him sailing away.
"I'm good. Though if you want to try talking them into leaving sooner, I wouldn't mind." He smiles again, as if he's just asking for another demonstration. "Throw in a story about the missing father if you want. I'm sure that will get them moving."
