[Declan doesn't mean to be drunk and down around Matthew, it's why he's out here like this, instead of inside. It's not that he's trying to avoid him, but... well, maybe a little bit. Declan is used to coming up with solutions to whatever problems his family is facing, but this time he's not so sure what to do. It's unnerving.
He doesn't want to worry Matthew, though, which he knows is a little ridiculous because he can already hear it in the tone of his voice as he comes to sit down next to him. The mint smell reminds him of Monmouth. The one back home, not here.
Declan glances at Matthew and offers him a small nod]
Hey. Yeah, everything's okay. Just taking in the view.
[He lies as he waves his hand toward the open fields around them]
