A heaping plethora of food was spread out upon the table before him - the dishes smelling so similar to the Mexican food of his childhood. It was rare, these days, that the Alpha indulged in any sort of cuisine from his youth. The memories often tainted his joy of the food. Tetradore said little of those more somber thoughts. After all, the beam upon his girlfriend's face, and the faces of her family, was something he couldn't possibly ruin when their trip was already overshadowed by so much turmoil. Tetradore settled in his seat besides Mira, her family spread out around them as food was heaped abundantly on brightly colored plates. Though Tetradore remained silent for the majority of the meal, he still cleaned his plate of the food given to him - he would need the energy when they faced what was to come. His thoughts, admittedly, were largely focused upon the battle before him, filtering through every tactic he'd ever seen Risque employ and every story Matteo ever told him of his grandfather's exploits. No matter what angle he looked at it from, however, there only ever seemed to be exactly one viable option - he could only hope it'd work.

He leaned over towards his girlfriend, only to softly utter to Mira that he had, at least, some resemblance of an idea. Her golden gaze turned towards him before she nodded briefly. Now, with her family around them, was hardly the time to get into specifics. It was clear she wanted to enjoy these few blissful hours with her family and Tetradore was more than willing to allow it. He listened as she prattled on with her sister just as he listened to her grandmother's stories with feigned intrigue until, eventually, that boisterous family dinner wound down to leave the pair alone in relative quiet to face the oncoming storm.

It was sometime later, after some extensive looking at maps online and checking weather patterns that Tetradore stood in the middle of a clearing surrounded by a thick forest of evergreen. Tetradore's head was tilted upward, ensuring that the wind was blowing in the exact direction he needed before he glanced down at his phone to verify their position in relation to Negan's 'house'. The Alpha glanced up at his girlfriend's voice, her anxiety altogether clear as she questioned after the plan one more time. It was certainly not his best plan, admittedly, but her worry caused a small frown to tug at the corners of his lips. "It should be pretty easy. You stay here and let Nolan know where you are. He and his...pack should come through that way." Tetradore pointed downwind of them. "I'll find a place further downwind to watch them and slowly pick them off while they make their way here so we can thin out their numbers." It was the end portion of his plan, however, that was the least thought out. After all, though Tetradore had little qualms with outright murder - whether Mira was comfortable committing such an atrocious act entirely would steer the rest of the encounter. "If you want, as soon as they come into the clearing, you can combust as many as you can...and then we'll deal with what's left over."

It would be easy, after all, if Mira merely could set Negan on fire and end the confrontation before it even began. Death by fire, however, was nothing short of horrific both to experience and to watch. Frankly, Tetradore wasn't certain if the girl who strove to be so fearless was quite ready to live with the nightmares of those screams. Tetradore slid his cellphone back in his pocket as he stepped closer towards his girlfriend, his hands settling upon her arms as he drew her attention towards him. "Mira...killing someone with fire is not something that will ever leave you...so don't do it if you're not ready for it. It won't change the outcome either way." He offered in some effort to reassure her. No matter her choice, it would hardly change what he thought of her, nor would it change his determination to end Nolan's reign upon her life.

My heart is just to dark too care. I can't destroy what isn't there

so if you love me let me go

Deliver me into my fate & leave me with my sins
If you still care, don't ever let me know
