It was the Halovians's home, after all, and the Grounders were entirely in their debt for allowing those who wished shelter to take it here, even if they brought their own supplies. They had a right to be protective of themselves and their own people, and once the supplies were stored inside another check wouldn't cause him any difficulties.

If you have time today I would like to change that, once the supplies are in?" He tread the line between courteous and hopeful, always seeking new bridges to build, especially if the people who had become his own would be relying on the Captain for their protection in the coming season.
