It doesn't need to be said. The looming possibility that the Commander and Scoutmaster are dead has not left the edge of Ellis' mind.
If they've lost Flint and Yseult, it would be a serious blow. Ellis doesn't need to say that aloud either.
"I can make you a list for that too," is absolutely meant as a joke instead, as Ellis tears the half of sandwich in his hands. "We can put Wysteria at the top of it."
A terrifying prospect, surely.
Though Ellis doesn't leave the humor much room to breathe, following it with, "They're too smart to get themselves killed that way. We'll flush them out sooner or later."
