Mitsoumi frowned, but nodded. This wasn't the time to play. He wondered what happened to the guy that was all wet and tried to run him over with that truck.
Barker tilted his head to the side to glance at Evelyn.
"On a few occasions depending on certain vibes I pick up on from Mathew... And those who dare hurt my family."
He slapped a fine layer of a home made sauce along the bread once he pulled them off and peeled salted meat slices from his pre made and prepared stock. Letting Eve add her lettuce, getting ready to serve the sandwiches with little side salads.

Liam leaned back taking a long puff off of his cigar.
"Interesting."
He would contemplate for a moment before continuing.
"So, what is it you are requesting of me and mine. What do you, specifically, want from us?"

"I want to use your land as my staging ground. I want you and every able-bodied man and woman to be the start of my army. Those that can not fight will be taught. Those that excel will be given positions of leadership and delegated to."

It's kind of hard to miss the unspoken matter at hand. As horrifying as it was to think about how casually he said it, there was a sense of affection at the protective tone. Also, horrifying.
"And that different from medicine how?" She grabs the plates and serving platter to take the food in, but the question doesn't come without a moment of silence while she did it.

Barker grinned.
"Well, the medicine I make is special. You've been eating it your whole life, so obviously you don't notice how you are naturally, faster, stronger, more durable, perceptive, think faster than your average person. Even with the minimal training, your Qi came naturally and comfortably. Other people face trauma or hardships to even glimpse their powers. Mathew was basically saying, 'They are not enemies, but they are also not allies... Yet.' So, we will simply feed them."

Liam puffed.
"Most people can fight. With the exception of those that are extremely young, or those that are extremely old. Essentially those that would be at risk of hurting themselves or others are the ones we don't put out on the line. Otherwise most are trained. But most aren't experienced in combat. I am one of the weaker Settlement leaders in the area. So I try not to send my people out needlessly. We fight when we must defend our boarders. But until a rival settlement wavers or we find a weakness we try to keep to ourselves."
Liam smiled and leaned forward.
"However, you and your brood are strong. If you think you can train my people to be half as strong as you and yours. Then I think I would like to join you in your mission and see what happens."
Liam would sit back taking another cigar puff.
"Now, that being said, if you fail, I will take care of me and mine, and I will leave you to die. Understood."

He'd bark a laugh.
"If I fail we'll all already be dead before you get the chance to."
But they were on the same page.

Eve tilted her own head as Barker mentioned things that did indeed feel natural to her. Being physically better than others, a quick mind. Qi that didn't torture her to find out about, especially. Now she had to wonder about all the other gods and spawn she had grown up with and known.
"I see." Her lips quirked a little before her head turned towards the sound of her father's laughter, momentarily distracted by whatever the heck caused it, then nodded and looked back to Barker.
"I think that's everything other than dressing?"

Barker would nod.
"Let's not spoil them, let's carry out the food and see how they take it."
Barker would grab a plate and small bowl of salad and bring it out, walking over to the group and handing the plate over to Liam. Brushing his hands off on his apron he would look at Mathew for a moment before extending a hand to shake.
"Well met. I am Sean Barker, I suppose we will be working together soon?"

Mathew nodded his head to Barker, they were allies now.

"Cocky. I think I like you."
Liam would nod his head at Barker.
"Indeed. Thank you for the food."
Liam would say taking another puff off the cigar.

Mathew would pop his pill and drink his cocoa.
"I just know what I'm capable of."

Evelyn raises her brows at the social exchange, but waits for them to see how they take to the food. She'll either be heading back for her own pill and cocoa soon, or possibly the salad dressing too.

Barker looks down at his hand hanging in the air, then to Liam as an eye brow twitches. Barker was very much a man of custom and manners. This upstart little shit was beginning to be in need of an attitude adjustment. However Barker would remain smiling, pulling his hand back and walking away. Going to the kitchen to remove his apron and go into the living room to do flash cards with Baby Bailey.

Liam didn't trust men whose first thought was to poison him. He wasn't about to eat his food or touch his hand. M however... Liam was about to turn to tell M that she could eat if she wanted to, but before he could say anything he would notice that she had already devoured all of her food and most of what was meant for him. She knew he wasn't going to eat it... Liam just shook his head and turned around.
"So, when would you like to begin?"
