"Yah, Ezra's vife and kids are safe in Portland but he had to stay behind because they refused to carry any more people." Boris said with his voice slightly lowered. "He's been separated from them ever since the first day of this madness over 15 years ago. Ve both decided to valk to Portland by foot, taking out any Blinders we see. He's devoted his life to try and reunite with his vife and kid--"
"Boris, I think that's enough. You talk too much sometimes..." Ezra said sternly as he walked back in the apartment, sliding the balcony door shut behind him. He turned to the girls and seemed to glare at them. His stare was intimidating but his sigh was of defeat. "Look, Boris and I are heading to Portland Oregon by any means possible. We're leaving really early tomorrow morning, when Blinders are the least active. You can tag along, or, as I said to Mr. Wayne, leave at your own expense."
While Boris helped out Wayne with the stove, he managed to get it to heat up with a couple of rough hits and constant pushing of buttons. He overheard Ezra and frowned slightly.
"But Ezra, the young lady is a doctor, she can be really helpful in critical times." Boris continued to make sure the stove worked properly for Wayne. "Even ve have limits, Ezra... Even you know a doctor vould be a nice addition to the group, she even came vith a bodyguard who can fight just as nasty as men!"
Ezra listened to all the points Boris said before pinching the bridge between his eyes. He knew Boris had a point but he was slow on trusting people so openly. With a doctor in the group, it would be great for them and good practice on a cure should she find one. A moment like this won't come again anytime soon so he decided to suck it up and nod to Boris. He seemed a bit annoyed, to say the least.
"Fine, I'll let them her stay but the decision remains hers and hers alone. Same goes for her girlfriend and Mr. Wayne." He didn't want to stick around any longer to hear anything else Boris might say. He headed to the door but stopped himself. "However, there will be one rule: Girls sleep in one apartment and boys in another. In times like this, crime is free game. The last thing I want to hear is for someone to get raped." He seemed to stare at Wayne specifically. "So no excuses from either side, got it?"
Ezra stared at everyone before leaving the apartment and heading to the one next door. He left the door open in case he was needed.

Boris watched Ezra leave and smiled at the group. How he tolerated Ezra was a mystery.
"Don't vorry so much about his cold demeanor... It means he's starting to trust you a little." Boris chuckled slightly before gathering any sort of food he can find. "But you should be getting some rest soon, ve get up very early tomorrow so rest as much as you can."
