It did sound pretty good, at least in theory. He doesn't say anything for a moment, just considering how far it was actually possible to run away from their problems, and whether it was really wise to, if that was how they wanted to be remembered. Eventually he smiles sadly. "Sounds nice. Until it starts raining."
A little bit, maybe. But sitting on the beach in a torrential downpour didn't sound ideal, either, and he sighed with frustration. "Nothin's ever just easy, is it?"
Richard shakes his head a little. That was the understatement of the year, really. Nothing would ever be easy, especially not for him. Privately, he did think that if Jimmy wanted an easier life, it was right there for him to reach out and take. His family were right there in front of him, unlike the images from magazines that Richard savoured so. But maybe, after everything they'd been through in the war, that simpler life was really lost to both of them forever.
"I dunno about that. Life like this, kinda makes it seem luckier if you end up dead before you can fuck everythin' up worse."
It's not that he wants to be dead. Sometimes he just thinks it should have worked out that way. It would have simplified a lot of things, that was for sure.

"Maybe one day things will be easier."
He doesn't sound too convinced of that, though.
