[It's an annoying question, although there's no good reason for it to be. Haymitch only knows her boys through what she's told him, and what she's told him hasn't been kind. It's not fair, but she purses her lips anyway.]
They could more than stand to clean up their act, but they've got it in 'em. It's not like I've got much of a selection in Letterkenny. Reilly and Jonesy are... fun, I guess. Beats pickin' stones.
[She shrugs.]
Stewart's a lot like Nathan. More of a degen, though. Meth's got the best of him these past few years.
[He makes a soft noise, a grunt of acknowledgement. He knows the type, or at least knows too many people who are nothing more than their addiction. He, himself, is not too far from that, but at least alcohol is better than morphling or meth.]
But you still care about him. Even if it's shitty. Even if they let you down.
Someone ought to. My brother's a good man, but he can be petty, and same could be said for most of the folks in Letterkenny. Stewart's loudest qualities make him a skid, so he's a skid, end of story. It's for simplicity's sake.

[He gives her a lazy sort of smile.]
Guess it'll have to be Nathan.
[Although . . . hm.]
So what's the appeal with those boys, huh? You don't seem too impressed.

No one's that simple, is the thing.
