[I owe 9 drafts and 2 greeters and I have 0 motivation. Sorry, but I busted my ass at work all weekend and then found out my dad went to the hospital today.]

     "You look a little parched there. I've got some water, if you're all out." Lila took a single step forward and reached one arm with the water bottle. She didn't want to spook the woman. People were jumpy these days, and for good reason. Not like Lila was much of a threat. Tiny Asian girl didn't exactly scream axe murderer. Well, maybe the fire axe did.

     "I'm sorry, did you just tell me that you guys used to live in a prison?" Lila squinted at the former sheriff. "Like, you realize people used to spend their lives avoiding prison, right?" Actually, now that she thought about it, if it was empty a prison was a highly defensible position. "Wait-- what happened to the inmates?"

      “DUDE. I wasn’t asking for you to KISS me???        WHAT THE HELL?”

     "Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I should have taken your sexual preferences into account when you stopped breathing." Lila sat back on her heels. "But sure, we can discount my paramedic training as just a big lesbian crush on you."

—He shrugged and got himself comfortable. Maybe some people just didn’t see anything wrong with it. His brother always gave him that look. Almost like it was disappointment. Wished he was still around so he could ask him. Jared sighed. “I guess I just feel guilty about it. “

     "Y-yeah, I got that. I mean, why, though? If they had a good time, if they were into it, and you didn't give these girls any reason to regret it? I don't see why you should be." Lila wasn't a player or anything, she'd had her share of one night stands but it wasn't like she'd deliberately made the choice to live like that, sometimes shit happened. Hell, it was the end of the world as they knew it. Shit happens should be the new national anthem or something.

                   ”I wasn’t asking a serious question.”  Honetly. Nick rolled his eyes, looking her over and thinking if he should answer her question or not. A bit of a smirk appears on his face but it’s wiped away quickly                  ”Just a keen eye and good aiming.”

     "Yeah? Where was that aim when that smoker had me?" She teased, her tone light and not at all serious. She could tell that he felt uncomfortable with her level of honesty, and that hadn't been her intention. So, she switched back to humor. It was her greatest strength at the end of the world, in her own opinion. What was surviving worth if you were miserable all the time?

    “Sorry to burst your bubble, sweetheart,     but you don’t exactly have a say in the     matter.” Leigh didn’t like holding people     at gunpoint especially innocent ones.     Whatever had gotten into her, she didn’t     know, but this girl apparently needed     interrogating and this was the easiest     way she could think of.

Leigh wasn’t built to kill like most people were now. She wasn’t built to torture and to maim like her ‘partner’ in the other room. No, she wasn’t, but if it got to out of hand she could end it and take the punishment herself.

    “It’s me holdin’ a gun to your head or my     friend can come in and sound like a real     sweet talker before he shoves his knife     in your face. Believe me, he’s nowhere     near as pretty or as nice as I am.”

     A fire axe really was no good when someone had a gun pointed at you. Still, Lila's hand clenched around the familiar handle. She'd survived some pretty heinous shit to get here, and she wasn't about to be shot to death by some girl who-- what? Wanted her supplies? Not good enough. Not a good enough reason to die. 

     She tried real hard not to grit her teeth, and instead licked her lips and made an attempt to look casual. "That certainly seems to be scenarios one and two, but I think you might want to consider scenarios three through five." Her voice was surprisingly calm-- bully for her. She took a breath. "I mean, I may not have a say in the matter, but you do have other options..."

     The girl didn't look comfortable to Lila. There was none of the certainty or calm of a veteran killer. "For example, you could just... let me go. Tell your partner I overpowered you or something, keep your conscience clear for another night or two." A pause here to see how she was reacting to what the more petite girl was saying. Lila watched her face carefully. "Or you could come with me, leave your partner for someone... nicer. Prettier." She would have taken the offer a step further, but she wasn't that ballsy. It wasn't like she'd never seduced a straight girl before-- though she had no idea what this girl's persuasion was, but she wasn't about to try with a gun pointed at her face.

"He’s dead. We have to go."

"I-I—No! I can’t leave him!" Lori cried, trying to see her way past the horde, circling around her husband. Tears poured from her eyes, the woman stepping forward to try to get to him. "I won’t leave him!"

[firefightxr]

     The smaller girl hesitated but only for a moment before grabbing the brunette by her arm firmly. "Lori, he's been bitten. We have to leave him. I know it's hard but think of your baby." She was deceptively strong for her size, and was very accustomed to dragging bodies-- usually out of burning buildings, but being swarmed with walkers wasn't such a long way off from that. She pulled Lori away, trying to think of where they should go, how they should get out. Maybe they could make it to the cars.

Adventure

"An’ where’s our picnic basket, hmm?” He inquired with a raise of his brow, scratching at the scruff of his throat finding mild interest in her challenge. It had certainly been a while since they’d been on a run. Working his jaw for a few seconds contemplating on her suggestion, Daryl sighed with a low huff, before pushing to his feet. “Fine. Yer on. Loser… loser… hell I don’t know, we’ll figure it out.” He grumbled grasping the strap of his bow and slinging it across his shoulders.

     The girl shrugged. "Listen, I'm not in charge of picnic baskets, Dixon. I'm in charge of shotguns and fire axes-- and right now, I'm also in charge of kickin' your ass at this contest." The smile didn't leave her face, but rather grew into a grin as the hunter agreed to her game. "Alright. You takin' point or am I?" Lila usually took point, since her primary weapon was close-up and Daryl's crossbow was ranged, but she still asked out of deference to his tracking experience. She opened the screen door to the house, glancing around the deserted porch before knocking firmly on the front door. "You ready?" She waited for a response from within the structure. Never knew who might be squatting in there-- or rotting. Either way.

I'm headed in to work soon so I'll hopefully get to them later tonight or maybe tomorrow if I'm too tired. ;)]

"At first I didn’t even think about it, but she grew on me-" Glenn just shrugged and smiled. "Well I did pick her over quite a few others, she stood out to me, so yeah, I guess she is as pretty as you"

     "Sounds to me like you really like this girl." Lila raised eyebrows at the delivery boy. "Should Maggie be worried?" Her tone was teasing and not at all serious, she even jabbed him lightly with her elbow. "Well, then. I hope I get to meet her."

It took him to process what she just asked, no one has ever asked about his gun. He tried to hold back the little smirk. He was a really big weapons guy, even before the zombies. He lowered it a little. “It is.”

     She was glad to see him lowering the weapon somewhat. "She's gorgeous. I've got my Wingmaster in the car-- nothing fancy, but she's reliable. I ran out of ammo, though, and I'm too chicken shit to go into the bigger places. That, and I think they're attracted to sound." As far as pump shotguns went, it wasn't too impressive. But she'd wanted something that was inexpensive and would last her a while. Fighting fires didn't exactly bring in the big bucks. 

[gunslingerdixon]

"It’ll be an adventure!"

"The hell’re you brayin’ ‘bout? This ain’t no adventure. Hell it ain’t even no picnic." He grumbled glancing up at his animated companion.

[firefightxr]

     "Well, I mean... we're eating outside. So, technically... this is a picnic. Just saying." Her smile had faded away. "Come on, runs can be fun. Bet I can find more stuff than you." She was genuinely trying. There was no point in surviving everything they'd been through if their lives were all sadness and fear.

"What now?"

"We killed him, didn’t we?"

"It’s not what it looks like!"

"Nobody is going to trust you anymore."

"You’re never going to get away with it."

"I’ve wanted to do this since the day we met."

"He’s going to find out that he’s the father at some point.."

"You’re just like him, you know."

"THEY’RE COMING!"

"You don’t look so good. Are you feeling okay?"

"Are you done?"

"What are you hiding from me?"

"Does family mean nothing to you?"

"[insert name here]!"

"That’s my child, isn’t it? Growing inside of you?"

"You s..shot me."

"None of it was real."

"Why didn’t you tell me?"

"Stop screaming! You’re going to wake up the entire town."

"Are they gone?"

"Don’t let me go."

"I’m not going to make it."

"I think I’m going crazy."

"She will never love you like I love you."

"I should have killed you when I had the chance."

"Nice lingerie, who’s it for?" 

"We shouldn’t be doing this."

"How long…How long have you known?"

"He’s dead. We have to go."

"I need you."

"Whose baby is it?"

"It’s all your fault!" 

"I don’t mind."

"Make me."

"Forgive me."

"It didn’t mean anything." 

"OH GOD, SHE’S NOT BREATHING!" 

"You’re a murderer." 

"I did what I had to do."

"DON’T LIE TO ME!"

"You are mine." 

"He’s never going to forgive you."

Glenn raised a brow and chuckled at the girl, “Actually, I know one, but I dunno-“

     "Yeah? Well is she as cute as me?" Lila grinned at him. "I guess you can't be picky at the end of the world." She shrugged, still smiling.

Tallahassee jumped and pulled out the sawed off out of the holster, he also let out a few curses as he did so. He had thought he was alone in the store. He aimed the gun at her still and listened. “Don’t like ho-hos.”

     At first the girl seemed mildly alarmed that he'd pulled a gun on her. She held up both hands, the axe still held in her right but not close enough to damage him-- unless maybe she were to throw it at him. Then her gaze seemed to take on more of an interest in his gun. "Woah, is that a Mare's Leg?" Rifles weren't really her specialty when it came to firearms, but this particular Winchester was an antique, and a nice one at that.
