- thick skin -

My heart knows that no ill can touch a soul such as is thine; I come as surely as the tide my darling Clementine.

“You’re not a bad guy, Clem. You’re just… doing the same as everyone else. You’re doing the best you know how to.”

Funny that you say that now. That’s just the guilt of leaving me out there talking, right? I’m pretty sure I was the bad guy on the day you left me.

“It should matter. I wouldn’t do that to them. Or you. Just like you’re not doing that to me.”

I’m already a bad guy. Might as well say how it actually is instead of trying to redeem my character.

“I’d like to think that I’m more important to them than their own insecurities… but maybe that’s just naive.”

No one wants to admit that they’d do it, it doesn’t matter if it’s you or anyone else.

“I can’t figure out if you’re being nice to me makes me feel better or worse.”

Well, I can break out the asshole in me if you want it.

Public humiliation is one way to stop crime from happening. Does this happen a lot, or was the first guy enough of a deterrent?

It’s the only one I’ve heard about.

“I don’t know why the people closest to me would pretend that. That’s pretty harsh…”

It is. But who wants to admit they’d leave someone for dead so they’d live?

“I wasn’t being a good friend in general. I should have been more understanding…”

I should’ve. It’s fine. You’re fine.

“I’m gonna be a better friend to you, Clem. I promise. I was an ass before- the way I acted was unfair. You deserve better than that.”

You didn’t do anything wrong. Apart from the toilet paper.

“I should’ve guessed you’d be the one person to actually get that.”

You know I’m not stupid. Anyone that doesn’t get it is just pretending not to. They want to pretend to be more ‘humane’.

“Really?” Ren hadn’t expected her to believe or agree with him, especially after his own brother and fiancee had expressed doubts on the subject.

“Really. I would’ve done the same thing. It wouldn’t be worth it if we both died out there.”

Fuck if I know, I’m new in town. It was some guy with brown hair, he looked like he was in his late twenties or early thirties, and a blonde chick.

They’ve beaten one of the employees before, but he shot up a hospital. Those two probably just tried to steal some food or something. Which they should know better than to do.

“No one warned me about the public whippings. Someone might wanna put that on the travel brochure so folks know what they’re getting into here.”

Who got whipped?

Joel wanted to tell her not to talk like that but it didn’t seem fair, especially after everything she’d been through. 

“I’m so sorry Clem. I wanted to come find you.”

“It’s not like you could. The mayor has this place locked down too tight,” Clementine said, shaking her head. “I wouldn’t want you to risk your ass anyways.”

“I know you’re not like that.”
