The reply was quick, like the snap of a whip in the silence that spanned between them. A part of him knew he had to bite back, his tone matching her own, knowing she’d never listen otherwise. She was headstrong, stubborn like her father- and he’d already expected a fight between them. He’d noticed when she’d left, a missing horse in the barn and not a single person knowing where she was. If anything, him coming after her was probably mercy, compared to what might happen if Joel caught wind of it. The dead of winter, off on her own, truly there wasn’t a more stupid decision she could have come up with. No matter how good a person was, there was no way in hell she could fight off a wave of those monsters on her own. Why he’d mounted up, chased after her before anyone else could, and now, finally face to face, tried to talk her off the ledge to come back home.
“I know you can handle yourself, that you don’t need anyone- you’ve made that pretty clear with the way you took off and didn’t tell a soul. You know if something happened to you, there wouldn’t be a single person out here to save your ass. You’re really gonna do that to everyone? Leave without a goodbye and what, expect someone to find your shambling body out here in the snow? No way in hell, Ellie. Over my dead body.” The wind was biting, his breath visible as shook his head, “If you’re out here looking for.. Supplies or, whatever, then I’m coming with you, saving your ass so no one chews you apart when we get back. I’m not taking no for an answer-”
HER EXPRESSION SOFTENS WITH HIS WORDS. they were reasonable concerns, whether she saw things that way or not — being such a prominent presence back at jackson, it was only a matter of time before someone caught wind that she was GONE. though the chances of one finding her SHAMBLING CORPSE out in the snow were non-existent ( oh how she wished she could scream the words ‘ i’m immune— i can’t get infected ’ to anyone who cared .. if just to lessen their concern over her ), she understands where he’s coming from; & though she ventured out ON HER OWN to BE ALONE ( for reasons that were unimportant now ) .. at least with both of them out from camp, it’d make the return back less of a hassle when it came to questioning where they were.
❝ look, i— ❞ A SIGH, brows furrowing temporarily. ❝ i won’t send you away if you’re gonna be .. stubborn about it, but what i’m doing out here on my own isn’t any of yours, or anyone’s, business. okay ? ❞ so don’t ask. words she wanted to speak but refrained from.
hand comes up to adjust the strap from her backpack on her shoulder, bright green eyes looking him over for a moment before she’s nodding her head towards buildings in the distance; fresh snowfall crunching beneath her feet as she walks towards them. ❝ since you’re out here now though, we might as well look for some supplies .. at least have something to show for our time out here. c’mon. ❞
𝑶𝑵𝑪𝑬 𝒀𝑶𝑼'𝑽𝑬 𝑩𝑬𝑬𝑵 𝑺𝑻𝑹𝑰𝑷𝑷𝑬𝑫 𝑪𝑳𝑬𝑨𝑵, 𝑾𝑯𝑨𝑻'𝑺 𝑨𝑻 𝒀𝑶𝑼𝑹 𝑪𝑶𝑹𝑬?
cauterizing rage. the house has burned around you, and you’re the only one left standing. is it gratifying to be the survivor? fear and anger are weapons in your capable hands, used only to serve your agenda of fighting back when deemed necessary. you're a powerful person, built from the ashes of your despair and your family's mistakes. with time, you'll bloom into someone softer, like the full blossoms that grow each spring and wither away with the leaves in fall. they won't disappear if you take your eyes off of them. you're enough.

○ @lonegun : ❝ rough day today? ❞
FINGERS WRING TOGETHER AS GAZE REMAINS DOWNCAST. it was a typical patrol ( her & one other ), the regular check-ins at the outposts on their route— ridding the trails of any INFECTED that may have wandered their way in during the areas vacant period from regular checks. NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. or so it had been as such up until their final stop: a splattering of dark red greeting them ‘pon the floorboards inside DUSTY & DECREPID BUILDING, a decaying corpse accompanying the stain — A NOTE LEFT BEHIND. it wasn’t unheard of ( & she’d seen it before .. time and time again ). people got bitten, it was one of the hazards of the job if they weren’t careful, and often times it was either TAKE YOURSELF OUT or let the infection spread. NOT OFTEN WOULD PEOPLE CHOOSE THE LATTER. that didn’t make seeing the outcome of events any easier, however; & especially not when it was one of jackson’s own, whether she knew them well or not.
A ROUGH DAY .. yeah, that was certainly a way to put it. question is heard loud & clear; a nod accompanying a quiet hum in a show of acknowledgement as gaze fails to meet HIS.
❝ —you remember those two girls who went missing a few months back ? they went out on a patrol and never made it back ? ❞ a pause, though she doesn’t wait for any sort of response. ❝ well i found one of them .. at one of the old outposts. she and her partner got swarmed by a pack on the trails, and she managed to get away, but .. she got bit, and. well. ❞ A SIGH, brows knitting together. ❝ i’m assuming her friend didn’t make it and she didn’t wanna end up with the same fate. ❞
