she had been one of jacob’s, or at least, that’s what he’d heard from one of the other resistance members. taken by someone to the resistance, removed from an environment full of death and broken men, where she was considered useful only for her knowledge and put... right back in the same situation on the other side of the war. he felt bad for her because of that, knowing that the war was shitty on both sides, and that no one was going to escape this unharmed.
he wonders how she’s dealing with it, but he doesn’t ask. it’s not his place. instead, he slips into her new home, and holds out a backpack full of supplies, things he’s taken from closed down clinics and various other places, things he knows she’ll need if she wants to continue healing and helping them.
he smiles then, hesitant and unsure, and gives the bag a little shake. she’s pretty, but firm and probably just as hurting as the rest of them, and he knows that she’s been through enough to not trust just anything handed to her. ( even if it was handed to her by a deputy of the sheriff’s office. or perhaps especially because of this. ) so he makes sure to move it just enough to prove that it’s not explosive or otherwise dangerous.
“heard you needed supplies from pastor jerome, ma’am.” polite, and soft spoken, unusual considering the situation they were in. but deacon was a hard man to break, an even harder man to stop when he was determined, and everyone was finding that out quickly enough. “this is all i could find for now, but hopefully it helps.”
