Look at where we are, look at where we started.
Santana keeps her eyes trained ahead, where Brittany and Kurt are trying to entertain Rachel’s baby –the biggest proof of how much time has passed–. Her features harden at the words, but she takes a a moment to reflect on their journey. She can allow herself to do it now, it’s been a while since they last heard of walkers roaming the area, and everything points towards peaceful times ahead. Her eyes go from Brittany’s first bullet injury– a scar right in her thigh, to Kurt’s bandaged left shoulder from their last encounter with a horde of zombies. Her right hand places by instinct over her stomach, where she suffered her worst injury. It’s been months from that. She learned that chicks dig scars after that, it’s not all bad.
She’s brought back to the present when she feels Rachel’s insistent eyes on her. “Don’t get all sentimental now, Berry. Are your hormones still speaking for you? Now that was something far scarier than a bunch of brain eating monsters.” Her lips tighten into a smile, her muscles resisting the action. Yeah, she’ll have to get use to smiling again. But she has plenty of reasons to do so now. “Because I can’t help but being brutally honest…I can’t believe you are still alive. Me? I knew I’d kick death in the ass. You on the other hand weren’t exactly equipped with survival skills.” A smirk plays on her lips, while her eyes dart around the place. She notices Quinn taking a glance in their direction before settling with Kurt and Brittany. Santana raises an eyebrow at Rachel, but keeps her mouth shut. She clears her throat akwardly, choosing the right words to approach the next subject.
“You know– Britt and I, kinda changed our minds about the whole parting ways. We decided to stay…here I mean. That poor kid’s gonna need someone who’s not batshit insane in her life, right? Besides…I’d miss my snark sessions with Kurt too much” she shrugs nonchalantly.
