Thread: Don't Open: Dead Inside (1x1 between randomname98766789 and Iikaitlynii)

While not much could really be done about the current situation, it was hard for Scarlett not to realize that her well being basically depended on another person. One could argue that in a world like this that was the case anyway and that was why people were safer in groups, but this was slightly different. She wasn't exactly with a decent group and the only way she wouldn't be harmed was to stick by the only one who didn't seem bad. It kind of felt like she would be walking on egg shells but there wasn't much she could do about that. There's nothing wrong with it, she stated when he started checking the gun. Before ending up on her own she had been taught how to use it, and more importantly how to keep it in decent shape by keeping it clean. I'll be fine, she first said to the offer. Scarlett didn't exactly feel right with taking any of his stuff. Actually if anything she was just thirsty anyway rather than hungry. When he slid the bag over she was still hesitant but figured if she woke up feeling dehydrated then she could drink a little bit of water. Thank you, was all she could think to say in response to both the offer and mentioning to wake him up if she needed anything. Sitting there made it easier to start feeling tired, especially after having been worried about what would happen next with dealing with this group, so her eyes ended up drifting closed before she decided to adjust to lay down. --- Beth was slightly relieved when he didn't argue with her about the food. The blonde knew how he could be about making sure she was okay first before worrying about his own well being. Of course that wasn't a bad thing and she loved him for caring so much but at a time like this they both needed to be in their best shape. If not their best shape then at least in better shape than they currently were. For the minutes they were silent Beth continued to eat the fruits and vegetables on the plate. She didn't want to scarf the food down and then her stomach become disagreeable afterwards, so she wanted to take it a little slow and enjoy the meal. Especially since she didn't exactly look forward to going back to the doctor. The young woman grew slightly tense when another police officer strolled up. This one was a male and he didn't come off as very friendly. That thought was confirmed when he spoke and acted as if they truly owed him something. Beth didn't really feel that was true since neither had wanted to come here in the first place. Her tension grew slightly as Gorman turned his attention towards her and it was easy to tell what he wanted from her. It was hard not to look uneasy and even a little disgusted, but somehow she managed to hide that until after he left. Forcing a nod when Oliver tried to reassure her it only made her more worried. She didn't want to see him die. Not just because he was the only person she had left, but because then Gorman could definitely do whatever he wanted with her. Yeah, she agreed. It won't be easy though. There will be plenty of people watching us, she said and could already feel the eyes on them. After continuing to eat and then drink the water she looked to him after she was done. Ready? She asked but was clearly not thrilled to return to Dr Edwards.
