You got a reason for that, or are you just onea those people who feels like the old them died with the fall of society? She asked, sounding a little bit curious. It wasnt exactly the hardest thing to do. He said theyd done more than enough, and Willa shook her head. We pulled you outa the ocean, we were doing that with fish anyway, she dismissed his words easily, because it wasnt that big a deal. If we didnt want to help, we would have left you. It was a true fact, as cold as the idea was. Were in it for whatever it takes to keep you alive at this point. As long as he wasn't a danger. He asked about another man, and her face fell a little. I didnt. The other group hasnt come in yet, but my boat just got you and came back. We were a little worried youd die or something before we got you to land. I havent heard that weve gotten signaled from the other boat, though. You uh, you also mentioned a Roberta, I think, and we havent found her either if she was in the water. Sorry. She honestly was. Losing people was one of the worst things someone could go through, and he seemed to have gone through some serious shit. Someonell let me know if they find anyone, but theyll be coming back in soon. I can take you down to look at the zombies before we burn them, if you want. We catch em in our nets sometimes, and usually try to pull out the ones that we can, to make sure they dont wash up on shore and cause problems. And then they burned the bodies in a dug out pit in the sand to try and decrease the chances of the animals they might eat eating the dead bodies. You gotta stop moving around so much, youre not in great shape right now. Well, in that he had a bullet hole in him. He looked in great shape. If she had to guess, Willa would probably say he was one of those survivors who wandered, not one of the ones who had a based camp they stuck too. When his stomach growled, she stifled a laugh and smiled. Yeah. Hang on, Ill get you something. She moved to the door and knocked a few times in a quick pattern. It opened a second later, and a scruffy faced man peered in. I think hes fine, Willa said softly, can we get some food and water for him? After that, a few murmured words got exchanged, and then the man disappeared. She waited at the door, one eye on 10k the entire time the man outside the door was gone, until he returned and passed a red handkerchief and a plastic water bottle through to her, plus something that she immediately pocketed. He spoke, softly enough 10k wouldnt be able to hear, and the short haired woman shrugged and then nodded before closing the door and coming back to the mattress on the floor. She crouched down next to it, setting the supplies down at her side. We're happy to have you here. But you gotta know, my family has worked hard since the outbreak to keep everyone here safe and happy, to make sure that no matter what happens we dont forget that other people are just trying to survive, like us. We kept our doors open during the drought, we always have food and water for travelers who need it. Because thats what good people do. And as long as youre good people too we wont have any problems, yeah? She didnt actually say shed hurt him, but she didnt need to. It was in the way that she stared at him same intense focus as before, like she was trying to look through him to find what she wanted. Again it only lasted a few seconds before her face relaxed and warmed up, and she handed him the water bottle and tied handkerchief, which was weighted with a fist sized piece of cooked fish, some fresh snap peas, and a handful of dried corn. She rocked back on her heels, letting herself drop from the crouch and into a seated position, legs crossed. Youre welcome to stay as long as you want or need. Weve got hot food, spare clothes, and plenty of water. If you stick around long enough youll have to pitch in once youre better, but weve got everything from fishing to scavenging to food work. Theyd find some place for him. Maybe we can spare a hand or two to get out and look for your people if you got em, but not now. You can leave whenever you want, but I dont want to send someone whos gonna have to carry you. Dragging an injured man out of safety was stupid. People are curious about you. When youre feelin up to it Ill take you out to see everything, but until then youre probably stuck with me. Maybe another guy, when he gets back. But he didnt get to be alone. Dont have any wheelchairs or anything, but we might be able to find you a rolling chair if you need it. Which might not be super helpful, but he could get around that way if needed. She'd let him know how things were, and with the threat out of the way, Willa was happy to be welcoming. He seemed like he'd be fine, it was just a gut feeling but she tended to listen to those.
