Thread: It Could Be Worse [Lewd Misconduct and randomname98766789]

Daryl frowned slightly when Nora said that she didnt think anyone else welcomed her to the group other than himself and Hershel. Given time, he knew that they would warm up to her. Thats how it happened for him. Just wait they will come around. They let me in and I know they will let you in. He commented and took out his knife to absently clean under his fingernails as he spoke to the woman sitting beside of him. He was about to tell her not to worry about his face but he already felt the stinging sensation on his face with the alcohol and the cloth. Shit He hissed in surprise and then hissed the same word, biting on the inside of his cheek when she reached it under his eyes. Once she moved it, he opened his eye to look at her, a gruff chuckle coming from his lips. Thanks for the warning. He told her in a teasing manner. Daryl listened to the blonde haired woman speak about her skepticism about staying with a group. Once she had said her part, he spoke up. You are right. We do have good and honest people here. Everyone is. We were holed up in a farm back up the road while Ricks boy, Carl, healed up. It got overrun and we lost a few people so thats why everyone is really quiet and distant, dont take it to heart. Its not you. Plus, it isnt something to worry about with relying on each other. Strength in numbers. Really, were a family and a strong family at that. I think that you would be a great addition. After this, she spoke and finally said she wanted to stay until she was healed. Daryl nodded as Rick had already told him that she could stay with them and join the group if she wanted. He also noticed everyone turning in and was feeling rather tired himself. Well, we would love to have you stay with us for as long as you need. Personally, I want you to stay permanently with us. He informed her and shrugged having some hope that since he was wanting her to stay would sway her decision somehow in his favor. It was strange but something about this woman made him dread the moment she left. Again, Daryl Dixon was never any good with feelings but that usually meant he felt something good about a person. A few more minutes passed and after making sure that Nora was well-fed and had plenty to drink, he grabbed his sleeping bag and laid it out for her on the ground. After bidding her a good night, Daryl walked on over with his crossbow and flashlight, mounting the top of the caravan to take watch. Usually, the rotations went from him, to Rick, to Glenn, and then T-Dog would finish out the rounds. It was not until the early morning hours until Daryl woke Rick for a shift change and it would be the same here tonight. As he stood on top of the caravan, there was little to no action. He downed a couple walkers down the road here and there but it was rather quiet and peaceful. During this time, he thought to himself about the prison that he and Rick were speaking about. Everyone seemed to be on board with the idea but the biggest problem is clearing out the place with all the undead. The prison exterior is overrun and the prison yard is no better. Plus, the horde that overran the farm was still lurking miles away. Sometime in the future, they would eventually all end up towards the prison. Rick and the hick had deducted a plan of staying in some rural houses along the way, sending a few people out each day to kill what walkers they could around the exterior first. Once that was clear, they could move in on the prison and have that much of it taken. A few others would go along and try to pick off some of the walkers that could linger in the horde. It may be months, perhaps longer, before securing the prison but it would be worth it, hopefully. It was around one or two in the morning Daryl thought, and his eyes were getting heavy. He didnt sleep for his own need of sleep, but because he couldnt protect his group- his family- if he wasnt fully awake and coherent. With that in mind, the hunter woke up the sheriff and once Rick was settled in with his gun, Daryl lay down in the grass. He had no sleeping bag now since he let Nora use it, but the grass was nice and comfortable for the hick. He didnt stay awake long as sleep took over and he fell off and drifted into a peaceful slumber. It remained like this until early the next morning when a few people were awake. Daryl didnt waste any time and took off into the woods once he had wiped the sleep away from his eyes, crossbow in hand. He was gone for a bit, maybe an hour or two but returned with a few squirrels and a rabbit. They would be eating decently for breakfast. Himself, Rick, Glenn, T-Dog, and Maggie were all helping skin the animals and cook them over the fire that they built back up from last night. Once the meat was done, everyone got passed an equal amount and were eating. Some chatting was finally going on, but mainly about survival and their plans ahead. There is a street just a mile down the road that they plan to search later today. Maybe find a place to stay for a few days and keep on the move until they get the prison cleared. It wouldnt make since to send everyone to attack the prison at one time. They could get overrun and trapped easily. They literally had all the time in the world and sacrificing a few months for something that can hopefully last forever would be fine. As they ate the meal, Daryl finally sat down on one of the logs where the last seat was open, beside Nora whom was beside Beth. After swallowing a big bite, he looked to the blonde woman that he hoped would stay with them. How you feelin? He asked.
