Walkers. [He says it as if that explained everything. At her continued blank look, he elaborates.] The dead people. Y'know. ...Ain't never heard the name before?

[He stops abruptly at the shuffle over around the next bend, one hand raised in what should be a universal 'hold up, don't move'. Daryl immediately falls into a hunting stance, back bowed forward and arms stock straight. Moving ahead, he doesn't make a sound despite the fallen leaves and branches and debris at his feet. There's a gurgling moan around the corner, and he rounds it without a sound and fires his bow. The geek is down in a rumpled, bloody heap in under a second.]

A'right. [He'll just be retrieving that arrow now, not minding the gore as he tears his prized arrow from its rotten skull.] Let's keep movin'.

No, never. [She answers him softly, distracted, taking delight in watching how he stalks his prey and makes his kill. She finds herself smiling in approval, particularly when he retrieves his arrow. It is a basic survival skill that only people who are used to having to fight to live will think to do.

She now approves of running through the city with him, and finds herself much more at ease. She stops jumping at every noise and actually listens to their surroundings.]

You are used to these undead. The geeks, yes? You have encountered them before?

[At least she's not disgusted with it. She actually looks quite intrigued, if anything. Good. The last thing he needs right now is some pussy squeamish girl who can't take care of herself.]

Yeah. Back home. World was full of 'em then, is full of 'em now. Real or fake don't make any difference to me. Still kill 'em the same as always.

Back in my home, there is nothing like this. But I am used to living in the woods. There is nothing like any of this there. But like you, I am used to killing. I was just responsible for a different kind of target.

[She hears the sound of something creeping up around the corner from behind them and spins around. On instinct she takes aim and hurls the machete at the creature, the blade coming in contact with its head.]

Do not wait for me if you feel you should keep moving.

[And she hurries to go retrieve her weapon, while finishing off the creature at the same time. She glances around to see if there are more, and catches sight of a small handful headed her way.]

Or on second thought, perhaps hurrying is in order!

[She wipes her blade off on a nearby lamp post before running as fast as she can in the opposite direction.]

We should take shelter nearby.
