[The smoldering, overrun compound that used to be Terminus is left behind as Carol jumps the fence and lets herself out, taking advantage of the heavy blanket flopped over barbed wire that Rick's group must have used. She ignores the screams of those still living and the inhuman growls of walkers as they feed themselves into a frenzy. It might seem cruel of her, if one was blissfully unaware of the goings-on inside those fences just before the flames and rampaging began.]
[A brief glance at the surroundings, assessing the footprints and parted underbrush (she picked up a few tracking skills... here and there... ) and quickly she determines which way they went. Carol was quite serious when she told Tyrese she has no intention of staying, but first she has to find them. Make sure her efforts were worth it and they all got out, and most importantly reunite Rick and Carl with Judith, Sasha with Tyrese. So she goes, stomach churning despite how calm she'd felt while unleashing destruction on Terminus and its twisted population.]
[She hasn't quite let go of the hope that she won't have to leave, but she's prepared to.]
[Her face and hair are caked with red clay, and she's wearing clothing covered in entrails -- not just spatter, but as though she rolled and splashed inside a fresh, open corpse. In one hand is an automatic rifle, in the other a crossbow. She looks like she's been through a brutal war.]
[She has. She won.]

Making light of the plague that she sold her soul trying to prevent is just not on her list of great qualities. Not that she ever would leave him really; he's Daryl's brother. But he is talented at making people think about doing crazy things just to get him to shut up. Or maybe she's not as far on the right side of the line as she thought. It's not the easiest moment to tell, given what she's wearing and what she just did.]
[Carol doesn't reply, just pauses to try and decipher which way the trail leads. Probably best that she keep her mouth shut, nothing good can some of engaging in that line of discussion.]

Date: 2014-10-20 05:38 pm (UTC)[He hums, mainly to himself. Plenty of people've done some crazy shit to shut Merle up, including leaving him to die an ugly fucking death of exposure. He's too much of a self-assured asshole to worry about what she might do. Besides, he at least knows her well enough to think she wouldn't take him out, if only for Daryl's sake.
After a beat, he offers up,]
Left.

Date: 2014-10-21 12:49 am (UTC)Thanks. [It's not really gratitude, just reflex. And so left she goes.]
[As soon as she's closer she's got to get out of this outfit. It's starting to really get to her, the smell.]

Date: 2014-10-21 01:18 am (UTC)The only reason he wants to talk is 'cos she doesn't, getting on other people's nerves is his number one hobby.]
So where you gonna go if the Sheriff turns his back on your heroic rescue?
[It's a testament to how impressed he is that he's actually half curious, not entirely just taunting her.]
no subject
Date: 2014-10-21 12:09 pm (UTC)Tell him where to find his little girl and be off. [His words are automatic, a foregone conclusion. She can make it on her own. Maybe she wants to. Being with them again after all that happened, Carol has no idea how it'll feel.]

[Compliment??? Who knows.]
