AFTER SEARCHING the house, the two found a small cabinet with a blanket inside. but no sophia, although they did still have a lead.
sighing, lilac walked out before daryl did. and her gaze was set on a beautiful white flower. daryl watched her from afar, how she was so mesmerised by a single plant.
"it's a cherokee rose." he told her as he knelt beside her. "the story is that when american soldiers were moving indians off their land on the trails of tears, the cherokee mothers were grieving and crying so much 'cause they were losing their little ones along the way, from exposure and disease and starvation. a lot of them just disappeared. so the elders, they said a prayer; asked for a sign to uplift the mother's spirits, give them strength and hope. the next day this rose started to grow right where the mothers tears fell. i'm not fool enough to think there's any flowers blooming for my brother..." he paused as he looked at lilac.
"but for sophia." lilac finished for him and he nodded in return. "you should take the flower to carol, tell her what you just told me. maybe not including merle." she laughed slightly and she saw his top lip twitch a little.
he nodded and careful picked the flower. the two then made their way back to the farm house, with a bit more spirit than beforehand.

WHEN LILAC AND DARYL returned. she sent him away with the cherokee rose to give carol. not knowing what to do, lilac began searching for glenn.
the two hadn't spoke since carl's accident. as she walked through what their group had made 'camp' instead of running into glenn, she ran into dale.
"well aren't you a sight for sore eyes." he smiled at the younger grimes. "afternoon dale." lilac replied as both dale and her began walking towards the a small table and bench beside the RV.
"anything interesting happen while i was out?" lilac asked as they sat at the table opposite eachother. "well, glenn almost died trying to get a walker out of the well." dale sighed. "died?!" lilac said slightly uneasy.
"oh don't you worry, he is okay. the plan didn't go well and now we can't use one of the wells, other than that. nothing interesting." he told her. "on the topic of glenn, where is he?" lilac asked.
"went on a run into town with maggie. should be back any moment." dale spoke as he stood up beginning to search for something in his bag. "what're you looking for?a book?" she asked him.
"if i knew the world was coming to an end i would of brought much better books." he paused. "but no, i'm looking for something different, something that belonged to my wife." he told her.
