Kit and Daryl tripped and stumbled over each other as they raced out of their room, bows in hand, when carl came shouting about Andrea's arrival. They were on ricks heels, and merle was on theirs. they moved discreetly, hiding behind different barricades they put out strategically, mostly vehicles. "open the gate!" Andrea demanded, holding onto a walker on a lead.
"are you alone?!" Rick yelled.
"rick!" she pleaded. Rick tossed Daryl the keys, and kit moved closer to him as he unlocked it. Both jumped back as merle opened it, Andrea rushing in as it was shut and locked again. Rick immediately puts her at gunpoint.
"hands up! Turn around" he shoved her up against the fence, patting her down before allowing her inside. Kit followed them into the common area, trying to resist glaring at the woman as she moved to stand by a table. Daryl sat on the table, his finger sliding into one of kits belt loops, yanking her back and keeping her close. He didn't forget the temper she always had with the woman; the small interaction certainly didn't go unnoticed by his brother, though.
"Hershel, oh my god," Andrea gasped, blatantly staring at the missing part of his leg. "I can't believe this. where's Lori?" she asked, staring at rick, who didn't answer
"she had a girl. Lori didn't survive." Hershel answered
"I'm so sorry-" she set her eyes on carl "carl," she started, but she dropped it after registering his expressionless face. turning to rick instead, who was staring at Daryl having a silent conversation. "rick, I-" he didn't respond to her or even look over, "you all live here?"
"here and the cell block," Glenn answered.
"there?" she asked, pointing to the entrance. He nodded
"well, can I go in?" she stepped forward, rick stepping in her way " I won't allow that."
"I'm not the enemy, rick."
"We had that field and courtyard until your boyfriend tore down the fence with a truck and shot us up."
"he said that you fired first."
"that's a damn lie," T-dog piped up; kit looked to the door, hearing Judith. Daryl removed his finger and patted her leg; rick nodded at her as she left, their voices getting farther the closer she got to her room where Beth was hiding. she opened the door to see Beth pacing with an angry Judith; kit chuckled as she set her bow and quiver down
"oh, thank god. is everything alright?" Beth asked, rushing to the woman handing her Judith; kit tossed the blanket on her shoulder
"all fine, just Andrea making a house call," she muttered, getting Judith situated, her cries disappearing, her fingers softly scratching and pinching kits skin as she fed. Beth gave kit a wide smile before leaving; kit proceeded to sing Hey Jude; the baby's fidgeting almost immediately halted. After a while, kit just bounced Judith. The girl getting mad that kit wouldn't let her eat her hair, she gave her the binky and stuffed duck instead. kit looked up to see Andrea standing in her doorway. "coming to meet little ass-kicker, I assume?" Andrea smiled, moving closer
"May I hold her?" kit hesitated but nodded, giving her a small smile "course" before handing her to the woman, "got her?"
"I got her. Oh, look at you. let me guess, Daryl named her ass-kicker?" kit laughed but nodded "her name is actually Judith" Andrea smiled, looking back down, "hi, Judith. oh, how precious are you?" she looked back up to kit "what happened to Lori?"
"a horde came thru; some were separated. Maggie had to perform a C-section, and carl had to."
"oh, my god," Andrea shook her head, "ricks become cold. unsteady."
