Daryl had the same scars as James.
That was pretty much the only thing running through Robin's mind when she saw his exposed torso, covered in the scars of his youth. Hershel was patching him up because as it turns out, Andrea trying to kill him wasn't the only thing Daryl had gone through since Robin had left him in the woods.
According to him, he had almost died and had even started hallucinating. What he had seen, he wouldn't tell, but by the sound of it, it hadn't been a happy hallucination. And Robin, for one, couldn't say that she was having a happy hallucination right now, either. She knew what the scars meant, where they had probably come from.
And because she knew that, she was glad Daryl didn't notice her looking at him because if he did, he probably wouldn't appreciate her staring. But she couldn't help it. The scars just reminded her so much of James.
Daryl's attention was fixed on the map Rick had laid out on the mattress beside him. The officer was asking about the doll. He wanted to know where Daryl had found it, so Daryl pointed at the spot on the map that showed the creek and said, "Robin and I found it washed up on the creek bed right there. She must've dropped it crossing there somewhere."
Robin fidgeted with her fingers. Her eyes shifted across the room, finding the dirty rag doll. She had once made one herself, though that was many years ago.
Rick looked over his shoulder. His gaze went right past Robin to Shane, who sat on a chair in the corner of the room. "Cuts the grid almost in half."
"Yeah, you're welcome," Daryl huffed.
Now, his eyes finally found Robin. A sneer coated his expression. She quickly looked away from him again, the floor seeming very interesting all of a sudden. Guilt weighed heavy on her—at least partly. There was still a tiny voice in the back of her head telling her that he hadn't died, so it was okay to think that he deserved it for being such an asshole.
Rick sighed. "How's he looking?"
Hershel shook his head. "I had no idea we'd be going through the antibiotics so quickly."
