The Walking Dead: No Turning Back ( Male Reader x Clementine )

Chapter 85: The Reunion Nobody Wanted

3rd Person POV: ( Location: Richmond )

Javi: Nice to meet you, too.

Joan: I trust you've been treated well? I hope you haven't been handled too roughly.

Andy: Yeah, if it has been... rough. We're terribly sorry.

Javi: No. No need. I feel like I'm home at last.

Joan: I hope Richmond can become your home. I know David would like that. And nothing pleases me more than seeing families reunited.

Andy: Sadly, my family died. I had a brother and a mother.

Javi: Walkers?

Andy: No. Some crazy lunatic killed them for no reason, been hunting him down ever since.

Javi: I'm... terribly sorry.

Andy: It's fine. You weren't involved.

Clint: *scoffs, then turns to his food*

Joan: We were just about to eat.

Two different foods can be seen on the table. A chocolate cake, and a healthy spinach.

Joan: Clint was trying to convince me of the essential superiority of his creamed spinach over my magnificent black forest gateau.

Clint: It's no contest. The spinach has real nutritional value.

Andy: *whispering to Javi* See what I have to deal with?

Joan: Javi, take a look at that table. You tell me what you'd rather put in your belly.

Javi approaches the table to get a better look.

Joan: Spinach from Clint's garden, heh? Or a baked delicacy by yours truly...

Javi: I'd have to go with that cake. I haven't seen anything like that in years.

Clint: Ugh. Suit yourself.

Joan: Come on, Clint. At least he's being honest.

Clint walks over and sits down on a chair.

Joan: *to Javi* Please, make yourself comfortable.

Javi and David then sit down on some church benches, whilst Joan and Andy take a seat near Clint on the opposite side of the two brothers.

Joan: We value straight talk here, so please... forgive me if I seem direct. We're usually pretty strict about who we open our doors to. Your brother's word counts for a lot.

Javi: *crosses his arms* Is that so?

Joan: The four of us, and Doctor Lingard, make all the decisions here. So, yeah.

Clint: People who choose to stay with us, they have to deal with us bossing them around. Not saying you wouldn't but, it can be an adjustment.

Andy: Especially for the more... independent, minded. Mainly because there's no structure out there anymore. Everyone here get used to doing what they please.

Javi: *chuckles* Don't worry. I always do what I'm told. Ask my older brother.

Joan: You're gonna fit in well, Javi. I can see that already.

Andy: *sadly* Brother's are the best, aren't they?

David: You can say that again.

Clint: When we met your brother he was trying his hand at fruit.

Javi: *turns to David* Fruit?

David smiles and shakes his head.

Clint: We found him slowly murdering an orchard on the Shenandoah River.
