3rd Pov. 

The cold air has slightly begun to settle for now and nothing more is being said for the moment as Mike is going to try and get Kenny to ease up on Arvo despite everything that had happened. Mike tells him to ease up, but Kenny looks back and is steadfast in his conviction. 

Kenny: He's getting what he deserves. 

He turns back to Arvo. 

Kenny: I'm fucking talking to you. I say stop, you'd best stop. If you know what's good for you.

While Mike and Bonnie aren't very comfortable with Kenny's attitude toward Arvo, the others are rather in between on it. Y/n looks at Arvo and shrugs, not caring to say anything else; Clementine however thought he was getting exactly what he deserved. 

Clementine: He deserves it. 

Mike: He deserves to be treated like a human being. That's all I'm saying.

Molly: Yeah, well, maybe that would apply if this bag of dicks hadn't led his friends to us. You know? To rob us. It's crazy how much you care for an asshole that was just trying to kill us an hour ago. 

Mike: He made a mistake. And for the record it was his people, not him. 

Molly: My point still stands. 

Clementine: After what he did? What happened back there was his fault!

Y/n: Yeah. Sure we took his pills, but even if we hadn't he probably would have still gotten his friends to rob us. And by the way, he also lied about their purpose. Saying it was for his sister. As...

He sighs. 

Y/n: ...I've explained before. 

Carley: Hate to say it, but the kid's getting what he deserves. 

Bonnie looks at Arvo, then back to the others. 

Bonnie: He lost all his people in one fell swoop. Ain't much we could do to him that'd be worse than that. Kenny, please. Ease up on him.

Kenny looks at Arvo. 

Kenny: Just fucking stay put. 

Mike: I'm gonna have a word with Kenny. He doesn't have to treat him that way. Kid's been through enough. You alright here?

Bonnie: Yeah, yeah. Go on and talk to him. I got Molly or Carley if I need anything.

Mike: Okay. 

Bonnie goes to hand the baby to Mike, but Molly walks over and gently grabs him out of her hands. The two look at her and Molly speaks up before they can say anything to them. 

Molly: I'm not letting you use the baby as a shield so Kenny doesn't hit you. Want me to tell you how to not get knocked on your ass? 

Mike: Enlighten me. 

Molly: Try not to piss him off. 

Mike rolls his eyes. 

Mike: Thanks. 

Mike walks over to Kenny while Molly holds the baby and the others are around. Luke is sitting on a log as Bonnie tends to his leg; Y/n is sitting on the ground near the log as the heat from his body melts the snow in a small area around him. Clementine joins him and Carley goes over to Molly as she holds the baby. Despite not seeming like the type, Molly is really good with taking care of the baby. 

Carley: (Grins) And how are you liking the baby so far? 

Molly chuckles. 

Molly: Well he's at least...quiet. Most babies would be crying their eyes out by now for no damn reason.
