Slater

Me and Slater just hit a curb
Bunnyhop, zone out listening to N.E.R.D

"So," Isaiah digs his knife into the head of a walker, the sour blood spurts out of it as he pulls the blade out. "What's your story?" "You're asking me that now?" Clementine kicks a walker's knees, causing it to drop, and swiftly stabs it in the head. "Well, no time like the present." Isaiah says, slicing a rope, causing a bolder to fall on a walker. Clementine chuckles slightly, before attacking another. "Let's get out of this alive, first."

Isaiah smiles. This girl fascinated him. Seemed tough as nails. He thought about that trick she did, knocking a walker down. So, he decides to test it out, kicking the nearest walker's shins, but backfiring horribly, since he overestimated his aim. He misses the walker's leg, and slips slightly. "Shit!" He stabs the walker in the guts, and then the head, before looking around to make sure nobody saw that.

He looks at her, almost inspecting her, when he realises he's seen her before. "Hey..." he calls over to her. "By any chance, did you...did you rob me two years ago?" Clem looks at him, puzzled. "Two years ago, I think that's my old knife you're using!" He says, smiling at the coincidence. She looks down at the knife, then back at him, and gasps. "Shit! God, I'm so sorry! It's just I had AJ with me, we didn't have a lot, and I-" she starts apologising profusely, but is cut off by Isaiah's laughter. "Don't worry about it! I totally get it. Besides, I went home after that run in, it's just funny that we're meeting again!"

"Not bad, Clem!" Louis calls over, telling her about the traps that are scattered around. "He's flirting with her. This'll be good." Isaiah thinks to himself, smiling at the thought. Now he can tease Louis, instead of being teased about Brody. "Y'know, you're gonna love Lamar." He jogs over to Clementine, who is effortlessly fighting off walkers. "That so?" She strains. "Yup," he stabs one in the throat, moving his knife up to stab its brain. "He's my goat." "Goat?" Clem looks at him. "It's his dorky way of saying his friend." Violet jumps in. "Shut up, Vi." Isaiah laughs.

In the distance, the light of a torch is visible. "C'mon! We'll meet 'em halfway!" Marlon calls.
The group becomes more visible, and they seem to have caught a couple things. Lamar is trailing at the back, holding a single rabbit. "Hey, man!" Isaiah walks over to him. "You okay?" "Yeah, just...one of the traps malfunctioned. Cut my arm somethin' fierce." Blood is soaking his sleeve. "Shit, you gotta get that patched up. C'mon."
Brody walks next to the two.
"Yeah, thank God he's okay. Big slice down his arm. Ruby can help you, though. Don't worry, Lamar." Isaiah smiles at her.
She nods, and walks back to Aasim, to defuse another argument.

Whilst Isaiah is helping Lamar carry his stuff, Lamar chuckles lowly. "You gotta tell her how you feel, dude."
Isaiah feels his face heat up.
"Shut up!" He smiles and nudges him in the stomach. "Go introduce yourself." He says, pointing Lamar in the direction of Clementine. "You'll like her. She's a total badass."
