10k would be seen with a nurse, she took his temperature and ensured he was alright, along with doing additional tests such as serval reflex tests making sure 10k wasn't suffering from anything. The nurse reassured him.

"Your quite healthy, much healthier than the others that were brought here".

10k looked across the room to the body guards that were positioned there to fight him if he had done anything that would be seen as aggressive.

"Thanks you ma'am".

"Respectful... I like this one... next will be testing your reaction speed and after that you'll say what you eat for the last week".

10k nods as he does what the nurse says the other people in the room being disgusted what 10k had consumed to survive, minutes later merle would enter the room.

"Nice moves back there kid trust never gonna happen again".

Merle grabbed a seat moving it across the room to sit down as 10k couldn't help but stare at his hand, merle raised the metal that prevented 10k from seeing his stump.

"Cool isn't it" he says.

10k smirks "yeah chopped it off yourself".

"Yep... group I was with left me to die, had to say goodbye to my hand, missed it ever sense harder to do... you know" merle making a hand gesture that wasn't so appropriate.

"Did you keep your hand" 10k asked.

Merle laughed "no... looking back at it I should have but it wasn't my list of priorities and all, now what about you, I know what's it like to survive out there, all on my own must have been hell" merle states becoming more serious the longer the sentence came along.

"It wasn't easy for sure" 10k simply replied.

"Your not much of a talker, I understand, how about you get a good hot meal in you and we'll continue this discussion tomorrow".

10k nods before merle was about to leave he questioned him.

"My weapons".

"Sorry kid, can't have anybody carrying weapons in the community especially a teenager".

10k remained silent as merle shrugged.

"Get some sleep kid, your gonna need it".

Merle left as 10k meet Philip, Philip apologies.

"Sorry merle means better than he looks".

"It's fine, he was kinda nice". 10 replies.

"Well looks like you saw the best merle... besides him drawing a gun on you... you look healthy, how you feeling, strange atmosphere I bet, being surrounded by stranger that aren't dead or don't want to kill you".

"It's different, reminds me of my old group, they were kind people".

"You survived the impossible, half a year on your own, I'd be lucky to have a some like you around, your not a threat right now, no offense but you certainly have an ability like not anyone".

"And that is" 10k said curiously.

"You adapted, quicker than most, and not just that but 6 months alone in the cold hard winter and your not just fine but your thriving, but most importantly your not insane, can count the many people we were forced to put down since they were a threat to either themselves or others, sad to see but your eyes they tell me your not like that".

There was a brief silence before he continues "Alright get some sleep... I do hope you stay though, my men will show you to a house to stay in for the night but if you choose you can leave right at the morning with rations, a sleeping bag and even a car if you can drive".
