Violet goes over to their table.

"What's the game tonight, Lou?" Marlon asks

"War. The oldest game around. A game played by man and beast alike. The only game there is. you playing Sawyer?" Louis asks Sawyer who was still standing near the table

Sawyer unfolds his arms and looks at the group at the table

"Cmon you never play" Marlonsays encouraging Sawyer

Sawyer sighs and walks over sitting opposite Clementine

"Sounds fun. How do we play?"

"It's easy. Everyone gets a stack of cards, everyone flips one over. Highest card wins." Violet explains

"And the winner gets to ask Clem a question. What? I want to get to know you. We all do." Louis adds

"And what if I win?" Clementine asks

"Then you get to ask us one. It's only fair." Louis says "Sawyer you got your note pad?"

Sawyer reaches into his jacket rummaging around for a minute before shaking his head only pulling out a pen

"Wait, what about AJ?" Clementine asks

"What about him? Looks like he's made a friend." Marlon points at AJ is at Tenn's table. Tenn is drawing a in sketchbook.

"C'mon, you can take your eyes off him for one card game. I'll bet you both could use a break from each other." Marlon smiles

"Yeah, maybe. This is his first time around anyone his own age. Sometimes he acts more like an adult than a kid. It's nice to see him act like a little boy again." Clementine smiles looking over at AJ

"Louis? If you would?" Marlon says

Everyone flips over their cards.

"Way to go, me. So about AJ... Where are AJ's parents? You two don't really look related, so... What happened there?" Violet asks

"His dad was killed by some asshole." Clementine asks

"And his mom?" Violet asks

"Long story, sad story." Clementine adds

"It makes sense. He's a nice kid." Louis says

"For the most part." Clementine smiles

Everyone flips over their cards a second time

"Hey, I win." Clementine grins

"Hey, you do. So what do you want to know?" Louis asks

"Worst injury you ever saw?" Clementine asks

"I saw a walker get hit in the head so hard, both his eyeballs flew out. Pretty cool." Violet says gloating

"I saw someone have their intestines pulled all the way out. Like, ALL the way. It goes on for a while. We got a lot of guts." Louis adds

Sawyer taps Clementine's hand then gestures to his knife then slowly charades a knife going from his gut to his neck in a gutting fashion then mimics everything falling out

"You watched someone get gutted when?!" Marlon asks in which Sawyer just spins his hand around indicating a long time ago

"That's totally not concerning..." Marlon says

"I saw this guy get his face beaten in with a crowbar. Badly. There wasn't even any skin left." Clementine says

"Ouch."

"He deserved it." Clementine says coldly

"Did the guy you saw get gutted deserve it?" Clementine asks noticing Sawyer's demeanor change
