Sawyer, Aasim, Clementine, Louis, and AJ walk through the forest.

"Hunting grounds are usually clear of walkers. Sometimes they get caught in the snares and shit, though. You see a ribbon on a tree, traps are nearby. So watch where you step."Aasim says warning the others

Louis scoffs "Please. I think I can handle myself. I'm basically a ninja. Skilled in the craft of martial arts."

"Oh, you too? I thought I was the only one." Clementine jokes

"Me too."

Clementine and AJ pose like ninjas.

"Oh, my god." Aasim groans

Sawyer taps Clementine's shoulder the points to Louis and makes a flapping mouth gesture with his hand

"Sawyer's right your too loud to be a ninja" Clementine chuckles, Sawyer chuckling quieter

"We've got work to do. Not all of us have the privilege of being Marlon's lapdog." Aasim looks over his shoulder at Louis, Sawyer nodding with agreement

"Oh, ouch! Someone's a little jealous... In my defense, I totally get things done. I just prefer to think of survival as more of a...day-to-day task. So, you know--don't sweat the technique." Louis tries to defend himself

Sawyer scoffs and barges past Louis and walks ahead of the group

"Ouch someone can't take a joke" Louis rubs his arm.

"Why do you always find a way to irritate him?" Clementine asks with a raised eyebrow

"Not sure but he clearly can't tell when someone is joking" Louis answers

"No one can afford to be short-sighted. You have to have a backup plan if you want to survive." Clementine says looking at Sawyer who Louis offended with his words

"Damn right. You think you're clever, but you think way too small." Aasim nods waving through the brush using the end of his bow, combining those the overgrown brush

"Hey, look. I don't need approval from anybody. I've kept myself alive this long doin' what I'm doin', so..." Louis shrugs

"You act like you're the only one with a strategy. I play the long game. You've gotta have plans B, C, and D." Aasim says explaining himself

"And what if you don't make it that far?" Louis asks

Sawyer crouches down and puts his his finger to his masks mouth

"Shh, shut up a second." Clementine does the same

"What is it?" Clementine puts her hand on Sawyer shoulder peaking over him

A walker growls nearby, and the group draws their weapons. They find that a walker has been caught by one of the traps.

"Ha! Hey, check this guy out. He's like a walker piñata!" Louis pokes the walker's head with Chairles.

"Cut it down, fix the snare, and let's go." Aasim says in a orderly tone

"I will, I will! Eventually." Louis keeps poking the walker

"If you want food for the kid, I could use a hand. Or you can mess around with this idiot and starve. It's up to you." Aasim says looking at the trap

Louis mocks Aasim "Or you can starve. So dramatic."

Sawyer sighs pulling one of his smaller throwing knives from the holsters strapped to his outer thigh and quickly throws it the blade flying into the walker's head inches away from Louis

"Whoa hey!" Louis backs up looking at the knife, walker blood now running down the edge of the blade dripping onto the long foliage under the hanging walker
