A New Verge

Inquisitive Travelers

"Clementine?! How could you do....how could you...do.. Bonnie like this? Oh God." Arvo responded, seeing his long time friend bleeding out on the ground. He was in such shock, he didn't even know how to take it all in. He couldn't seem to take it in, and it was upsetting regardless, considering Bonnie was the closest thing he had to a mother. His mother had died early in the beginning of the apocalypse, and that was years ago. His sister, Natasha, and his father were long gone now. All he had was Mike and Bonnie. Now, Bonnie was gone.

"Arvo, I did what I had to do...Bonnie is the reason so many people are dead. She's the reason Luke's dead. She's the reason Kenny and Jane attacked each other. She didn't deserve to live." Clementine spoke, clear as day. Her tone was honest, with no hint of remorse. She glanced down to the redhead briefly, before making her way to begin to rummage through the train car for some supplies.

"Oh God....Oh God." Arvo spoke, sinking his head into his hands and sliding back against the wall. It was clear all the loss was catching up to him now that he had lost someone important again. "I'm sorry, Bonnie. I'm sorry Clementine..." Arvo spoke, Mike quickly coming over to the young boy and sliding his arm around him.

"It's gon' be alright, Arvo." Mike soothed, rubbing his hand along Arvo's arm. He watched as the boy moved to hide against his shoulder, smiling some at his actions.

"You have every right to be sorry. You did shoot me after all." Clementine responded, bluntly, a devious little smirk in her eyes. But soon, she dropped it, realizing how upset Arvo and Mike were. "But...I'm sorry too." Clem sighed, her human side coming out again.

Gabe just sort of stared at Clem, amazed with the control she had of the situation. These people were genuinely afraid of her, oddly enough. He moved to search for things as well. It was amusing because he was almost immediately next to Clementine, not wanting to stray too far with these strange people around.

Clementine was still searching through each cabinet, hoping for some supplies. Of course it would be a help out there. Clementine glanced up from where she was, speaking to Mike and Arvo. "AJ...he's still alive. Gabe and I are going to find him. You're...more than welcome to come if you want. It's only a bit of travel." Clem spoke, not yet inviting the two to Richmond, as she wasn't sure she could trust them. At least if they came along to the McCarroll Ranch, she could see if they truly were interested in trying to fix the broken relationship. Clem opened a drawer , taking out some of the clothes and sifting through them. There was an apple scarf that had red apples and a black and green background. It definitely was an ugly little scarf, but Clementine's eyes lit up at the sight. Apples were her favorite after all.

Instantly, she picked it up and tied the scarf around her neck, feeling proud. "Are you really going to wear that?" Gabe asked, smirking. Gabe couldn't help but chuckle some, which insanely resulted into a playful jab to his ribs from Clementine.

Clementine narrowed her eyes into deadly slits at him, which instantly caused him to cower back. "Of course I am." She snapped. "If you have any issues with it, you can stay here with Bonnie." Clementine smirked back at him, nudging him aside and continuing to search through the various compartment for supplies.

Mike finally spoke again, responding for the pair. "We'll come along." Mike spoke, thinking more about safety in number than anything. It seemed Clementine wasn't out for his blood or Arvo's, and she definitely was capable of helping keep Arvo safe. It seemed like the most logical idea.

"Okay then. We leave in the morning. Gabe and I are going to find somewhere to sleep. We leave as soon as the sun rises." 

An excitement began to build in Clementine as she followed Mike and Arvo to the cabin with red cushioned benches. It looked like they had been living here for a while. There were blankets, pillows, clothes, and other supplies strewn threw the cabin. Clementine saw that they had a string with bells tied outside the train car's windows and door in case any walkers began to approach. It was a fairly good setup, and she was surprised they had thought of anything like this. Clementine went over to the warming plate, lighting the gas and letting it warm before preparing a pot of pasta, that Mike had given her to cook for dinner.
