According to Daryl we weren't too far from the farm once we made out way around our fight zone,but I continued to forcefully stop Daryl every now and then for a break. Even though this only confused our location to me.Now,why I forced him to stop? Even if he wanted to act like a badass, the obvious pain he was in couldn't be masked by his smirking face.I watched him as he leaned back against a tree his fingers tightening the fabric around his wound.

"The second we get back I need to clean that and properly treat it,"he looked up at sound of my voice and gave me another smirk once his eyes had locked onto mine.

"You gonna be my nurse or something."

I just shrugged,"If it means you willingly laying down to receive stitches,I'll even throw in me dressed in a skimpy nurse outfit." I laughed hoping my sarcasm was obvious but as I saw his eyes widen and change as he looked at me I slightly regretted it.He does know that me even finding an outfit like that is impossible with the dead walking,right? Why would I even do that in the first place?

"We should start walking again,"I nodded even though I had been looking away before going over and helping him stand up.

My eyes trailed back over to that thing he was now wearing around his neck,we had a very short conversation about it,but that was it.Why would he want to wear walker ears as a necklace? I couldn't stop my eyes from staying pinpointed on the fact that he actually went up to the walkers,now dead officially,cut off three ears and attached them to a string...Is this a redneck thing that I just don't understand or what?

I just laughed internally and looked away from him,I'm just never gonna get a sane answer for this am I? Clearing my throat I spoke,"How much farther do you think it'll be?" He looked at me with a raised eyebrow to which I sighed and said,"I rather it not get dark while we're still in here."

"Oh,"he pointed straight ahead,"We go that way,it shouldn't be too long."

We began to walk again,though slowly until I reached over and pulled his crossbow away from him,he reached out to grab back but I pulled it out of reach."I rather you not fall cause of this."

I heard him mumble, "What an annoying nurse,"before walking ahead of me in slight annoyance.

I am an annoying nurse though, that's one thing even the sergeant major would constantly say to me.I felt my smile fall as I imagined the man's angry face whenever I would defy his orders to care for the wounded soldiers,Every time I would baby him cause of even the smallest wound he carried only for him to get back at me later because of the humiliation he felt.Then I thought of how worried he was when I was struck near my neck artery,he stayed by my side as much as he could which is extremely difficult as a sergeant major.I hope he is at least still alive,if not...I've really lost everyone.

I wouldn't say it out loud but I was a little disappointed when only Carol and Lori came in saying they were going to cook for everyone as a thank you,I found out a sort while later from listening in that Y/N had disappeared into the woods like everyone else.This apparently angered one of them as she wasn't supposed to go into the forest,especially on her own.I was hoping she would be the one cooking me food,I picked up a table that I had gone to go get to enlarge the dining area.I set it down as a thought came into my head,can Y/N even cook?
