The Walking Dead Clementine X Male Reader

Chapter 44: The Lodge

You, Clem, and Kenny, walk inside a beautifully decorated lodge after the man holds the door open for you. You all stop walking and look up at all of the decorations.

Man: Kenny and Sarita have been staying with us for several weeks. Used to be a ski lodge, obviously, so we have plenty of food. And believe it or not, we still get some power from that wind turbine out front. He says, as you all start walking up the stairs. We tend to keep most of the lights off at night to avoid drawing attention.

Kenny stops halfway and turns around to mime about the man talking to you and Clem, making you both giggle a little.

Man: But after we found this stuff in storage, we couldn't resist making an exception.

The man turns around.

Man: What's funny?

Kenny turns around.

Kenny: Oh, nothin', Walt.

Kenny walks up the stairs and stands next to Walter and turns around.

Kenny: Walter here is one smart son of a bitch.

He pats Walter on the back.

Kenny: Makes a mean can of beans too.

Walter: Well, why don't you two catch up while I get some dinner started?

Nick, Luke, Rebecca, and Alvin enter the lodge.

Walter: Please, make yourselves at home. You can leave your things over there. He says, gesturing to a foyer.

Rebecca: The hell we will.

Nick: Yeah, I'm holdin' onto my rifle, thanks.

Walter: You're our guests here. There's no need to worry.

Nick: Tell him to put his gun down, then.

Walter: Kenny?

Kenny: Will you vouch for these people, kids? If you guys tell me they're good, then I'm good.

Nick: Us? You were the one wavin' a gun around, man.

Luke: We're cool, okay? Hey, hey, we're cool, we're cool.

Kenny: Kids?

Clem: They're cool.

You: Well, we... can't exactly speak for everyone. You say, scratching the back of your neck. But most of them are cool.

Carlos, Sarah, and Sarita enter the lodge. Sarah looks at the Christmas tree.

Sarah: Dad! Look! A Christmas tree!

Carlos: Not now, Sarah.

Sarita: Isn't it great? We found it all in storage.

Sarah: It's amazing.

Kenny and Sarita exchange glances. Kenny sets his rifle down in the foyer, and the group puts all of their stuff down. Clementine also puts her backpack down. Everyone starts walking upstairs. You walk over to Clem's bag and you put your new knife in it.

Sarita: Good. If you'll all follow me, I'll show you where you can sleep.

You, Clem, and Kenny walk over to a couch next to a fireplace and you all sit down. There's an awkward silence for a moment.

Kenny: Still wearin' these dirty old things, huh? He says, tapping both of your hats. So, uh... what happened to Lee? Did the amputation work?

You: Yeah, it did.

He smiles in relief.

Kenny: No shit. What happened after we got split up?

You: Well, first; we thought you were dead. Second; we stuck to the rooftops and made our way over to the Marsh House. Well, I did, anyway.
