She nodded slowly, barely glancing at the young woman next to her, "He's smart, he'll find some way to get back to you as long as you look for him." Fiona went silent after her words, opening up her bag and digging through before pulling out a tiny bag of still sealed beef jerkey. She offered it out to Molly to open, only a tiny sparkle in her eyes showing that she was proud of the find, "Don't eat all of it, save me half and you can have the rest. And yes I'm very well aware that it's out of date. It's quite hard to find anything with a decent best by date on it."
Molly takes a piece but not the whole bag. “You kidding? I’m surprised you got to this! Where’d you find it?” She takes a small bite of the meat , savoring the taste.
Oh my wORD it’s been ages since I’ve had any meat.
Apollyon nodded at Cam and leaned against Clovis’ shoulder again. “Nice to meet you Cameron. I’m Apollyon, and this is Clovis. Sorry for intruding and scaring you. We thought this place was still abandoned.” Her tail flicked lazily, and she yawned.
"oh it's abandoned me and my brother just happened to stumble upon it and have been here for a while and didn't think anyone else was here." She noticed the way they were and smiled slight, "you guys are a cute couple."
Apollyon’s face flushed, and her eyes shot open and she quickly pulled away from Clovis, waving her hands frantically, “No, no, no! It’s not like that! We were just close friends for awhile and uh- um…” Her brain was short circuiting from the embarrassment.
(How the holy f**k does “awhile” autocorrect into “Swahili”???)
Clovis, half asleep, only nods when Apolyon apologizes and stares with his eyes half closed at the wall.
I know I said I’d take first watch but I’m about to fall asleep.
He forces his eyes completely open and looks to Cam, having not caught her last sentence. “Hm?”
Cameron laughed at her quick flush face and her reaction. "sure, you don't have to hide it. I can tell you guys are close and I honestly think your really cute together. I mean if your not an item I would definitely think about becoming one." She did a little kukuku kinda of laugh looking at the both of them. She couldn't help but tease them.
(I' didn't even realize that lol)
Riley sighs, she grabs all her medical supplies and walks towards them. She ignored molly's presence of course staring at fia. "I can help patch up your arm, I will leave if you want me too but I couldn't just watch the arm be that way." She sighed. "names Riley."
Clovis blinks, slowly catching on from Apollyon’s reaction and Cameron’s following sentence. He gives a small smile, his cheeks flushing in the slightest.
This kid. My word, you don’t have to be a couple to keep warm.
Apollyon buried her face in her hands and moaned, “Oooohhh my gooooooodddsss”
And she shivered a bit at the deprivation of warmth she had given herself after pulling away from Clovis.
You could tell she was getting a little tired, but she stayed awake rubbing her eyes. She kept glancing at her door, hoping her brother would walk in. She was worried for him and hoped he was camping out somewhere safe.
Molly takes a piece but not the whole bag. “You kidding? I’m surprised you got to this! Where’d you find it?” She takes a small bite of the meat , savoring the taste.
Oh my wORD it’s been ages since I’ve had any meat.
Fia shrugged, a slight look of pride on her face, "An old gas station, it was the only one left that wasn't opened." She took a small piece of her own from the bag, popping it in her mouth right as she noticed movement out of the corner of her eye. Unlike Molly, this figure didn't sneak up on her, but her eyes did narrow as the figure clearly female now, walked up to them. "Thanks for the offer, but I'd rather not put my life in the hands of some stranger," She replied, "More than likely you're going to try to kill me anyway..Riley."
Molly glances up to Riley. “Ey, you did come around. This 12 year olds been wandering alone, Fia. I offered her to stick with Clovis and I but she refused.” She explains.
Apollyon buried her face in her hands and moaned, “Oooohhh my gooooooodddsss”
And she shivered a bit at the deprivation of warmth she had given herself after pulling away from Clovis.
Clovis rubs his eyes and yawns a little, then puts his arm back around Apollyon, not taking to heart what the child had said.
Shes cold. *I’m cold. It’s common sense to be close so you don’t freeze to death overnight.*
He looks back to Cameron, a little worried about her.
“How old is your brother? If you don’t mind to say, of course.”
There better not be just two sad, tiny kids trying to live alone out here.
"Ah, that would explain why she hasn't glanced in your direction," Fia replied, looking up at the girl and taking another piece of the jerkey, "Another reason I'm not letting you do anything to my arm. You're way to young to know what to do at all. I'll find someone more suited to what I need." She leaned back against the tree again, letting her eyes flick closed and hoping that this kid wasn't as persistent as herself.
Apollyon kept her face in her hands, but still snuggled closer as she was starting feel freezing. Then she took her hands from her face and grabbed her jacket and wrapped it around the both of them. She glanced at Cameron, wondering if the the younger girl was cold as well.
Cameron huffed glancing up the stairs. "He's 21." She glanced back at them and smiled slightly.
"Ah, that would explain why she hasn't glanced in your direction," Fia replied, looking up at the girl and taking another piece of the jerkey, "Another reason I'm not letting you do anything to my arm. You're way to young to know what to do at all. I'll find someone more suited to what I need." She leaned back against the tree again, letting her eyes flick closed and hoping that this kid wasn't as persistent as herself.
"OI IM literally 18! Stop treating me like some dumb kid!" She turned to molly yelling at her. "I didn't come to join your sorry a**** but I just couldn't sit and watch her poorly treat that arm. The wound could get infected with antibiotics and it needs to be stitched!!" She took out anti biotics and huffed turning back to fia. "I know good first aid and how to stitch your getting my help whether you want it or not. And then *I'm leaving."
"Leave her alone, or you'll be leaving without even touching my arm," Fia growled as she watched Riley yell at Molly, "That's a promise." She scowled at the girl, getting to her feet even though she only had an inch on the younger woman. "I will let you look at my arm as of now. I am perfectly capable of leaving right now and finding someone that I trust to stitch my arm up if I don't trust you."
Apollyon kept her face in her hands, but still snuggled closer as she was starting feel freezing. Then she took her hands from her face and grabbed her jacket and wrapped it around the both of them. She glanced at Cameron, wondering if the the younger girl was cold as well.
Clovis looks Cameron over again with another tired blink. “Are you cold?” He quietly asks, knowing she has to be.
I’m not gonna make her come here, but she’d be a lot warmer. I’m glad her brother is old enough to at least know how to survive.
"Leave her alone, or you'll be leaving without even touching my arm," Fia growled as she watched Riley yell at Molly, "That's a promise." She scowled at the girl, getting to her feet even though she only had an inch on the younger woman. "I will let you look at my arm as of now. I am perfectly capable of leaving right now and finding someone that I trust to stitch my arm up if I don't trust you."
Fiona had snapped right back at the girl before Molly could, so she glared instead.
Whats wrong with her? Geez.
“Seriously though, Fiona, I’ve got string and I’m sure I could stitch it. I wouldn’t want Brat here to do it either, but I could if you’re good with it.” She shrugs. “If not, Clovis and I were heading to a safe city nearby. I bet they’d have someone with experience.”
Apollyon yawned softly, and snuggled into the crook of Clovis’ neck, having entirely forgotten the incident only moments before. She watched Cameron, knowing Clovis would be thinking the same thing as her. Did this kid have a source of warmth?
