"I have to pee" Elodie said, blushing. "There isn't a bathroom here, is there?"
she now blushed a bright scarlet color.

"Maybe you could help me limp outside, if there isn't, I can get back in on my own." She said quietly, slightly embarrassed.

Gus's expression cleared. "Oh, I get ya. Tell you what, why don't we find June an' ask her t' give you a hand? I think there's a bathroom here, but I ain't too sure it still works. Outside might be better if you're careful." He turned to Darius. "Dare, wanna go to th' roof and tell June we need a favor?"

"Yeah sure," he nodded, putting his books back in his pocket and jogging to get June, he came back a second later with her arm over his shoulder rubbing her fist in his hair with a grin.

"heya guys" she grinned, "yall needed some female assistance? Im your girl." she set her weapons down, smiling. "You know, Dev really disliked females, like, would rather run into a crowd of screamers than deal with them" she rolled her eyes. She could tell Darius was back to normal, and he would forget this conversation quickly enough.

Elodie smiled lightly and then began to wobble and shake lightly. She placed her palm flat against the cold wall, and slowly pulled herself up, ignoring the searing pain in her leg and hips.

She panted lightly, out of breath, with her face away from the others so that they did'nt see how much energy just standing up took out of her.

When she had steadied her breath, she turned back to all three of them.
"Im ready" she said quietly, her voice trembling slightly.

The thought of someone assisting her to the bathroom, as if she were a bedridden elder person made her shiver.

"You two watch your backs while you're out there, now," Gus reminded them, a bit worried about how weak Elodie looked. "Don't wait to give a yell if you see a screamer or somethin', okay? We'll be right around the corner."

Jasper would have helped, but they had already gotten june and she was probably too small and just to weak to help her, she was watching as she struggled and she felt bad for her, it probably hurt a lot just to stand.
She was really worried about Jez, that maybe he wanted to come back but something injured him. Maybe he didn't want to come back in the first place and was long gone…
She held her herself as she thought.

Elodie nodded, and with June's help, stumbled, limping, outside, to the furthest spot away from the door at the back of the building she left June around a corner and turned the corner, slowly unbuttoning her jeans with shaking hands.

She slowly pulled them down her legs, thankfully they were loose enough the not rub against her skin when she pulled them down and she used her free hand to pull them backwards, away from the area of urinal release.

She then used her other hand to steady herself against the wall, where she then began to relieve herself, after a moment, she realised she had not used the bathroom since at least six days ago, and wondered if this is because of dehydration, or infection.

She sat for a minute, letting herself air dry, as she had forgotten to ask Gus for toilet paper and then slowly, repeating her gesture inside, heaved herself up, in which she bent down to shimmy her jeans up her legs slowly, rebuttoning them, with continuous shaking fingers.

She let herself stand against the wall for a few moments, trying to catch her breath, when she heard rustling coming from the nearly dead bush about 50 feet in front of her. She inhaled, holding her breath and biting her bottom lip.

If it was a screamer, then she'd be unable to run, the only thing she could do was try or at least hope she'd get away.

A small, ginger kitten bounded out of the bush, mewing softly at her. She scooped him up, then crept around the corner, standing face to face with June, she held up the kitten with a small, pure, smile.

June hummed to herself as she waited, when Elodie came back with the kitten she gasped, putting a hand over her heart, "It is a furry angel" she reached for the kitten, knowing it would probably not like her, no animals ever did, they all prefered Darius or Devon, even though her brother had hated animals, she always found it funny.

Elodie watched as the kitten, who she could tell was a male, back away from June, pushing himself more into Elodie's chest.

"We can go inside now." She said, hobbling inside along June, stroking the kittens head and ears gently.

"Yes Jupiter, do you like that hmmm? You like that name?" She whispered to the kitten, who purred in acceptance as they walked back into the building. "Jupiter." She whispered to the kitten and he kissed her on the cheek.

June sighed, "stupid furry angel doesnt like me, I am going back to the roof" she muttered grabbing her stuff once inside and going back to the roof to keep watch.

Darius shook his head at her, looking at the kitten. "cute"

Gus brightened when June and Elodie returned, then brightened even more when he saw the kitten. "Aw, well would you lookit that! You made a friend! Is it hungry? Poor thing might not know how t' hunt yet."

"Yeah" Elodie said in response, sliding down to the floor, using the wall and wincing in pain. Jupiter then licked her on the tip of her nose, causing her eyes to water and a pure, small giggle.

"Jupiter!" She shouted gleefully and the kitten meowed loudly. She used her index finger to scratch behind Jupiter's ears and he began to purr.

Jasper stared at the kitten, and tilted her head. What was that thing..? It looked fluffy and cute and cuddly..she called it Jupiter but she doubted that was what the creature was called. She knew she had seen one before but had no clue what it was. "Gus…what's that?"

Darius knelt down in front of the kitten, sticking his hand out to pet it, "I used to have a cat, it was black, I called him Binx" he smiled softly.

Gus heard Jasper's question and blinked in surprise. "Why, that there's a kitten, Jasper. A little baby cat. You never seen one before?" He always forgot just what an unusual life Jasper must've lived before meeting them, and he felt saddened to think of it. "They're real sweet, 'long as you're quiet and gentle with 'em. I reckon you'll get along fine."

Jesse no doubt took this as a victory. "that's what I thought" she says as they turn away.
As they all walk out of the store, Jez's feet drag against the cracked pavement of the road "its just down this way" he says, looking to Evan "hey you mind helping me a bit?" he asks "I've got barely any balance with the condition I'm in right now" he says.
And he wasn't lying either. He looked like crap. He had big bruises forming on his arms, ribs, face and legs. Along with a black eye and a few cuts. His mouth still pooling with blood as his lip bled.
He made sure to keep his voic0e lower so Jesse couldn't hear, as she was walking with them but a bit more behind.
She looks around the building, looking for any signs of life around them in case anything decided it was time for lunch. In a way she was protecting protecting them. But that was only because she wanted something out of them.

(Sorry for short response, sick currently)

Evan brightened up when he saw that Jez needed help, realizing he could be useful and Make up for his past mistake. He made his way over to help Jez with his struggle in walking tuna sitting in his bag.

Gus heard Jasper's question and blinked in surprise. "Why, that there's a kitten, Jasper. A little baby cat. You never seen one before?" He always forgot just what an unusual life Jasper must've lived before meeting them, and he felt saddened to think of it. "They're real sweet, 'long as you're quiet and gentle with 'em. I reckon you'll get along fine."

"I have…but I just, never knew what they were called, all I knew was they were small fluffy creatures with pointed ears."
She spoke, slowly edging closer to the kitten that elodie held.

Elodie smiled up at all of them, while continuing to pet Jupiter.

"I'm going to keep him" she announced to the room. He purred a little more loudly and cuddled into her armpit.

Gus nodded in understanding, then started digging through the cans in his backpack until he found a small can of fish meat. Cracking it open, he took a shred of the meat and offered it to Jasper. "Here, see if Jupiter'll eat this. Probably not th' best meal fer a kitten, but it's all we got right now."

"can I pet him?" Darius asked softly, he loved animals, they seemed as lost in the human world as he often was.

Cass stands, turning to the two girls "that's alright. We have food back at home. We're not too worried about that" he says.
Ophelia grabs his hand "is it time for us to go in?" She asks. Which he nods before they both start to walk towards the convenience store.
He opens the door slowly, even though he probably could have walked through the broken doorway. Shattered glass along the hard tiles floor. Glass crunching underneath their feet, he made sure to warn Ophelia of the glass so she wouldn't get hurt.
He goes behind the counter with her, looking underneath the counter for cigarettes. He didn't smoke or anything like that. But in his experience it was like currency. You want information or good, they just want a smoke. It didn't work all the time, but it has been useful to build trust and friendships with other people.
"dad are you going to smoke?" she asks him as she helps him put them in the bag.
He shakes his head "oh of course not. But in case we run into someone who does, we want to be nice and offer them some" he explains, not fully lying about it.
Cassius didn't want to corrupt her mind when he didn't need to.
