(Have Shaun being..Shaun, bc I feel bad for not responding at all)

Shaun makes his way back towards his car, leaning against the back and digging through his pockets for a moment. His cat is meowing again but he's ignoring her, he'll go back inside in a few minutes and get what he needs, then they can leave. He's still grinning as his shaky hands pull out a carton of cigarettes and a lighter, bet you didn't expect him to be a smoker. He doesn't do it all the time, just when he's stressed or..well, that's kind of all the time. But he limits himself, just like he limits himself on how many weapons of mass destruction he makes. So far it's only been about 3, all of them were some silly little explosions that he has stored in a super secret location. He stares into the RVs open door as he raises a smoke to his lips, holding it with his teeth as he lights the end. If you were in the RV you'd be able to see him just staring at everything with that creepy glare of his, and the same relentless smile. He is, mentally unhinged. He laughs as he listens to the others conversing, before watching as Ghabiun comes outside and stares at him. He tilts his head before taking a drag from his cigarette, holding it between his fingers and blowing out the smoke. "Hey there killer, come to rip my face off?"

Even Cherry thought that what Jesse had done was in bad taste. Her mood seemed to sour, going from a relaxed version of herself to tense. She didn't like that one bit.
Cherry kneeled in front of Angela and Pip, wondering if getting on the kid's level would help him ease up some, she had seen it help with other kids, but that didn't mean this would work with Pip. Though, she figured it was worth a try.
"No one's going to do anything to your hands" Cherry started, holding up the gauze so Pip could see it. People always thought that keeping kids in the dark about what was about to happen somehow made things better for them, like when going to the doctor. Sometimes Kids needed to be filled in for the fear to go away.
"I just want to wrap your hands to stop some of the bleeding" Cherry said, wrapping some of the gauze bandage around her own hand for a demonstration.
"It'll look a little like this and it won't hurt. I can't do much right now, but soon we'll get something better to help with your hands" She smiled.
"And I promise you I won't let anyone hurt you, and neither will your mother" Cherry spoke gesturing to Angela, still assuming Angela was his mother.
Though, when Jesse suddenly stood up with a gun in hand, Cherry also stood back up, she didn't want to start a fight. She also didn't want any problems with Jesse, but things were going too far now. Having a problem with Angela was one thing, they could take it somewhere else, but with a kid present, this was not the way to go.
Cherry got between Jesse and Angela to stop Jesse from doing anything too drastic. The gun did make her nervous, the whole situation made her so nervous that she was shaking, though only slightly.
"Please stop," Cherry said firmly- as firmly as she could, though her voice did falter. Her fearful eyes looked at Jesse, still, there being some kind of determination to stop Jesse, even though Cherry could easily be taken out. She wasn't challenging Jesse, only trying to get her to calm down.
This was the first time she had stood up for someone in the apocalype and put herself on the line willingly. What changed? She didn't know, but she had a choice to make. Did she want to stand by while someone got hurt, or did she want to do something? Maybe if she did enough, she'd be forgiven for not doing anything in the past and letting others get killed.
"There's an injured kid and you're not helping. Killing or injuring someone isn't going to do anything" Cherry tried to reason with Jesse, but she wasn't quite sure what to do.
"Just, for now, can we please stop the fighting?" She said, looking back at Angela slightly since she also wasn't helping with anything either.

Peregrine looked up weakly when Cherry addressed him, still not looking very reassured. Right now, he was very stressed and uncomfortable with the vibe in the RV, and he looked extremely upset about the gun and the fighting and everything that was happening. He was clearly confused when Cherry referred to Angela as his mother, but he didn't correct her.

He curled in on himself more tightly, and he closed his hands for a moment before he flinched at how much it hurt and opened them again. When he looked down at them, he noticed that blood was trickling down his palms and he paled and panicked. His breathing hitched, and he stared blankly at the floor, only growing more anxious as the fight continued.

"Please… p-please stop… please…" He whispered shakily, his eyes stinging with tears. God, my hands hurt. Why aren't they being quiet? Pip screwed his eyes shut, unable to cover his ears since he didn't want to get blood on his face, but he was only getting more distressed and irritated.

"Stop… god, just… SHUT UP! SHUT UP! Why are you fighting?! W-Why's everything gotta be a problem?!" He snapped, and then gasped and covered his mouth with both hands, paling and shrinking away in his chair. Oh no… now they're definitely going to kill me.

Jesse keeps the gun on Angela, wanting nothing more than to put that bullet back into her leg. It confused Jesse how different Angela was from when they first met on the road when she was bleeding out and begging for help. Now she's selfish, annoying, rude and ungrateful. Nobody even said thank you to Jesse, which she didn't care. But I certainly didn't expect someone to be rude about it after she helped them!
Helping somebody was a lot for Jesse to do anyway, as normally she would have held the gun to their head while looting them or just shot them and let Ghabiun have a week's worth of food.
So what was so different this time? Why did she invite these people into the RV?
She would have been better off without them in here anyway.
She stares down Angela, clenching her jaw and he finger on the trigger.
When Cherry steps in the way, Jesse only thought her as stupid. But she doesn't shoot.
She sighs, hokstering the gun and rolling her eyes. "You think I care about child? He can grow a pair. What are you trying to protect him from? trauma? News flash Cherry, it's the apocalypse and trauma is inevitable" she says angrily, not wanting to look at Angela anymore.
Jesse thought for sure Angela and Shaun were somewhat threatened by her and that was why they were acting like smug idiots. Either that or simply insane.
But she wasn't just going to let them be disrespectful towards her after she stopped Angela from bleeding out and she…
No she didn't actually do anything for Shaun that she could think of.

She keeps her eyes on Cherry, annoyed at her. Annoyed at the kind of person she is. Annoyed that she felt the need to "stand up for what's right" and go around helping children like she worked in some sort of hospital before this.
Jesse hated how soft everyone was. How their gaurds were so low and there was no aggression or violence.
Jesse just ran into a bunch of softies and had no idea what to do about it.
Maybe she could kick them all out, Cherry included and go on her own way.
Maybe she'll shoot them all dead while they sleep.
Or maybe just Shaun and Angela, taking Cherry and Pip with her and Ghabiun.
She wasn't going to leave Pip without Cherry leaving as well and….well to be honest it had been nice having Cherry around.
Though Jesse would never admit to that. She's sooner admit to killing Pip to Cherry and Angela's face than to admit she enjoyed anybodys company. Especially a softie pip-squeak such as Cherry.

Ghabiun keeps his eye on Shaun before letting out a large huff and walks up to him, sniffing his leg. Maybe Shaun's scary face confused Ghabiun as well.

(Im scared idk if Ghabiun is gonna ask for pets or rip Shauns leg off-)

Shaun tilts his head a little, getting a little apprehensive when Ghabiun walks over and starts sniffing his leg. He does move his cigarette to the side though, just so that any ashes don't fall on him. He's a little scared of what the dog would do if he got burnt, but also he doesn't want to hurt an animal unless it's necessary. But he definitely would shoot Ghabiun if he tried to hurt Fish..probably not in the head like he said, but still. Maybe in the leg to deter him from it. Shauns scary expression is still present, but dialed down just a tiny bit. If he holds it at full force all the time it makes his face sore. Eventually he talks, honestly he was a little scared that if he said something it would provoke Ghabiun. "..hey there, what's up with you?"

Cherry nearly jumped out of her skin when Pip yelled out, her heart speeding up a bit at the sudden outburst. She looked back at him and felt sorry for the fact that he had to deal with all of this.
Cherry looked back at Jesse, though not at her eyes, finding it hard to look at someone so intimidating. The worst part was that Jesse was right. This was the apocalypse and trauma was inevitable.
"I know that!" She said frustrated, but never yelling, her voice barely above her normal tone. "But leave that to the apocalypse. There's no reason why the good people on this planet should hurt others" It was almost laughable after seeing how Jesse was acting, that Cherry still held on to the image of Jesse having fun with her dog. Maybe Cherry and the rest who had joined were the problem and stressed Jesse out, they just came in, uninvited, and expected Jesse to accept them. This was especially true for Angela and Shaun. They hadn't been nice to Jesse at all, but then again, she didn't know the whole story as she had come in a little late. Still, it wouldn't kill them to not be so confrontational about some things.
Jesse was no different. The "joke" that she had pulled was very distasteful.
"You may not care about the child or anyone for that matter but…" Cherry bit her bottom lip in thought, wondering if she should bring it up now. Would Jesse get mad?
"You care about some things. You act tough so you don't seem weak, but I think it's okay to show a little more of the side of you playing with your dog" She pauses. "It was nice seeing that." She says now, only above a whisper.
Cherry stepped out of the way when Jesse looked away from Angela.
"I know I sound like someone who'll get killed for doing stupid things like this, but I just.." She trailed off. Maybe it wasn't the time to stand up for others in the apocalypse but something inside her would not leave her alone knowing that a kid would see these types of things, especially when they didn't need to. Yes, it was bound to happen, but it was unnecessary now. Why add to that?
"I just want some peace and quiet, I also think Pip could use a little of that now. Talking things out is fine, just keep it down and try not to hurt anyone, we already have enough of that in this world, a little less wouldn't hurt" She said, suddenly feeling very defeated. It didn't help that Cherry herself had what she thought was a migraine, or maybe a glorified headache. It felt heavy being someone who was nice all the time, it's why she never did anything….until now.
Cherry sat down, to keep her head from spinning. If she wasn't nice and tried to find the middle ground, who was she? She certainly didn't want to turn into someone who looked at the world in such bad light, no matter the circumstance. Though, that did seem easier.
Cherry didn't want easier.
