Marathoning S5 this one woke up again...

You come back from a "hiatus" as you're calling it and this is what you want to do?

I'm not fighting anyone, especially him. It's a bad idea, Mun. Don't you get that? [she'd let out a broken laugh] You're not gonna listen, are you? I wonder how you would feel if someone did these kind of things to you.

{Carol can't help the way her heard jumps in her chest as she looks at the woman and a waves of sadness rushes over her. She doesn't show it on her face though. No, she had gotten pretty good at hiding her feelings. Besides, who was she to judge. They'd all killed people...her especially. It was what they had to do to survive nowadays. That doesn't mean she doesn't miss Beth. If it wasn't for her she'd be dead right now.}

...One thing I've learned around here is that they never listen. Never.

[Dawn recognizes the woman from what was literally a life time ago; One that was left with many regrets and more questions than resolutions. She didn't have much of an opinion of her other than the fact she had a connection with Beth – Whatever that was. Oh, and saving her life may be another thing? However as smug as she could come off at times, she wouldn't bring that up. It was irrelevant to the discussion at hand. She'd look to the woman with little expression trying to stay as poised as possible. After all, she was who she was and wasn't below keeping up appearances even after what went down.]

They should. They don't have a right to be playing god with other people's lives. No one does. [she'd state simply.]

[Rick knew it had been an accident. He remembered too well the expression on her face when it happened, every bit as shocked as the rest of them. Beth's attack had triggered that same instinct in Dawn that they all possessed, her body reacting to threat before she could register her own actions. It hadn't been any sort of malicious intent.

It didn't mean he could forgive it.

At this point, it didn't make a difference. Beth was dead, taken too soon from the world. Whether Rick forgave her, hated her, killed her, it wouldn't change that fact.]

You really think you're one to be askin' that question?

[Dawn knew of the man; Rick Grimes, the man with the ‘proposal’ – Two of her’s for two of theirs, everyone walks. Seemed fair except for the fact that an officer – a damn good one – was lost on account of searching for the boy, Noah, her ward who caused the whole mess to begin with. Rick was yet another face from the past to emerge in this place and one she’d wish she could forget along with the horrible nightmare forever embedded in her mind. The guilt, the regret, and something apologies could never make up for. It was done and there was no taking anything back. Nothing was gonna change that.

But that certainly was the question wasn’t it? She knew what it meant and was reflecting on it, but she’d be damned to show it on the outside. No, questioning anything she did would be a sign of weakness and of all people this man was one of the last people she wanted to come off as weak to.]

They don’t have a right to play with other people’s lives – to play god. [Dawn would take the path of avoidance to cover for how she was feeling. There was conviction to her words however. Always was.] No one does. [She’d state the later simply.]
