I'm still here, please don't forget that either.

He wasn't who I was expecting, but I am SO SORRY for him in advance.

[ Someone hasn't forgotten about you either. Although, that brief little afterlife 'reunion' was oh so touching. ]

You still believe that even though the odds are against them. [ Simply. Calculated. Cold. ]

And you're still here. [ a pause. ] Maybe, one of yours will be here too. [ another pause. Then a smile. ] Just like you, and I, are here. [ Cryptic. He has a feeling the girl will get the drift if she has half the brain he thinks she has. Which is to say the bar is never raised high. ]

:D

[Beth could feel her small, slender body tense at the sound of the man's voice. The voice of the man who robbed them of their safe haven, the man who took her daddy's life. She felt her hands ball up into fists by her side]

They've made it this far haven't they? Made it longer than me, longer than you...

[She's wise to keep her distance as she listens to his words, her eyes narrowing]

I ain't afraid to be here and I ain't afraid of you neither.

[vestigial]

Ain't nobody forgetting you.

[imadeit]

[ A soft but broken smile lingers along her girlish features. It comes as a comfort just to hear his voice]

Yeah?

[vestigial]

Yeah.

[ Not the most in-depth reply, but that's Daryl. ]

[imadeit]

Promise?

[Maybe it was a lot to ask but it was a fear she had, a major worry. That she would just be another name forgotten, just another dead girl]

[vestigial]

I don't make a habit of lying.

[imadeit]

I ain't much on lyin either...

[vestigial]

So you know I mean it.

You okay?

[imadeit]

[She nods her head a little]

I'm here....

[She glances up at him slightly]

My mun says you're hurt, Maggies sick...

[vestigial]

Bad shit happens. You know that.

[imadeit]

Heard Carol got hurt pretty bad too...

[She bites her lower lip slightly]

Y'all gotta be alright. Ya gotta!

[vestigial]

The world ain't alright no more, Beth.

[imadeit]

We already knew that to but you're different, they're different. Y'all can fight this...

[vestigial]

Yeah, well. Dunno how different I am, but fighting's gonna happen.

[imadeit]

Good. Cause ya don't need to stop fightin, none of ya! Okay? Can't none of y'all give up, ya gotta keep goin.

You gotta get better. Same with Maggie and Carol.
