Dean sat on the floor, his arms wrapped around his knees as he observed the two enter the house and make themselves comfortable. He felt somewhat numb, but as Emma and Timothy talked about themselves in a calm, comfortable manner, it eased him and his mind, and he realized the situation he was currently in. Sitting in the living room with two [i]actual[/i] people. Not bandits or monsters, actual people. It had been so long, but he had been in a similar situation once before. The pair were friendly, and good company. Dean could see himself opening up to the two, but he knew that could lead to developing some type of bond, and they would end up closer together. It would only hurt even more when these damn monsters took them away from him. He couldn't shake that mentality, that was the world they lived in, it was always a possibility. These two could be gone in the blink of an eye. It was going to be hard to get away from this mindset. Dean buried his face into his arms. 

It was very impressive Emma could live on her own for so long, assuming nobody had ever bothered to help her, she hadn't really given a thorough explanation which made sense considering the fact Dean didn't even want to say anything. But even so, to live on her own was impressive, she was most likely quick on her feet, a very reliable talent to have nowadays. Timothy seemed very capable of taking care of himself, and it was no surprise he survived in a place like this, but it was inevitable he would eventually run out of food and supplies. When he talked of his marksmanship skills Dean considered giving him the rifle he found earlier today. He didn't use guns much and survived well enough without them, Tim would obviously put it to better use than he. 

Dean had yet to speak, and was simply sitting on the floor lost in his thoughts, considering the situation. Normally three strangers sitting on the living room floor would be very awkward but being with company in times like this gave Dean a warm feeling, followed by more sadness as the thought that they were going to be taken from him by the monsters inhabiting the world filled his mind once more. Realizing it would be rude not to speak he lifted his face back up, and paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts before talking in a tired, quiet tone. [b]"I'm Dean. I've uh, been on my own for about a year, this is the 5th time i've been with actual people. I just setup in this house today and I was going to spend the next couple of weeks scavenging the neighborhood and building up supplies before continuing on my way to uh..."[/b] he stopped himself [b]"Before just leaving and being on the road again y'know."[/b] 

Dean realized that Emma and Volk were basically guests, and he didn't know how long they were going to stay or why, which was something he'd have to find out. As much as he was afraid of developing a bond, there was no doubt that the three could get a lot more done together. The people he'd encountered before usually went on their way and weren't interested in teamwork, but these two seemed friendly and willing to help. Dean had a months worth of food but if it were split up between the three it would last them about a week and a half. If they did decide to group up their first objective would be to up the food supplies, something that will be much easier to do with three people. He'd be a fool to pass up this opportunity. 

[b]"I don't mean to come off as rude or anything"[/b] he said, looking to the floor as he spoke, [b]"But how long are you two planning to stay here? I have a reasonable amount of food and water and don't mind sharing, but um, if I did, it wouldn't be long before we had to go out and get more."[/b]
