[i] – Tamashii – [/i]

Tamashii wasn’t entirely sure what to make of the new information she had received, firstly Dog had said meek people would be ‘safe’ to a degree around his brother, it didn’t make her feel any more at ease...she supposed to these people Mercy would fall under that category, obviously Tamashii wouldn’t, she was bound to clash with him...best to steer clear. Kaylah had quite a few valid points and the new information Lloyd had give her was also very useful. [i]A vehicle would get us somewhere[/i] Was her initial thought, she had always planned on staying inland keeping away from groups maybe move towards higher ground somewhere less likely to be populated. She was pulled from her thoughts as Kaylah piped up again; she focused on what the other woman was saying nodding her head in agreement. 

Though she didn’t answer straight away almost as if she were expecting someone else to, her eyes dropped expectantly to Remy who seemed to be waiting as well [i]...I should have kept my mouth shut[/i] Seeing as Lloyd seemed to be preoccupied as well she figured it wouldn’t hurt to take the reins on this situation. “Ok, how does this sound...” She started rubbing the back of her neck; she was going to decide a plan of action. “I’ll take you and one other person out to do a fuel run, though we don’t want to just fill the tank. We can take a few canisters to fill, nothing too heavy. We can siphon fuel from a few of the abandoned cars; I highly doubt pumps will still be active. Rena you can inspect the fence with Remy in my stead. Olivia keep doing what you’re doing...Lloyd” And that was where she came to a halt looking at the expectant face of the dark haired boy, ignoring the look Remy gave her no doubt in response to being left out of the fuel trip. She wasn’t really sure what to suggest for him, he was clearly ailed by some kind of fever what if it was the flu or something contagious? 

She glanced up as another person joined them in the kitchen, she wasn’t entirely sure if she’d seen her before though she was aware some of the other residents hadn’t been up and about for the first few days. She was about to greet her as it probably seemed like the right thing to do, when she was distracted by the familiar face that appeared in the kitchen after her, her eyes automatically checked over her companion raising an eyebrow as Mercy merely smiled at her before moving over to Olivia. 

[b]“Hey, any of you seen Tony? Dark hair, glasses, doesn't say much?”[/b]

Tamashii’s attention shifted back to the new comer, she stood back up her frown deepening as she tried to recall who Tony was. “Tony...erm...” She mused folding her arms and tapping her forearm, her eyes subconsciously following Mercy as she zoned in on Lloyd. [i]Oh wait, perhaps[/i] She clicked her fingers remembering something Dog had said earlier. “Not sure whether its the same guy but Dog mentioned that someone was up with Cat in the attic...Techy boy?” Tamashii shrugged as she offered up what little information she could before looking at Kaylah. “Speaking of Dog, once we’ve got that map we can plan properly but before then we can always go and find some canisters” She suggested glancing at Kaylah, suddenly far more amiable to be around...almost as if she were on her best behavior

. [i] – Mercy – With Olivia & Lloyd -[/i]

Mercy took Chris’s admittance at face value and assumed that she really was talking about Tony rather than about herself through another person, though the thought had crossed her mind. “Well we’d be lucky to have both of you...if you decide to stay” She decided to comment in her warm way, she would have liked them both to stay around on first impressions they seemed to be good people and although she couldn’t honestly vouch for Tony having not spoken to him, Chris’s skills and knowledge would be invaluable to them. Regardless she didn’t feel right saying they both [i]should[/i] definitely stay it was their decision, they had to do what was right for them...right? The thought caused her to chew her lip as indecision crossed her expression quickly giving way to a smile at Chris’s answer to her question. “Call me superstitious but I think some things happen for a reason, there are no coincidences” She mused aloud, her eyebrows rose as her smile faded into a small smirk a mischievous look leaking into her expression. 

For a moment the blonde was convinced she had overstepped the mark having cut Chris off with her hurried apology for Tony. She was relieved when Chris offered up a reply accompanied with a smile, Mercy felt her cheeks heat up...again. [i]Really got to teach myself to stop reacting like this[/i] She thought to herself, nodding her head at Chris before dropping her eyes to the floor until she stepped through the door and into the kitchen. Mercy followed through shortly after feeling Tamashii’s gaze fall onto her as she passed by Chris and made a bee line for Olivia, she threw her companion a smile before focusing on the redhead. “Well...you seem to be in charge of the kitchen, where would you like these?” She whispered to the girl seeing as she looked to be in good spirit as well as good health. Mercy placed the basket down on the counter as Olivia moved around the kitchen in search of somewhere to store the eggs. Her eyes wandered around the kitchen taking in the other people that were in the room, she couldn’t quite get over how nice and...normal it felt in here, and the pleasant scent of cooked breakfast hung in the air, reminding her she hadn’t eaten for quite some time. She was about to query about food when Lloyd caught her attention, her eyes narrowed as a frown crossed her features. You didn’t need to be a doctor to figure out something was wrong; she apologized to Olivia before creeping past Chris as she asked after Tony. 

She came to rest next to Lloyd. “Hey...you don’t look so good, let me take a look at you?” She asked leaning down next to him so she could talk in a hushed voice. Lloyd predictably waved her off, looking embarrassed that she had even approached him about it. “I’m fine honestly” He murmured to her. “Yeah well you don’t look fine and you’re temperature isn’t normal” Mercy stated lifted her hand to his forehead, beneath his fringe, he was burning up though the moisture on his forehead was cool to the touch. “I’m just a little warm its nothing” Lloyd tried to assure her, sensing the hint of panic in the boys voice Mercy retracted her hand. “It’s probably nothing serious honey, but you should rest up regardless, I’ll get you a cold compress and I’m pretty sure I may have something in my first aid kit that can help. We can’t have you feeling under the weather, please I promise if you let me help you we’ll have you up and about in no time” Mercy murmured to him smiling encouragingly at the boy. Lloyd looked undecided as he looked back at her, he really wasn’t feeling great and she [i]had[/i] helped him a few days ago...resting wouldn’t hurt him perhaps she could fix him up, nothing serious. Lloyd nodded his head in agreement smiling faintly at her. Mercy smiled in return relieved he had decided to put at least a little faith in her, she turned her head upon hearing Tamashii answer Chris’s question. [i]Oh dear...[/i]
