Daryl looked to her as she told her next story. It was tragic really, but it seemed like so long as these sisters were together they would be alright. He nodded when she stopped and he spoke again. "I lost my older brother." He said to her, looking out into the night.

"Merle isn't what you would consider to be a good guy, in fact even after it all blew up he was a racist sonofabitch that let his ego get in the way. He came back to our group after Rick handcuffed him to a roof in Atlanta for being out of line. Lost the key, so Merle took off his own hand. Anyway, he came back after the Woodbury affair, and he went to go save us, but..." his voice trailed off.

"I had just gotten him back, I showed him I was doing better, and then I found him. A walker... and I put him down." He closed his eyes trying not to remember Merle like that. "I owe it to the man that killed him, to kill him."

Daryl looked back to the camp inside. "Want to make a round around the area, make sure nothing is coming in another direction?" He asked her.

Rick's comment made her lips twitch into a smirk. "Maybe I am. I always thought I was just making the best of the worst possible situation." She said, and when he talked about his wife, she subconsciously grabbed hold of the dog tags around her neck. She wasn't readyto talk about him yet. Not yet. Even Bailey just got the run around when she asked how Blake was handling Zeke...

Truth was she wwasn't doing well, she was shutting herself off. She went totally cold adterwards, and she was just beginning to come back. Bailey needed her emotionally too, not just there.

She shokk her head. "I am sorry to hear about your wife, I know what its like to lose someone like that. Bailey does too, but we have different ways of handling things." She said, and she pulled out her knife and an old handkerchief from her back pocket and she began cleaning it off. "So, aside from this Michonne who else is there? I also was curious as to how things generally run. We are joining you, so I don't want to overstep any bounds."
