**Victoria - MEC - John/Robert/Buck/Farren**

Tori listened as John presented his reasoning, clasping her fingers between his as he took her by the hand. She let out a small laugh when he denied being their leader. "John, I don't care what you say, you're our leader. No question about it." She smiled slightly. "I mean, from day one you helped me. From carrying me those first 2 days when I wasn't strong enough to walk yet - to teaching me to shoot this stupid gun. I mean- you're the reason I haven't died on one of my runs yet." 

She nodded when John ended the conversation, and she grabbed his hand as he pulled her up. When they found the newcomers, she recieved a warm smile from Robert. "Morning, Mr. Robert." She smiled back, stepping in and giving him a brief side-hug.

"Good morning, Tori, John." He replied. "I was just speaking to our new friends here."
