[b][u]Nero[/u][/b]

Nero cocked his head as he listened to her speak, it was definitely a young female without a doubt and she appeared tough, however her threats were not all that scary to Nero her bluff was misguided and childish at best. He had surveyed the group when they arrived and was not so easily fooled by mere words. But she was right about a couple things, there was a knife pointed towards Nero and Shawn was already hesitating no doubt and it was obvious she could see that much. However when Nero listened to the last words she spoke after the gun dropped to the ground, that was the part that had truly caught his attention out of all the rest. Nero slowly uncocked his head as he let the names role over in his mind, Clover and Carter was it truly possible that there could be others with that same name, no the chances of that were remote an traveling together would be ever more remote then the last. The attitude she had, the words she spoke, Nero was starting to realize that the man he was holding and the girl Shawn was holding up was the very friends he had sought out for almost nine months with dwindling hope. Nero couldn't be sure if it was coincidence or not but he slowly released his grip around Carters neck so he could breath and then spoke.

[b]"Shawn lower your gun, don't argue and don't fight about it just do it."[/b]

Nero watched as the gun was lowered in the dark, the young boy silently got up and walked beside him showing himself a bit better. This was a risk but if this was truly Clover and Carter... no it was them it had to be. Nero then let off a deep laugh that would sound a bit scary unless you truly knew him, an knew that Nero expressed joy with hearty laughs. After a couple seconds of laughing Nero spoke again.

[b]"Clover you are still as hot headed as you have always been, I thought that after these nine months that would have changed, but it appears that Carter here is still trying to keep up with you. The way you barged in here, I can see now that it must be you, your fearlessness and your attitude, it is commendable. This isn't exactly how I figured we would meet up again, however it does seem eerily similar except this time around you dropped your gun first."[/b]

Nero released his grip on Carter completely to let him go, feeling the knife leave his groin was a relief in most cases, but compared to how he felt now it didn't matter that much to him anymore.

[b]"I apologize my old friend I was not aware that the man I was holding was you, if I had perhaps a hug would have been better instead of nearly choking you to death."[/b]

[b][u]Shawn[/u][/b]

To simply say Shawn was dumbfound in the least was putting it lightly, they had literally just gone from kill you to laughing and calling these two friends. He had no idea what the hell was going on or what was happening anymore. Shawn slowly walked up to Nero as he tugged at his shirt to get his attention when he had it he spoke confused about the recent events.

[b]"Nero what exactly is going on here? I mean I am relieved we did not have to shoot them but hell I am confused as to what is happening right now."[/b]

As he saw Nero looked down at him he could see the smile curved on his face, a smile he had not witnessed yet while knowing him before he spoke.

[b][i]"I am sorry Shawn I should have realized that you were out of the loop on this one, these two are the ones I mentioned from before the group I was with before we were split up by a large group of Walkers. The same ones I have not seen or heard from in nine months."[/i][/b]

Shawn simply nodded his head as he peered through the dark at the both of them, if Nero was saying they were friends then there was no reason that he could not be friendly as well with them.

[b]"Well if Nero says your both okay then I am glad to meet you both even if it was bit rocky at first my name is Shawn."[/b]
