Nina watched to woman walk closer to her. She was wary but she did not move away. This stranger had given her no reason to not trust her yet. She examined the woman when she got closer. She was definitely shorter than herself but Nina had already figured as much. She seemed more worn down that Nina did, it made sense, not many people would have had the luxury of hiding out as long as she did. She had gotten lucky, something that she seemed to be doing a lot lately, save for the lack of ammunition for the gun she possessed. Not that she had the damnedest idea how to use the thing, she probably wouldn't be able to hit the side of a barn. 

When she woman came to a stop a few feet from her she made the worst joke Nina had heard in a long time, not that it was that hard since she only had herself to joke with previously and Nina was convinced that she was hilarious, even though it probably wasn't the case. "Ha, used to before the world decided to end." She remarked in response to the lame comment. The shorter woman introduced herself as Sam, an ex-firefighter and extended her hand toward Nina. "Nina, botanist, don't really think you can be an ex-botanist, once you know, you know, ya know." She chuckled at her stupid remark and took the woman's hand, shaking it firmly. She seemed nice enough, and she too carried a fire axe though she likely got more use out of the thing than Nina would out of hers. "You heading out of the city or?" She questioned, not finishing her sentence because she didn't know how to finish it. She pulled her hand away from the woman and began fiddling with the ring on her finger, the one her fiancé had given her. She hadn't taken it off in fear of losing it and had a habit of messing with it when she was nervous or on edge, and standing in the open like this was indeed putting her on edge, even if there were no signs of the man eaters or other people in general.
