Nothing was uttered out of his mouth once Thana revealed her face after the whole [i][color=fff79a]"holy fuck"[/color][/i]. The cigarette he was smoking falling from his fingers and into the wet snow at his feet, sizzling for a brief second before being extinguished. It wasn't like Ryan to just waste a little nicotine stick like that but it also wasn't like him to be silent. Could this really be happening? A doppelganger just waltzing into Newnan like this? It wasn't until Richard had broke through the crowd and spoke that he finally blinked. He understood the confusion that was sweeping the crowd, hell he was confused. He hadn't remembered Zoie ever speaking about a sibling but then again, thinking back on things, Zoie really didn't talk about her life before the out break. Sure, everyone knew her and James had known each other since she was young and that she was from Leesburg originally but beyond that she really didn't talk about it. For Zoie talking about it had been like talking about Eden, it was part of her life she didn't want to relive. Ryan had always chalked it up to her marriage before the outbreak and what she had went through with that. Who would want to talk about that shit? No one. It was the same reason that Ryan didn't talk about his prison days except in passing. Sure he talked about Eden but that was because the town needed to know to better their defenses. Miss Sally stood there, glancing over at Richard and resting a hand on his shoulder as he stopped in front of the porch to Ash's home. She could see the pain in his eyes and it made her feel pity for the towns resident dick. Everyone had liked Zoie, she was full of life, but Richard had loved her and he hadn't been the same since she passed. Her eyes moved over towards Ash and she gave him a slight head shake, as if to reinforce his decision not to shoot Richard out right. Those on the Wall had no idea what was happening. Even Sana couldn't see at this point through her scope anymore than she had before. The girl just stood there wondering why so many seemed to be freaking out and why Richard was now looking like he was broken. Lyon glanced towards Ciel and chuckled, the way one does when they can't believe the words that come out of someone's mouth. "Oh don't worry little one. If they were going to kill us we wouldn't be armed for the wall and Sana wouldn't be in the tower with the sniper rifle," he assured the child. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a bit of dried meat James had given him, it had been cooked too long for human but was fine for dogs. "Here give Peaches this," he said handing it over. Looking at the others. "Whatever it is, I am sure it is fine. We'll fine out in a bit. No use getting our worries up," he said trying to put worries to rest. He knew it wasn't going to work but hey he had to say something as the defacto leader of the Franklin section since Beni had stepped down. Beni just nodded in agreement.

She had been briefed on what could happen and right then it seemed like Ash hadn't been far off the mark. Everyone looked to be in some sort of shock, not really understanding or perhaps just not accepting that she was standing there. It looked like Thana's thoughts had been confirmed, no one had any clue she had ever existed. That little piece of knowledge bit hard even though it hadn't been unexpected. It was a dark haired girl that finally broke the initial shock and silence, asking a question. Thana turned her attention to her to address her directly. [color=0072bc]"Leesburg, Georgia,"[/color] Thana said in a clear voice. She was going to explain more but there was a slight ruckus in the crowd and a man came pushing his way to the front. Thana looked him over. He was rough and scraggly, though handsome. Seemed the very type that Zoie would have been attracted to. He seemed rather hurt and his voice wavered as he said a single word. Daisy? She didn't understand why he was saying this word to her but figured he wasn't asking her about daisy's. As Ash answered, Thana came to a little bit of an understanding. This man must have called Zoie by the nickname of Daisy. Reaching out, Thana rested her hand over Ash's shoulder. [color=0072bc]"It be a'right Captain,"[/color] she said before taking a step forward, and then another; her heels clicking on the porch as she stepped up to Richard and looked up at him as she took her cover off. Her brown hair falling to frame her face. That was what was different, the hair. Zoie's had been sunkissed sandy blonde but Thana's was dark, like chocolate. Yet there was a peeking of roots that were much lighter. Her hair was dyed to be darker than it's true shade. That was what was making her look more different than she should. Tucking her cover beneath her arm she tilted her head, observing the man for a moment before speaking. [color=0072bc]"Ya must be Richard. I'm sorry but I'm not who you think I am."[/color] Her voice was so like Zoie's. Not as colorful in her speech nor as heavily accented but it still sounded like her. Taking a breath she looked back over the crowd, it seemed it was time for a little bit of explaining. Clearing her throat she tried to give them a bit of understanding. [color=0072bc]"I know this must come as a shock to y'all. I was just as shocked as you are when I came within the walls. It seems that y'all knew Zoie Martin, or as you knew her Zoie Crawford. Let me see if I am clarify a few things right quick like. I am Zoie's younger sister, by all of eight minutes. If y'all are in doubt of my identity, please turn to Mr. James Graham. He can vouch for me. I moved away from Albany back when I was eighteen and joined the U.S. Navy. I ain't been back to the Albany area since and have not spoken to any of me family since I left. I was unaware that Zoie had been living here until her death, or even that she had married in my absence."[/color] Thana's words were to the point, not flowered with the usual Georgia Backwoods phrases her sister used but there was the same kindness in their inflection. "A twin?" Miss Sally asked as she stood there looking over Thana. [color=0072bc]"Yes ma'am, identical. Well genetically. We are two very different people. We weren't ever close,"[/color] Thana said before looking back to Richard. [color=0072bc]"I'm sorry for the shock and yer loss,"[/color] she said sympathetically. Taking a couple of deliberate steps back from him she looked back over at Ash as she placed her cap back on before looking at the crowd again. [color=0072bc]"I was a Lt. Commander in the U.S. Navy. I am not a medical doctor. I'm a botanist. I have been extended an invitation to stay here and help with the crops. Fer personal reasons not sure I'll stay here with y'all. We'll see but hope that clears up some thangs."[/color] [color=0072bc]"Captain, maybe we should let them go fer now and let everything sink in. I can answer more questions later if they have them,"[/color] she added at the end as she looked back over to Ash.
