Shelby glanced up, there were quite a few new faces in town, she sighed, there was one she still clung onto a strand of hope that would show up. Given how long it had been it was very unlikely that Emily would show. Out of the corner if her eye she saw Ace approaching, he sat down two glasses of water, “Well I see you’re back from your trip Shelby, I don’t see Brandy with you, what’d you do kill her and dump her body on the way?” 

“ Nah, she is probably doing that all in her own with that mutant, “She tried to be her normal smartass self, but her lack of enthusiasm showed. Ace let out a laugh and went back into the kitchen returning moments later with two steaming bowls.

“Here ya go, some radstag stew, pretty good if I say so myself. Have other stuff, but I recommend this, maybe I’ll even let you have some pie, if you behave” Ace smirked as he said that.

Shelby finally grinned a little, “You mean you want some pie, “ she actually laughed, “Lot's of new folks huh?” Then an emergency bulletin put an abrupt halt to the music and informed of a battle occurring.

Ace smiled, “Well seems like the Minutemen are keeping themselves busy.”

“Yeah...it does,” Shelby brought a spoonful of stew to her mouth and sniffed, “Shit does smell good Ace.” She took the bite and savored the flavor of something she hadn't had in a long time, “It is really good Ace, thanks.”

“Real good,” commented Waylon while scooping yet another spoonful from his half full bowl, “Hits the spot man, I was starving.”

“Guess so, you keep eating like and you'll end up a fat ass,” Shelby replied before she took another bite.
