[b]"Whatever."[/b] Clover dropped her gun, placing it in it's holster and began moving back toward the others. [b]"That's Nero's truck, so I hope for your sake you're being honest."[/b] She said over her shoulder as she walked around the tail end of it. She stopped in the center of the rest of the group outside looking at each of them before speaking up.

[b]"Sooo.. we have another member to our little family."[/b] Family slipping through her lips with a little less sarcasm than she intended. She rolled her eyes as she began to think about all the people she'd run into that day and wondered if their luck would run out. She hoped it did. There were too many new faces for her to ever be comfortable again. [b]"His names Aaron."[/b] She said, tilting her head in his direction as he appeared from the side of the house walking toward the truck they were all standing around. [b]"Feel free to greet the man, I'm sure he means no harm. Unless of course he stole something in which case... you should shoot him. As for me... I think I'm going to go back inside and sleep. I've mingled enough for one day."[/b]

Clover slipped past Katrina and Ryan muttering a "goodnight" that was barely audible in the heavy rain, while Carter stood where he was looking after her. She gave Shawn one last stare before disappearing into cabin number three. Carter decided to get things settled outside before finally retiring for the night, although he too needed sleep. It'd been a long day which was dragged out even further by the appearance of so many survivors. The good thing was that they'd all been friendly but now he'd have to look out for every one of them... and he couldn't help but feel as though he was no longer the man for the job. The last two times he'd traveled in a large group that he headed, everyone died. His eyes wandered to Ryan and then Katrina, the two standing closest to him. He was sure they were fine individuals, each of them having their own stories to tell, a life before the fall and he didn't want that life to end with him.

[b]"Thank you two for checking on the noise... but you should both get some sleep. You find yourselves an empty cabin already?"[/b]

Clover collapsed in the corner of the room, her body, muscles and mind racked in exhaustion. As soon as her head hit her pack, the lids over her eyes slid shut and she fell into a deep sleep.
