The soldier’s initial reaction was hostile; the raised sword pointed directly at Robert’s chest didn’t scream ‘welcome’. However the encounter quickly turned serene and humane as the man approached with a shielded sword. Robert lowered his hands as the man approached with a calm demeanor. “[color=fff79a]I’m sorry, but I don’t fear them anymore. I’m more frightened of not being me[/color],” Robert said truthfully, addressing his order to be silent in the presence of the dead. He no longer felt the threat of walkers as he did in the beginning - it was his faith in God that shaped his confidence and did away with the fear.

The man proceeded to answer Robert’s question - he had not seen Laiyla. The news however did not falter Robert’s confidence to find her, but his reaction was not flux with surprise. He knew she was still out there, felt her presence in the world everyday. Unfortunately this man would not be his ticket to her, so Robert thanked him, recovered his belongings and was prepared to continue his journey, until...

The clear sound of a boisterous vehicle came from the road ahead. Robert swore he could smell the carbon monoxide it released into the air, but that may have been his imagination. The noise clearly turned the soldier anxious. His overall body language changed and he appeared drastically cautious. The two men then took to the sound - see if it could lead them to Laiyla. 

“[color=fff79a]It’s a pleasure to meet you Hadrian[/color],” Robert expressed, being thankful for the man’s willingness to lend a hand - even if it was just until they found the vehicle emitting the loud sound. 

As the two men continued down the road, the silence between them grew. They didn’t know each other, hardly shared enough to label themselves acquaintances. Therefore Robert decided to do his best to find out more about the stranger - clear the air. “[color=fff79a]You said you haven’t been with people innsome time? Am I the first person you’ve come across in a while? [/color]” It was clear that Hadrian had experienced some trauma, it was all over his faceial expression. What made him different than many of the people Robert had come across on the road is that whatever occurred did not stop his ability to see some light in the darkness. Some may label that as courage or survival, but that was surely faith - something Robert could relate to. 

At a steady pace the two men moved onward - the vehicle’s sound growing louder. The men were either getting closer to it or the vehicle was in motion, it was very difficult to tell. Either way, Robert was certain that they would catch up, one way or another. “[color=fff79a]Hey Hadrian, are you hungry? I’ve got some chips here in my bag somewhere...[/color]”

Robert dig through his bag and pulled out two small bags of chips. “[color=fff79a]Ranch or Cheese?[/color]”
