Andrew turned his eyes over the map again, concentrating over and over it like a book. They needed to keep close to the highway. No doubt there would be infected there, it wasn't unlikely that they weren't going to come across them. It was certain. No matter where they went. They were a large group, certainly, and safety usually came in large groups. Yet so did a lack of it. Siblings would help siblings and friends would help friends. He'd already made Mary swear not to save him. He wasn't losing her because of himself. Two brown eyes looked over the group, watching his wife wonder round to check everyone was still healthy; perhaps could never stopped being a doctor.
"Hey, Earl. Show us where this town is." Andrew shouted, taking the near-empty Biro out of his pocket and the compass he had taken from what remained of Milo's things. If there was a town nearby, they could easily split into two groups, maybe even three and search for supplies. That way, they'd certainly not be eaten freezedried rations again. He was desperate for something whole and nourishing.
Mary had always made it her job to see to the health of everyone in the group. The last thing they needed was something affecting them all. Mary left Emilie to douse the small fire they'd made and moved over to each group. She usually checked wounds and temperatures, however things were a little more intimate with the ladies. It was always easier to jump in the deep end first. She tucked her handgun with her husband and walked over towards Elise and Sarah.
"Hey, you both okay? Andrew has the idea to do a stock run in the next town. If you guys need anything, I think me and Rena can grab you something extra if your hands are too full." In the short few months everyone had been travelling together, it had become a well established thing, doing supply runs with a woman who seemed to excel in climbing over walls and broken down buildings. "If you need anything though, feel free to say." She passed another smile and waited a few seconds. It was tense alright, even more obvious that Elise didn't exactly trust everyone. It made a lot of sense, there wasn't much trust going around these days.
Mary took her attention elsewhere shortly after and moved over to Rena.
"How you feeling?" She asked, walking over slowly. "We're stopping in the next town, we could use a hand grabbing some supplies." Mary grabbed a few belongings off the floor and passed them over to Emmett. She continued down with Rena and stopped closer to her husband and his map. "Rena and I will pick up supplies, if need be." Andrew quickly turned his head and frowned. Mary knew how this worked, she carried a radio, if anything happened, anything at all, she rang Andrew and then everything would usually be okay.
Emilie moved through the small crowd and dropped her bag down by Cameron and Annie. She opened her bag again and fumbled over a small set of supplies she'd found in the university the night before.
"Here, I found these." She handed over a small makeup bag and a hair brush. "We found it in one of the rooms." Annie would probably find more use for it than herself. It allowed a person to feel more at home. Home, for Emilie was in a pool, swimming. It was a little harder to find than most things in the state of the current world.
**Apologise for the assuming with Rena, however it was possibly needed as I couldn't continue my post. Also, could find a way to fit Nick and Marc in as of yet, but I'll grab them in once Earl replies.**
