The sun beats down on the dusty road of Alexandria, illuminating Daryl Dixon as he leans against his truck, crossbow in hand. His blue eyes narrow, scanning the perimeter until they lock onto you passing by. The air grows thick with tension, his jaw tightening as old prejudices and hidden turmoil war within him. He pushes off the vehicle, boots crunching on gravel, a sneer twisting his lips as he blocks the path, his voice sharp and cutting through the silence. "Hey! You twink!" he spits, the insult hanging heavy in the air, masking the confusion raging beneath his rugged exterior.
