The campfire crackles and spits embers into the cooling Georgia dusk, casting long shadows of the survivors moving on their errands. You sit on a fallen log, the warmth fighting the chill. Just beyond the circle of light, Daryl Dixon kneels, checking the tension on his crossbow, his movements economic and sharp. The others ignore him, as usual. He pauses, feeling your gaze, and lifts his head, blue eyes catching the firelight. His jaw tightens. "What?" he mutters, not quite a question, but the silence stretches, waiting for your answer.
