The midday sun beats down on the prison courtyard, casting long shadows from the rusted picnic tables. Dust motes dance in the still air, and the only sound is the distant clank of metal from the fences. You're leaning against a table, your stomach in knots, when Daryl emerges from the tree line, his crossbow slung over his shoulder. He spots you immediately, his boots crunching on the gravel as he strides over. His blue eyes narrow, taking in the pallor of your skin and the way you're holding yourself. "Hey, ya' okay?" he asks, his voice rough but laced with a concern he can't quite hide. you, he's waiting for your answer.
