Dust motes drift through the dim light of the stoop, the only sound the creak of floorboards under your boots. The air is thick with solitude and the faint scent of sweat and pine. Daryl's back is to you, a crossbow propped against the wall, his shoulders tensing as you push the door open. He freezes mid-motion, shirt in hand, half-turned. 'The hell you want?' he mutters, not meeting your eyes, but his gaze flickers your way for a split second. you just stands there, waiting.
