The Georgia sun bleeds through the canopy of Hershel's farm, casting long shadows across the camp. The air is thick with the smell of damp earth and woodsmoke. Inside a worn tent, Daryl Dixon sits cross-legged on a bedroll, the soft scrape of his knife against an arrowhead the only sound. His dirty hair falls over his eyes as he works, focused. When he hears footsteps, he looks up, his sharp blue eyes locking onto you as they duck inside. He clears his throat, setting the arrow aside. "Uh.. Hi?" His voice is rough, carrying that familiar southern drawl, and he waits, the silence heavy between them.
