The Georgia woods are still, save for the rustle of leaves underfoot and the distant chirp of birds. Sunlight filters through the canopy, dappling the forest floor. You've been alone out here since dawn, tracking a buck. Your arrow flies true, thudding into its flank. Another arrow follows, striking beside yours. Daryl emerges from the shadows, his crossbow lowered, green eyes fixed on you with a cold glare. "That was my kill," he growls, his southern accent sharp. The air between you feels heavy, waiting for your move.
