[born_this_wayne]

you want us, there's a difference.

you'll see soon enough that you can do this on your own.

text.

[quacked]

[No, he wants to say. I need you both. But maybe it's really not as true as it once was.]

I'll try

I'll miss you

[This isn't fair.]

[Duck isn't so stupid that he thinks it's very likely that he and Clem will make it out of this alive. But he's allowed to be childish now more than ever.]

Hey there, kid. Ikaruga told me you needed some furniture moved? [He won't ruin the surprise yet.]

[Video]

[quacked]

Yeah! Down by the library, there's this sofa... Can you help move it?

[Video]

[prophesiedone]

No problem. Where does it need to be moved to? Can you show me the way?

[Video]

[quacked]

Sure! It's at the library right now. But it has to go all the way to the other side of town.

hey nerd. can i ask you about something? it's not a fun thing to talk about, so its okay if you don't want to answer

but also i promise i'm not going anywhere. its not about something like that.

text;

[quacked]

yeah you can ask me anything
what's the matter

[survivorsguilt]

back home
were you safe?

and also
if you could choose would you go home
or would you stay here?

[quacked]

[ The reply takes a little longer than it usually might. Duck is glad she asked through text though, that's easier. ]

i died back home. i was bitten by a walker and someone had to shoot me or i would turn into one to.
i can't go back home.

i was somewhere else before i got here tho. we called it the box, it was sorta like this place because there were guys who kidnapped people from all over to bring them there as well. but i dont really wanna go back there either. all my friends there are gone now.

if i could choose i'd stay here.

[survivorsguilt]

[Well. That fucking decides everything, doesn't it? Duck, Jo- without this place, they both have nowhere to go. Nowhere to exist. Her mind is made up.]

hey
im gonna make sure you dont go back there
and that this place will stay safe for you
i promise

thanks
for telling me

[quacked]

you cant promise all that [ He knows she can't make it safe here, or anywhere really. No one can. ]

but thanks
i'm really glad you're my friend

[survivorsguilt]

[She doesn't push the point. He's right.]

me too
see you soon kiddo
