I’ve already got your shift covered, Mason. Don’t feel obliged to stay.

That's alright, Chief, I'll be fine. A little sickness is nothing I can't handle.

You never know, man. It’s hitting some people pretty hard. This strain of virus that we have could be mutated too. Like the virus that made the geeks. You should probably take it easy.

Nah man, I'm pretty sure they would be putting us in a lock down basement by now if this virus can actually mutate that far. But if it makes you feel any better, I'd pop a couple pills tonight before I get on my shift, yeah?

It’s just a cold? Sorry, I forgot you were a doctor. And you look like shit, F.Y.I

Then there has never been a hotter look-like-shit, quite literally, actually. I'd actually admit to you here that yes, it's not just a cold, it's also a fever, just to make that pun works.

Finally— someone who agrees with me. 

See? I wouldn't have known that you are sick if you didn't tell me that. You look fine, I look fine, it's not like we're coughing up blood everywhere we go or anything.

If you don’t take it easy, you’re gonna be laid up in the hospital with the rest of us.

Yeah, being alone out there seems a lot more dangerous the longer we wait. 

And where do you suppose we go? Because everything here is so five star.

I thought the fancy part was the blood and gore? What changes your mind?

It just sounds better. Like, instead of just slowly walking around and bumping into a tree, running from the threat of death and colliding with a tree just sounds more heroic. Otherwise, I just sound like an idiot… which happens a lot.

Well, they aren’t goin’ to let me go out there otherwise, and I need to go if we’re ever goin’ to make any progress in the labs.

Well then I'm afraid you might need to find someone else to get a gun from, 'cause I'm not giving it to you just so that you can go out and risk your life out there.

mace-sanders:

Nope. Not at all.

Right, so you enjoy people’s company as long as there is something in it for you, am I right? That is rather… Sad. Right anyway the message, one of the scavengers who I’m about to go out with sent me, she couldn’t come because she had to get her bow restrung so she wants to… Wait let me get her exact wording right… She wants to know what her Macey Wacey wants her to try and find… So what do you want Macey Wacey?

Ugh...

The imaginary date of killing walkers? Why am I not surprised?

Pure talent, clearly.

But if all of these joking makes you think I'm not going to be serious about the date I'd have to say you're probably wrong, y'know. Just saying.

Wow, I’m touched— Definitely the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard of.
