A War In My Mind

—Seriously? You bumped into me. Not the other way around.

"I guess it would just be both of us."

I think we can manage. We just have to figure out how to get books. I was already warned about leaving past the walls of this place, so I'm not much help.

You really think any of that stuff works? Like praying about it? I would think someone would have prayed about the virus in the first place and for it to just disappear. That didn't exactly work.

  I don’t mind giving people things. It’s not that big of a deal but guns are another story. 

Never know when there  might be walker's around and you need it. Especially lately.

I'll try. I make no promises though.

That would be the idea but I don't know about that anymore. Guess we'll see. I just want everyone that's going to come back in one piece.

Yeah I do have a problem with it. When I trust someone and they turn around and decide it's a great idea to rat me out. So much for my kindness--won't make that mistake twice.

Your little teacher told me. He spilled the beans right before I shot the little fucker twice, guess he didn’t know it was supposed to be a secret.

Really? That's real freaking great. Uhm, did you need anything else besides warning me about going outside the gates?

No I'm going to hang back here. I wouldn't do much good probably. What about you?

  Then this is probably not one of your best ideas to do. I would say you could do it while I’m out there but I kinda need my guns.

Maybe not, but I'm not letting Annie go without knowing how to defend herself. It's fine, really. I wouldn't ask you to give me anything.

  Got it all worked out, don’t you? But yeah, I can help. I just— I’m trying to stay off Wolf’s bad side, personally.

Got to have a plan anymore. Yeah I wouldn't want to get you into trouble. I'm already on Wolf's shit list and on strike two, so trust me, I'm not looking to poke at him anymore.

It'll probably calm down after the supply run. That's what everyone's saying anyway.

  She’s not going to have a gun if something major happens. They are all locked up and stuff— even in an emergency. Just putting that out there.

In the event of an emergency, I can always ask Grant. He's got more than one to spare and probably no problem sharing in that situation.

A little bit but that's expected. I mean what's not stressful anymore?

  Mmm. We just— Ammo and stuff. People get pretty pissy if we waste it. I— We just can’t go shooting for the Hell of it. So, she’s gotta be ready to fake it for the first bit and learn from talking about it.

Of course. I just wanted her to get the feel for it and learn what she can before shooting. I don't want any of us in trouble for it either, but self-defense classes aren't going to cut it in the event something major does happen--I would like to know that she can defend herself.
