THERE  HAS  BEEN  A  LOT  OF  RUINATION,   this  is  their  world  &  war  is  always  the  answer  they’ve  never  wanted.    there  is  still  a  difference  between  a  casualty  of  this  war  &  a  destructive  individual.    caitlyn  always  believes  in  the  former  until  she  absolutely  can  not.     “   --   there  are  a  lot  of  things  still  upright  around  you.   it’s  not  all  ruins  from  where  i’m  standing.   ”     it’s  that  sheriff  intonation,  a  leader.    caitlyn  holds  out  her  gloved  hand.

“   How was it supposed to end?   ”     Caitlyn just replies back,  and it echoes off the nearest buildings.   She doesn’t get too close to Jinx,   it’s where she’s weak.   Blue eyes are still on the younger woman,  both her hands on her rifle,  but her finger is off the trigger.   She wasn’t meant to kill   --   she knows she’ll never heal if she does.   It’ll be the biggest scar Jinx has given her yet.   Instead,  Caitlyn just answers from her hiding spot.   As if Jinx is the only person in the world who has infinite second chances.   

“I do not want to have to explain why I am here, again, for the fifth time.”

"Really? It doesn't look that bad," Wanda replied, a slight frown on her face. "I'm sure just bandaging it up will be fine... I've had worse."

A  frown  tugged  on  Toni’s  face  when  she  said  that.  “You  aren’t  going  crazy.”  Toni  said  quickly,  reaching  out  to  touch  the  other’s  hand.  “Wanna  talk  about  it  or  no?”  She  offered  softly,  giving  her  an  uneasy  smile,  Toni  was  trained  for  this,  she  should  be  able  to  help,  but  even  then  there  was  only  so  much  Toni  could  do  when  it  came  down  to  it. 

❛  —we will.  ❜   there is no hesitation in his answer.  it’s become very clear to rick that the people of alexandria have no idea what it’s like outside of their gates.  they’ve become soft and unaware and that just won’t do,  not if they want to survive.   ❛  we have ta’ play it smart here,  maggie.  but we will.  these people  [  . . .  ]  they need t’know.  ❜
