I did grow up in a zombie filled world so I know how they feel and can handle it
I see... Well, maybe we can help each other out then. I've been trying to find a safe place to settle down, and it seems like you've got some skills.
Why not join me, the family has plenty of food and water
Alright, I'm in. But first, we need to make sure this little guy is safe. We can't leave him out here alone.
Let's gather some supplies and find a safe place for him. We'll need food, water, and maybe some blankets and warm clothing.

steps forward and raises his hands in a non-threatening gesture Hey, we mean no harm. We're just looking for a safe place to settle down. Leader: narrows eyes suspiciously What's your deal? Are you infected or something?
I’m not infected, but this child is, but he doesn’t attack me and doesn’t attack anyone unless they try to hurt me
Look, I understand your caution, but we're not a threat. We're just trying to survive like everyone else. This child may be infected, but he's also harmless. We've been taking care of him and keeping him safe. Can't we find a way to coexist? Leader: pauses, considering Kyle's words Fine, you can come with us, but if he causes any trouble, you'll have to deal with the consequences.
Thank you, leader. We really appreciate your willingness to give us a chance. We promise we won't cause any trouble and we'll do our part to help protect everyone.

Good, now let’s go to my home
starts walking with VelvetVoyager, constantly scanning their surroundings for any signs of danger So, tell me more about this community. How many people are there, and what kind of resources do you have?
there’s a total of 20 people including children and teenagers, and the adults are soldiers that will protect us. Also we have food, water, weapons and medical supplies

Yes it is. Now, let’s head back to my home shall we?
