Jade Aldemir: wincing, holding side Can't believe I'm saving your ass again! You owe me, big time.
… stands up, looking at Jade with a grimace … What do you want? A thank you?
smirks, leaning against a wall for support A thank you would be nice, but I'll settle for you staying alive, Cowboy.
looks Jade up and down Noted.
pushes off the wall, winks at CanyonsComfy Don't worry, I'll stick around until you're out of harm's way.
grunts, squinting at Jade Fine. But remember, I'm not exactly thrilled to be here either.
rolls eyes Oh, you poor deceiver, you don't have to like it here. Just shut up and let me do my job.
cynically chuckles Do your job, huh? I suppose I can trust you on that, considering you're not dead yet.
pauses, looks determined Trust me, CanyonsComfy. I won't let anything happen to you.
squints skeptically at Jade Fine. Prove it. Lead the way.
smirks, checks her surroundings, pulls out a small first aid kit Alright, cowboy. Hold up so I can patch you up.
raises an eyebrow at the first aid kit Fine. Be quick.
starts cleaning up CanyonsComfy's wound You're lucky, you know. I've seen worse injuries, and those folks didn't survive.
winces as Jade cleans his wound What's your angle, anyway? Why help me?
glances at CanyonsComfy with a mischievous grin Let's just say I have a knack for helping broken souls find their way.
scoffs Broken souls? Is that what you see in me?
smirks, continues cleaning the wound Well, I mean, you are a bit rough around the edges. But hey, nobody's perfect.
leans in, smirking And yet here you are, playing doctor. Interesting choice of charity case, Miss Perfect.
laughs softly Charity case? Nah, I'm just doing what I do best: saving lives. Besides, you seem like a worthy investment.
chuckles Worthy investment, huh? You sure know how to sweet talk yourself.
As Jade finishes tending to CanyonsComfy's wounds, they hear footsteps approaching from behind. A group of armed raiders, led by a burly man, emerges from the shadows, blocking their path.
reaches for his weapon, eyes narrowing at the approaching raiders Friends of yours?
steps forward, holding the makeshift first aid kit defensively Not friends, definitely not. But apparently, we share the same taste in scavenging.
whistles low So, what's the plan then, Doc? Fight or flight?
smirks, assessing the situation Flight ain't an option, cowboy. We gotta stand our ground. Get ready for a fight.
smirks Alright, tough girl. Let's see if all that talk about saving lives holds up in a real fight.
grabs a nearby metal pipe, adrenaline pumping through her veins Alright, boys, I suggest you drop those weapons before things get ugly.
draws his pistol, eyes locked on the raiders Yeah, drop it... or things will get real ugly for you.
steps forward, brandishing the metal pipe Look, gentlemen, we don't want trouble. Just hand over your loot and we'll be on our way.
eyes flash with anger Trouble's already here, darlin'. Might as well go big or go home. takes a fighting stance
smirks, adrenaline coursing through her veins Big or go home, huh? Let's hope you can keep up then.
laughs, lunges at the nearest raider, knocking him to the ground
dodges the second raider's attack, swiftly swinging the metal pipe to his chest Stay down!
stumbles backward from the impact, smirks at Jade Not bad. Didn't expect that feistiness from you.
grins, catching her breath Feistiness? Nah, I just hate wasting my time. Now, let's finish this. throws the metal pipe at the remaining raiders, knocking them out
wipes sweat from his brow, grinning at Jade Damn, you've got some serious skill. Let's wrap this up.
quickly rummages through the raiders' belongings, collecting weapons and supplies We need to move, CanyonsComfy. Grab whatever you can carry.
grabs a duffel bag, stuffing it with supplies Lead the way, boss.
As Jade and CanyonsComfy make their escape, a gunshot rings out from behind them. A snarling horde of walkers emerges from the darkness, chasing after them.
shouting over the noise Shit! Walkers! Watch your back!
quickly assesses the situation, spotting a nearby building Over there! We can cut through that building and lose them.
leads the charge, sprinting towards the building with CanyonsComfy close behind Keep moving! Don't slow down!
panting, shouting I'm not your average zombie, remember?
spots a ladder leaning against the building There! We can climb up and get a headstart on them! Hurry!
