Alexander Thaddeus Way

Alexander let out a low bittersweet chuckle at Kennedy's response to his own revised version of the question he asked. His silvery green eyes flickered up into a hole in the ceiling which revealed the darkness of night. It was fairly into the night time, a dark navy blue sky filled with twinkling stars. When he was little, the young Alex was fascinated by said stars, space, and anything involving the outer galexies. It seemed so complex, and Earth seemed so simple and blase next to it. But that was before flesh-eating rabids began hunting and feeding off of the human species. Now Earth seemed like the main deal of entertainment in the universe.

He untucked his arms from behind his neck, and crossed his toned arms across his chest; his broad shoulders slumped against the crumbling wall. A soft sigh escaped him, shaking his head slowly. "You would be the first to admit that." He admitted with no hinting at his emotion. If you were to read the lad, his facial expression would be little to no help whatsoever. "Even I wouldn't say that. I've done some bad things, but I guess I'm trying to weigh out the bad with the good I'm trying to do-" He motioned towards Tonx and Kennedy herself with a tilt of his head.

A yawn escaped the predatory looking lad, as he attempted to cover his mouth with a large callusy hand. As the yawn ceased, Alexander's hand returned to crossing his arms across his chest. He caught Kennedy staring at him for a moment, and gave a sheepish smile. "Don't try to figure me out, darlin', it'll only confuse you more. Heck- even I confuse myself on a daily basis. I guess I just work on my instincts- I have a strong gut." Alexander said in a gruff tone- however it sounded genuine and a bit nicer than his previous tones.

Looking up to see that Tonx finally awoke, his face teemed with concern for the young gal. "I wouldn't thank me just yet," Alexander started, before wiping his palms on his dark jeans. "Tomorrow morning, I'm going to make a run to a pharmacy a bit further up the road. I'll be in and out in less than an hour. If we're lucky, they'll have some arthritis medication, or possibly anything of value." He explained the plan with a quick easiness before returning his gaze to Trooper's muzzle placed on his thigh. The dog's abdomen rose and fell slowly, showing that he was in a deep sleep.

"When you feel like quitting think about why you started"

Kennedy-Leigh McCally

It was now almost the dead of night and the young brunette still wasn't tired, however this wasn't unusual as she often had sleepless nights and didn't go to sleep until late, but surprisingly she woke bright eyes and bushy tailed despite all the havoc that had overcome the once beautiful city. It was Hunter she was more worried about, he hadn't had much sleep in a few days and he did look rather tired at times and he still tried his best to keep her safe. For a minute or so she took the time to glance down at the sleeping canine with a smile it was nice to see him resting for a change and boy did he look relaxed[-seeing her companion calm and safe brought a sense of happiness over her-which she also felt for the three others she had recently met.

Kennedy still remained slouched against the solid wall as she glanced around the room once again. Although everything was like a total disaster she wouldn't change the situation for the world. Her companion was safe, she had met three other survivors she hoped a group would soon form, they had shelter and supplies - what more could she have wanted. But the young woman wasn't sure if the two felt the same as her, either way she didn't care she was happy and so was Hunter - if sadly the group did split it would be sad but she would just go with the flow.

Hearing Alex speak once more his voice seemed less gruff than earlier, she wasn't sure whether it was because he was tired or he felt a little more relaxed now. Her attention was took away from the dazzling stars in the sky to glance at the green eyed man "Yeah well, that's what you seem like" she admitted with a smile. But the smile soon faded as he continued with his next sentence and somehow she could related "That's alright, everyones done something bad in their life - and most don't attempt to make a change." she answered her gaze softening a little.

Alex agreed that he was hard to read although it was true Kennedy herself slightly agreed, she was quite good at reading emotions even from the most blank people, it was something she would often to. If someone passed by or she was in the street she would look at a persons emotions and somehow know what type of mood they were in. In order to prove him wrong Kennedy did look at his facial expressions but it seemed she had been caught out. "Caught me out huh, well I'm good at reading emotions so don't worry man..." she chuckled running a hand through her long fringe and combining at back with her hair "And I bet you're not the only one who confuses yourself I do it a few times..." she admitted with a role to her eyes.

Suddenly, a voice spoke up and it was of the one she now recognised as Tonx. Leaning forward a little she looked past the brown haired male and towards the raven haired girl - that sleep seemed to have done her good, her face being a bit more brighter than it was earlier. Smiling Kennedy shook her head "No need for a thanks, I tend to often help many people - pushing someone away would be a stupid thing to do at a time like this." she told which was true, in this apocalypse it was best to move in a group rather than alone. Alexander voice echoed through her left ear as he spoke about going to a pharmacy just down the road to seek medication for Tonx. For a second she turned to face Alex and she cracked  smile - revealing her pearly teeth - she appreciated what he was going to do for the unwell being.

Alexander Thaddeus Way

"Ah, I look like a nice lad, but looks can be decieving, no?" Alexander said bluntly, giving a subtle roll of his broad shoulders to stretch them out a bit. It wasn't everyday someone actually took the effort to piece together the complex being that was Alexander Thaddeus Way; Alexander himself didn't even take the time to do that. He just followed his instincts and on the rare ocassion, he actually followed after Trooper's nose and doggy-senses.

"But you seem lovely, as well as Tonx. I guess I'm the odd one out, eh?" He said with a slightly distraught chuckle, before shaking his head slowly. "Kennedy, do we have ourselves a group here, or not? I need to know before I go out tomorrow to risk my life for some medication." He offered lightly, holding out his hand for her to shake, and took his other hand out to Tonx. If they were a group, Alexander would now have to provide for several more people. There was something very selfless about Alexander that he has tried to hide before, but these people seemed so welcoming to his cold exterior- it was hard not to become slightly attached in the short time they were together. He almost felt obligated to help and protect them from whatever it was that was outside these walls.

Kennedy-Leigh McCally

Kennedy nodded in agreement to Alex's statement about looks,  it was true but even though she knew Alexander could be cold at times he still seemed like a rather nice being. She believed he still needed time to open up "Yes, yes they can be. Or some take longer to open up than others..." she spoke, as a reply to his comment turning her head and raising a brow and she gave her head a slightly nod.

But she soon glanced at Tonx who spoke about being 'bad' company. And the brunette totally disagreed, although the raven haired female seemed rather quiet and kept to herself Kennedy knew once she also opened up she would be an extrodinary being - not saying she already wasn't - but she may get involved in more conversation. "Don't be silly Tonx, you're great company as is Alex!" she reassured with a smile. 

"Nope you're not, we're all different lad.." she chuckled slouching down a little more. But as the young male asked her the question of being a group relief suddenly took over her body and a smile grew across her face - in order to taunt Alez she glared at him with a smile. Looking for a minute or so she nodded. Shuffling so she was now sitting with her back straight she pushed out her hand and locked it with the males - giving it a brisk shake. "I agree in being a group, if both you are willing to?" she spoke with a questioned tone yet a smile still on her face.

Tonx Keena Evergreen

Tonx looks at his open palm but is not as forward about the proposition as Kennedy. She wonders for a moment if it was a good idea for her to come along with them. What if she got them into problems?
These thoughts falter as she hears Kennedy's reassuring words. She seemed to believe it was a good idea and Alex seemed to agree.
"...I guess I could do with some company..." she huffs gloomily but despite this she had the shadow of a smile on her lips. She doesn't move her whole frame -too painful- but she extends her arm and places her hand in his, giving it a small shake in agreement.

Afterwards, she sighs and her chin drops onto her chest. This was probably the most eventful day she has had in a long time, and therefor the most exhausting. She seems to drift back into a mild sleep, now feeling oddly even more at ease at the fact they had promised on being a group. The anxiety of being abandoned again is still there but by the nature of these two, it seemed unlikely. But it was too early to say.

[Jane-Doe]

Alexander Way agrees with Kennedy, seeing as he himself takes a long while to actually open up- however this trio seems to bring out the softer side in the usual predatory lad. It made him feel humane once again. "Yes, just like myself, unfortunantly. But all good things come to those who wait." He assured her with a bob of his head, his silvery green eyes flickering around the room in his usual paranoid demeanor.


The lad smiles as they both agree, seeing as now he wouldn't have to be traveling alone anymore. Maybe now his paranoia would shake itself somewhat; if he could control it. Alexander's genuine smile scares his own being- did he really just join a group? Ah well, today was his lucky day- and most exhausting. He let out another yawn, before giving both of the gal's hands a squeeze before dropping them both. His hands returned to behind his neck, as his heavy lids fluttered closed. He murmurs lightly, "goodnight."

Kennedy-Leigh McCally

Nodding her head in agreement she glanced at Alexander and smiled, what he said was ofcourse true and she knew with time the group would open up to one another. "They sure do..." she spoke her voice trailing off a little as she turned to glance at the raven haired girl to see if she would accepted-it would be great if shhe did but if not Kennedy understood she may prefer to be alone.

But, once Tonx spoke the reassuring words that she to would like to be part of a group this brought a smile to her face - turning she glanced at the younger being and sent the smile in her direction. Not only would it benefit Kennedy she believed it would also benefit the other two and their survival rates would increase and they could possibly live through this chaos.

As she leaned back against the wall once again she began to examin the room, although this wasn't the best place to say it was a safe place and danger seemed to just pass by like it previous had done - and with supplies that was all they needed. Letting out a sigh she repeated "Good night" in reply to Alex and as she turned it appeared everyone was now asleep, smiling she looked up towards the sky a half smile on her face. Kennedy had decided to stay awake tonight and sit guard.

Tonx Keena Evergreen

It is a couple of hours before Tonx is again awoken, but this time she was disturbed by a quiet rumble from her stomach, which seemed louder due to the quiet environment. She sighs and takes up the bag of chips she had eaten from earlier. It was still mostly full so she starts grazing on the chips over a number of minutes. She then notices the girl, Kennedy still awake and mostly alert. She then turns to look at the now sleeping Alexander. She was indeed thankful that she had found him when she did, she didn't think she would have survived if she was left alone much longer.

Soon, the bag is half full and she looks again at Kennedy. She decides she could try to be a little bit more sociable than she has been and pushes the bag towards the girl.
"Were you... always alone before we met you? Or were you in a group at some point? Sorry if I sound nosey..." she adds at the end, she wanted to get to know this girl, seeing how they were going to be living together for a while. She slumps against the wall, her muscles are still seized up and it would be a while before they relax. Tonx's whole appearance seemed reminiscing of a small old lady.

Alexander Thaddeus Way

The lad dozed off into a deep, well-needed sleep. In the dark oblivion of his sleeping state, his head rolled back, against the wall; and chin  tilted upward. Alexander mumbled lightly in his sleep, his adam's apple bobbing up and down as his lips parted to mumble incomprehensible words.

Trooper woke up first, and decided his master should awake too. His salmon pigmented tongue lolling over his face, Alexander awoke with an exasperated gasp, before letting out a hearty chuckle; and giving the dog a pat or two. The two girls seemed to be conversing in the early hours of the day, and Kennedy looked like she got little to no sleep.

He would have to arrange a "watch" setup with her during night hours so she wasnt up all night. It just wasn't healthy.
Alexander rose and stretched, the hem of his shirt rising up and revealing a tattoo on his lower abdomen, scars littering his stomach. Alex gave a sheepish smile and tugged his shirt down before grabbing his crossbow: slinging it over his shoulder, so that it propped over his back; the strap slung across his chest.

Alexander then grabbed the Ak47 and let it hang over his right shoulder. He then slid into his fairly empty draw-string bag and gave another stretch of his back and arms; loosening his limbs up.

He neared the small hole in the wall, but turned back before exiting. "I'll be back in less than an hour, alright?" He tried to avert his gaze from the two women, keeping them trained on Trooper who was right on his heels: ready and rarin' to go.
