Millerson saw a man he had never seen before. He whimpered with fear and ran behind Skylar. He peeked again at the man, hugging her leg tightly.

Drew looked at the two kids, a bit confused. Why were they crying, he had met at least one of them before, and they didn't seem scared of him then.

She slowly realized who it was. She sighed in relief. “I didn’t realize who you were.. Sorry.” Skylar patted both of the kids heads. “It’s okay.. shhh.” She signed to Millerson, “it’s okay, calm down.”

She slowly calms down as she started to shake a bit in fear

He realized why the kids had panicked and grinned. "Thank you. That shower was quite necessary. I was getting rather tired of the smell.

“You’re welcome..” Skylar looked at the kids, but she sighed. She looked straight at the man. “IF I let you roam.. do I have to worry about these kids safety and the others safety? Or can I trust you to have common sense?” She didn’t really mean to be rude, but she couldn’t quite help it.. when she meets new people, she goes into a sort of protective mode.. especially with these kids around now. He hasn’t been around much, so she didn’t know him.. at all. And the first meeting terms weren’t great. Skylar looked at him, watching his expressions.

"Of course you can trust me. I'm not an idiot, and besides, nobody has given me a reason to hurt them...yet." He crossed his arms, looking at her with a steady gaze.

She picked up one of the canned foods as she slowly eats.

“If they give you a reason, come to me.. please.” Skylar was please by his response. “Will you help us scavenge for food when the time comes?” Skylar sat on the bed, careful of the girls leg. She put Millerson in her lap and looked st the man.

He nodded. "In return for a reliable place to stay, sure."

"How am I gonna help?"

“Thank you..” Skylar smiled a little at the man. Then she looked at the girl. “Uummmmmm.” She smiled at the girl and pointed at her leg. “You’re gonna lay there and let yourself heal. I’ll take care of you, you’ll be able to help us sooner or later.”

She lets out a sigh, "I need to shower, but I can't"

“It’s okay, everyone stinks at one point.” Skylar yawns a bit

While Millerson was sitting on Skylar’s lap,he started to get tired. So without realizing it, he yawned and leaned against her gently and slightly dozed off.

Skylar smiled and ran her fingers through his hair soothingly.

"How am I gonna shower without a leg?"

“Someone will probably need to help you at first, but after a while, you’ll be able to do it yourself.” Skylar talked softly, trying not to wake Millerson.

She sighed softly "It's my fault that I got bitten"

“How so?” She looked at the girl.
