Cora blinks at Anthony's rifle, then over to Anthony and frowns, "You're sweating... you okay?"

"Yeah. Just dreaming," he told her, getting out of the car and looking around. Nothing in sight, really... Nothing to be seen or heard at all.

She blinks at him and frowns, getting out as well, going to go for the front seat she was in, "Hey Ant, i-if you want me to leave... I-I will... I-I don't want to cause you nightmares or-or make ya shake..." She looks back at him, thinking she did something for whatever weird reason is going through her head.

"You have nothing to do with either of those things, it's just my subconscious being a jerk. You're fine," he reassured her, listening to his surroundings. It was quiet.
Almost too quiet, in fact.

Cora blinked for a few moments before nodding, "A-Alright..." She closed the door with a thump and blinked around, "Wonder where we are specifically..."

(Just gonna throw this in for the sake of some action)

"I'm not entirely sure..." He whirled at the sound of a twig snapping, leveling his rifle at a stranger's face. "DON'T MOVE! STAY WHERE YOU ARE, HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM!"
The stranger jumped back, flinging his hands up to show he wasn't armed. "Whoa, steady," he said in a raspy voice. "I'm not gonna hurt ya, soldier. Just a weary traveler looking for some supplies, that's all."
Anthony glanced over at Cora a moment before looking back at the guy, reluctant to lower his gun. He was never happy when people asked for supplies, especially now when he had Cora to look after as well.

(( No problem, feel free ))

Cora flinches and blinked at the person, looking him over, pulling out her own gun to point it at him as well, "You got a name...?"

"Not important right now," the guy said simply, glancing over at Coraline. "Look, you got any food to spare? I'm starving here."
"Aren't we all?" Anthony retorted in an oddly cold voice. It was then that he heard something else behind him and turned in time to see another man in the trees leveling a gun at him. He knew something was off, he could feel it-
"CORA!" he yelled, turning and unloading on the man in the trees the same time he fired his weapon. The original man turned on Cora, starting to pull his own gun from behind his back.

Cora flinches and shoots three times at the original male, then goes to hide around the one side of the humvee, "Shit shit SHIT...!" She moves over and if the original man wasn't dead, she'd go to shoot three more bullets at him, aiming for his chest, neck, and head.

If the original dude wasn't dead already, he certainly was now.
Anthony went over and plugged the other guy in the head, having only shot him in the stomach when he had fired recklessly the first time. Taking deep breaths to calm himself, he trotted back to the Humvee, rubbing his shoulder in agitation. "Cora? You alright? Talk to me, Cora..."

She blinks for a bit before nodding and rushing over to her door, "Y-Yeah, I-I'm good..." She shuts her door with a slam, rubbing at her thighs as she shakes her entire body slightly, "N-Not as... not as clean as killing deaders..." She slumps into her seat and closes her eyes, "F-Frick..."

Anthony got in the Humvee too, keeping one hand on his shoulder and holding Cora tightly in his other arm. "It's okay, Cora, we're fine- we're okay- we had to kill them or they were gonna kill us... Sshhhh... It's okay."
He started to bring his other hand around to help in the hugging process, finally noticing the blood smudges on it. "Oh, shit- stay." He got out and went around to the trunk to get a first aid kit, keeping a hand planted more firmly on his shoulder now that he had come to the realization he had been shot.

Cora blinked as he got out, "W-Wait...!" She blinked around and got out, going to stumble out and trip a bit, but grabs to the side of the humvee to walk over towards him... She blinks over at the man laying on the road and suddenly hobbles over, going through his stuff.

"Get the guns," he suggested when he saw Cora rifling through his stuff, "see if he has any other weapons on him." He started dealing with his shoulder. Luckily it was his shoulder and not something more vital- it would probably heal up in a week or so. Nothing to worry about, he didn't think.

(Should I introduce nick soon? I keep flip-flopping over whether i should or not)

Cora doesn't even register what he's said until she's stuffed a few items into her back pockets, then freezes for a moment before nodding and grabbing the guns, going to toss them into the back seat of the car, then she hobbles back towards Anthony. "You nee-need help?"

((I know this won't be helpful, but it's completely up to you I really don't mind ))

"I'm good," he finally said after tying a bandage around his shoulder. He threw the first aid kit back in the trunk before walking over to Cora. "The question is, are you okay?"

She blinks, "I uh... I think so, yeah, d-don't.... think I got hit..." She blinks and looks herself over, then grabs at her arm, pulling it to her chest, "Heh... H-Harder... when they bleed like that..." She shakes her head and goes for her seat, stumbling for a moment before getting to the door.

"Cora?" He followed her, concerned and confused as she wasn't making a whole lot of sense. "You're fine, you're positive?"

She nods a bit, "Yeah... yeah just... n-never killed a living p-person before..."

He gave her a soothing hug, frowning slightly. "It's hard, I know. You just can't thinking about it that much..."
