Beth Greene, Hershel's youngest daughter, Maggie's little sister and she's thought she loved, and lost-- and lost and lost. Sometimes, it feels like that's all they have left anymore. Constant crushing loss. Every step forward, puts them in a path for more pain and loss.

She misses the days when things were more simple. Before the dead started walking, and just about everyone she's ever known was lost. And now... She lost one of the most important things left, the one thing--

Beth sniffles and wipes her eyes with a little shuddering sigh.

Sitting on a rocky outcropping and just stares off into the distance. The mountains are beautiful, she thinks her Daddy would have liked to see them, and without warning she sobs, and finds herself really crying again.

It was awful. Trapped behind that fence like that... not able to help-- or do anything. Stuck up there in the 'safety' of their false fortress while she watched. How do you come back from that?

He didn't deserve that...

He did everything he could to help everyone around him. He was a good man. A GOOD man... And what did it get him in this world? It wasn't fair. Rick was wrong, they couldn't have made it work. And see, the thing is... he and her Daddy would have tried and by the time they both knew what was happening....

It would have been too late.

Beth sighs... petting the tiny ball of fluff in her lap when it mewls at her. It's funny how this world works, what it does to you. How it changes people.

"I miss my Daddy, Daryl." And added a beat later. "And Maggie."

The fluffy and somehow scruffy rough looking scrappy little kitten looks up at her with a rather dubious-- or more likely bored expression. He reminds her of the rough cut crossbow wielding 'tough guy', who was probably better with Judith than she was. So the name fits.

Even if there's a nagging little tickle in the back of her head that says there is something a little weird about all of this, she figures as long as there aren't Walkers she's safe, and if she's not safe-- than God has graced her with at least a gorgeous view to spend eternity watching. "I wish he could be here to see this."

Allison spotted her right away, the only figure on the beach. She'd come alone to watch the lights, a few snacks tucked away in a makeshift pack made out of an old coat. She stopped a few feet away from the girl, trying not to listen but failing at it.

So she approached, settling down just a few feet away from her. Close enough that the girl could probably hear her, but far enough away that it wasn't creepy.

"They're beautiful, aren't they?"

Beth flinches, her hand falling to where her knife is-- should be-- but hen it moves back to stroke down the kittens back. She glances in the direction of the ~~threat~~ newcomer she notes the pack, her eyes drawn to it she can't help wonder... She pulls her gaze away turning back to look out at the view and nods, "They're amazing."

The movement isn't lost on Allison, and she doesn't blame her. This place is weird. She'd have done the same.

"It's probably one of the better things about this place," she says, tugging the pack open. It's all camping food -- dried meats, nuts and berries mixed together, a bottle of water. "The rainbow rain in the rainforest is kind of nice." And then she makes a face.

"Sorry, that sounded way better in my head."

It's habit, when everything around you is a threat. This place is strange, but Beth is content for the moment to maybe relax a little. The contents of the pack aren't too far off what she might have been carrying herself if she had any.

Dried meat-- keeps longer and doesn't attract so much attention. Berries-- Daddy and later Daryl (not the cat one) taught her which ones she could eat and which ones she couldn't.

The bottle of water though, that's a small wonder to the blonde, they'd run out of those-- she can't even remember how long ago.

She nods, taking in the little bit of information about her new surroundings. Then turns with a faint smile at the second comment. "Rainbow rain.." It's spoken a little wistfully, "that sounds interesting." but she doesn't ask more, no for now she sets that aside, questions for a little later.

"Are there Walkers here? I haven't seen any yet, but sometimes you can go days and not see one. Other times they just keep coming and you think they're never going to stop."

"Walkers?" Allison looks at her curiously, eyebrows furrowing a little bit. She might be putting the food an equal distance between them. A silent offer. The girl can take some, if she wants. If not, no harm.

"I've never heard of those, so I don't think so. Unless they're in a different part of the Wyld that I haven't been to yet."

Beth's brow furrows in a nearly matching expression, and maybe she shifts a little closer, the kitten squealing in retaliation for waking him. "You'd know what they are if they're here." And then a little quieter. "If they're here, they'd be everywhere."

Allison grows a little more serious at that, and reaches out the pet the kitten, shaking her head.

"I've never heard of them, so that means they're not here. What are they?"

Beth seems a little more at ease, still on edge, but a little better. "They're people-- well they were people once, but now they're Zombies." She pauses, reaching to take a little pinch of berry mix, "they're everywhere... back home. There's nothing left, been like that well over a year now."

Funnily enough, Allison doesn't seem phased by zombies. Werewolves and evil druids exist, why not the walking dead?

"Some kind of apocalypse?" She breaks off a piece of the dried meat and chews on it thoughtfully.

Beth nibbles at a few nuts and shrugs her shoulders. "Something got out. Something the government made. We're all infected." She pauses to take a few more bites. "We don't even have to be bitten, if we die we come back a monster."

"You're kidding!" Allison? Looks horrified. Appropriately so. "That's... That's awful!"

She pauses with a pinch of berries between her fingers, and turns to look at her new 'friend', her tone is solemn and serious. "I wish I was, then maybe-- maybe I'd still have my family, and my friends."

The lack of walkers is a definite plus. Outside of that, Daryl isn't sure how he feels about all of this. He knows Beth is here, but his first priority is to make sure that everything is safe. He gets the lay of the land, checks everything out and then goes to find Beth. He approaches her almost silently, plopping down on the ground next to her.

"You know, talkin' to yourself is one a those signs you're losin' it."

There's this moment of total uncertainty, before she lifts the kitten from her lap and throws her arms around his neck. She is so relieve he's here. "I'm so glad you're here, where ever here is."

Releasing him she gathers the kitten back up and settles close enough their shoulders bump. "I wasn't talking to myself anyway, I was talking to the kitten."

She totally named him after you. That's not weird right?

He's always a little taken aback by the fact that someone wants to hug him, so there's a moment where he's just still, letting her hug him before his hand goes to the small of her back, pressing ever so lightly.

His hand falls away when hers do and he's happy enough to settle close to her, his hands behind him, propping him up.

"Yeah? Where'd you get it? Ain't hardly big enough to put in a stew."

No, he won't really cook the kitten, even if she did name it after him.

She's sorry, she just... She's just so glad he's here.

She leans against him and looks down at the kitten, then back over to him with a little frown. "I don't know. He was just here." She shoves him with her shoulder and smiles a little because of the stew comment. "We should fatten him up a little first."

No, she doesn't believe he would cook it.

He's glad she's here as well, at least if he's got to be here. Particularly given that he feels like he needs to take care of her considering when he's coming from. She doesn't have any reason to apologize.

Daryl smirks and bumps her shoulder back. "Might be able to make a meal out of him if we let grow up a little."

"I hear cat tastes a little like raccoon." She jokes, glancing over at him with a that little smile on the corners of her lips.

"I named him after you." She chuckles to herself and looks down at her lap and the kitten. "I thought I was going to be alone without you and... I wanted-- I thought if he was going to keep me company...."

She trails off feeling nine kinds of silly and childish.

"Everybody likes a good coon stew," he jokes back.

However, her revelation about naming the cat after him gets a confused look, a bit of 'are you crazy'. After she explains, the look softens.

"He's lots cuter and cuddlier than I am. Might want to stick with the cat."
