New face in town (For killerfarmhand

[wontbeg]

Merle wasn't sure what to make of the new face yet. She was new to the town, new to his group, but she'd survived a night alone with geeks biting at her heels. Meant she had to have some skills to last out there so long, o at least one hell of a strong will to keep moving forward.

He approached her slowly and shifted his weight to one foot. His good hand slips into his pocket while the other hangs loosely at his side. "You gonna keep me company on watch tonight there, sweetheart?"

The words are drawled out, teasing and friendly enough. Friendly as Merle ever got anyway.

Maggie had been in Woodbury for a couple weeks and she was still getting used to it. The people there seemed friendly enough and she liked them but she found herself wondering about her family and the rest of others from the farm. Maggie wasn't sure if she'd been left behind or if all of them were dead.

The night the herd had come through, Maggie had tried to stay with Glenn, but when she saw her sister get cornered, she ran to help. And in the melee, she'd gotten separated from the group and had to run. She tried to stay close to the farm in case they came back, but they never did and she ended up spending the night in a deer stand.

When morning came, she started toward a local highway, where she literally ran in the Governor and his group. They were kind enough to take her back to Woodbury, where they fed her and gave her clothes to wear. The Governor even seemed sympathetic when she told him she'd lost her family, and even promised to keep an eye out for them while out on supply runs.

That evening, the Governor asked her to do wall duty with Merle since he wanted to see how well they worked together. She'd interacted with him a few times and he was no different from some of the guys she'd grown up with.

"That's what the Governor wants. He wants to see how well we work together," she said as she shifted the gun on her shoulder and started up the ladder. "And, stop lookin' at my ass."
