Audrey's gaze was focused out on the water. The silence had been comforting for a moment but now it was just unnerving. With all the time that had passed since she'd had a moment to herself, she had no idea what to do with it. Her mind wandered and worried about everything else going on and there was the over growing feeling that something was about to kill them all. How could anyone relax with that thought running through their head all the time?<br/><br/>She'd almost completely missed the question Sam asked but nodded a bit as she thought it over. The kid was...well, clearly not a kid for one, but she'd decided long ago that she liked him. He would do well for the camp and he seemed to not just have a good head on his shoulders but a disposition she had not seem from someone in a long time. He could actually bring hope back to those she looked out for...and that was a hard thing to turn away.<br/><br/>"Well," she shifted a bit closer to him. There was no way that this conversation could get back to anyone and while they were completely alone, so much can travel through the open air here that she had to be careful. "I was alone for a long time." She started, but really wasn't sure yet how much she was going to reveal to this stranger. Something about him made her feel like she could...like she could tell him everything and still be safe. But that couldn't possibly be true.<br/><br/>"After a while, I found a few families hiding. They had young kids so they couldn't go out and hunt as easily. When one of them got sick, there was nobody to go into the city that could get in and out without getting caught. So I stuck around...helped out. When more people came, we adapted and we grew...and now," she sighed and closed her eyes with a small shake of her head. There were tears threatening to fall and when they opened again, it was still too obvious for her liking how close she was to losing it.<br/><br/>"I ended up being something I never thought I would be. I just wanted to survive and now...now, I'm how everyone survives. We're a decent bunch here. We know what we're doing, but there's still really just me and Daniel that can go in and out of the city like we did. Ollie does a bunch of our scouting...but she's not always here so we have to venture further and further out to make sure we're kept hidden and we're kept safe. And of course, Daniel does the best he can. He's my best friend...but there are still limits to what he can do, so the rest just...falls on me..."<br/><br/>Her voice had gotten soft and she swallowed with difficulty, shaking her head. Her fingers gripped the edge of her sleeve and used it to wipe at a few stray tears. With a little sniff, she looked over at him and frowned a bit. "You tell anyone I was out here crying like this and I'll get you for it...."There was a bit of laugher in her voice though it was bitter. Audrey couldn't remember if she'd ever truly laughed a day in her life.
