Their eyes locked, Renata felt a chill go down her spine… and ice flow through her veins, next, at his words. It did not take long for the heat of anger to melt away the chill, however. Light pink spread over her features in a heartbeat, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly as she tried, without much success, to reign in her temper. “I’m sorry I never considered the possibility of a Zombie Apocalypse,” Renata finally told him, little bits and pieces of gold falling against her jawline. “In fact… I never believed I may have to use a weapon in order to… defend myself against creatures out to eat my flesh. I’m<i>sorry</i>I am being so ridiculous that I thought a gun might make this predicament a little easier!” Careful not to raise her voice, or else draw unwanted attention, Renata quickly tore her gaze away… swallowing past the lump in her throat.<br/><br/>“I-I’m sorry,” she apologized under her breath, after an eternity passed by in silence. “I-I just… I have no idea what to do… I never… I never thought anything like this would happen… I’m absolutely terrified, and I just… I don’t know…” At her breaking point, Renata broke down crying, rubbing at her eyes and sobbing quietly. A few tears did manage to escape her notice, glistening like diamonds as the drops rolled down her cheek. “I-I saw my coworkers… get torn apart by those… those things… and just a few minutes ago, I came across… Alex… He was always so sweet, but… he wasn’t the same anymore… I… I had to kill him. I didn’t want to, but… he… he had pinned me down, and… I had to. I just… I had to, otherwise I’d become just like him…”<br/><br/>Renata brushed aside several strands of gold from her eyes, a heavy weight settling over her shoulders at the memory. “I… I would like to go with you,” she hiccuped. “I’d like to stop by my apartment still, to get a few of my things… however… I will only stay until I can… survive on my own… if that is alright with you.” Renata lifted her head, eyes unusually bright… luminous, really, big pools of dark green. There was still a pink blush along her features, however… it was darker now, more along the lines of rosy red than anything else. How quickly will this spread? she had to wonder, the questions like a plague at this point. Is it some sort of virus? How can we stop it? Can we stop it? Her heart racing fast, Renata tried to calm herself by drawing in a deep breath. “Please? I know it is asking a lot, but… I would appreciate it…”<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Lost in thought, it was a long moment or two until Ami returned to the present. For some reason she couldn’t even begin to comprehend, Jessica decided to try and balance a beer can on top of her head… the one guy -Leo, was it?- was stuck, and Khun… was looking at her? Why? Ami tilted her head, whimsical curls of red falling against her cheek and jawline as their eyes met, dark blue and deep green. If she didn’t know any better… there was a question there, within their depths… but as for what it is, she had no idea. Abruptly Khun stood, breaking the little moment they were having… if they were, really, having one. Her lips parting with a sigh, Ami watched things unfold between him and Jessica, more amused than anything else. Okay, no, not quite. Under different circumstances, she’d find it funny… but with zombies lurking outside their door, waiting for an opportunity to snack on their brains… no, not so much. The situation calls for seriousness, not horseplay, in her opinion. Of course, how heavily her opinion weighs on any matter, it’s hard to say. “Lock my door if you leave, if you’re staying here, don’t make noise.” Ami blinked, only to be taken by surprise as their eyes met yet again… this time, the message clear. What…? A bit confused why he’d extend an invitation, Ami tore her gaze away, looking elsewhere as she thought it over. Thing is… she and Jessica are really similar, being both hot-headed at times, blunt, outspoken… but their opinions on what to do next are completely different. Not only that, but she hardly knows this Leo guy as it is...<br/><br/><i>Eh, why not? We can talk about where to go next.</i><br/><br/>Pushing away from the counter, Ami grabbed herself a soda this time around before following him. At this point, she’d love to have a little privacy… even if it means sharing it with him. Inside, she found him settled in one of the comfy plush chairs. “Need a little time to yourself?” Ami threw out there. “I’m sorry to barge in, but I need a little time away from all… that, too.” A shrug rolling through her shoulders, Ami glanced around before taking a seat on top of the desk. It provided her with a good view of outside, not only that… but it’s something she’s always wanted to do, just because. In the courtyard, there were several zombies shuffling about… waiting for prey to present itself with a silver spoon, Their moaning and groaning was all she can hear… that, and terrified screaming in the distance. Ami sighed, taking a sip of her Coke before offering it to him. “Okay, so… we’re stuck here, at least for now. Whenever we do head out, where do you suggest we go?” Having a gun is both a danger to have and a necessity, more like a last resort, really. It’s good to have, but it’s better to have other options, such as, say, a baseball bat. Ami knows martial arts and kendo, so that’s something… however, she can’t fight them all with just her fists. “I think it might be best to get out of the city, ASAP,” Ami spoke up, crossing her arms beneath her breasts. One leg went to cross over the other… dark blue riding up to reveal quite a bit of ivory skin, as denim dipped low to expose what little of her bra it can. It didn’t take long for her foot to start tapping at the air. “This… whatever it is, will start spreading… fast. The city has tons of people, so it might be best to head out to the country…”
