There's caution in everything about him and his demeanor, the way he speaks and carries himself. He's been through a lot, she can tell / so has she. Glancing down at the basket of fruit, she offers a soft smile before looking back up at the scruffy man, "I mean, it came from his garden sure, but ----- these are from me. I ---- I needed to speak with you about something if... if that's alright with you?"
She moves forward in a non-threatening manner, not wishing to spook him in any sort of way, and sets the basket on a table near him so that he can indulge whenever he desires. "I'm Lucille, by the way."
A STRANGER;
There’s talk / Lucille knows little of the Saviors and their deal with The Kingdom ; but now there are others ——– a man named Rick and his people ( one of whom seeks refuge from the Saviors because he escaped their captivity ). She’s been here for a little over half a year and is training to be a warrior, she’s gotten quite well with a gun and even hand-to-hand combat / can drop the dead without batting an eye. People seem to be the biggest threat these days anyway.
Daryl Dixon. He’s harsh and brass on the outside, but she’s been studying him from a distance. When she’s close enough, there seems to be a softness in his eyes / a kindness even. No one knew she had been listening when she heard the name Negan, she let the thoughts mull around in her brain for an entire sleepless night. She has to know for sure, and so she takes the opportunity to approach Mr. Dixon when he’s alone.
There’s a gentle knock on a wooden door frame, not wanting to startle him. A small smile, curiosity hidden within caramel hues as she holds an offering in her hands / a basket of fresh fruit from the garden, “Hi. You’re Daryl, right?”
@theprixrity
TRY to work out a DEAL with The King. That's what Rick WANTED from Daryl, but he was UNSURE of where to even begin. Not that the hunter was in any kind of HURRY. The Kingdom wasn’t his HOME and with EASY STREET still rattling in the archer’s BRAIN, all he could focus on was bring an END to the saviors. It didn’t matter HOW, just as long as it was NOW.
The light knock made musicals TENSE, expecting it to be MORGAN. Yet bright hues turned up to see the WOMAN. He didn’t KNOW her, nor could he remember seeing her WANDERING around the kingdom. Yet the fruit offering seems WELCOMING, “ Yeah, 'm Daryl? ” His tone held CAUTION, as he eyed the stranger. Unmoving from his SPOT in the room, a brow raised, “ This from tha king? ”

It's been so long since she's had anything at all to eat. The only reason she's still alive is because of the rain providing enough water to keep her from dying of dehydration. But she's dwindling, she can feel it. The hunger is starting to get to her, she's getting desperate. Her thoughts went to morbid places, even considering cutting off pieces of her own flesh and cooking that.
It's been weeks, it seems.
Every hunt, every scavenge / she endured so much trying to find food with nothing but sanity-killing hunger to show for it.
Almost a year ago, there was this stray dog that found Lucille at a low moment where she thought about ending it all. Ending all of the fear, all of the evil of this world now. But this goddamned dog came out of nowhere and trusted her immediately / as though it was a sign to keep going. This dog made her a little bit stronger.
And now, that dog's name is Baxter. Sweet and scruffy with loving eyes and a gentle soul. But it's been weeks. Lucille is dying. She didn't know what hurt more / her stomach slowly eating itself or the way it felt to have to put a bullet in that goddamn dog's head. That goddamn dog that was her only friend, and in a moment of utter insanity driven by the hunger, the desperate, disgusting human nature just to survive... she killed him.
Lucille is sobbing the entire time she consumes his cooked meat, and she feels as though she might be sick just thinking about what she's doing. The thing that actually makes her sick, however, is what happens shortly after she fills her starving stomach.
There's a kid... a young man, standing before her. And she lost it, on her hands and knees wrenching up the dog she just ate. She feels disgusting, and mortified with herself. And maybe this kid is here to help, maybe he has food and she....
She killed him.
She killed Baxter.
He's gone...
