"So that's one vote for Evan, Paige and Rick, this is going well," Shaun muttered sarcastically. "Well, Lindsey it's down to me and you. You get a vote too, so who do you pick?"

Lindsey thought for a long moment, Evan could almost see their names shooting back and forth in her mind. She'd sucked her bottom lip into her mouth, chewing on it slowly.

"I think you're all idiots," she declared finally. "Either all of us do it or no one does."

Paige couldn't help it, she burst out laughing and had to smother her hands over her mouth to stop herself.

"Oh my god," she said between giggles. "She's the smartest out of all of us."

Rick and Evan's lips turned up at their corners too.

"I guess in a way it makes sense," Evan admitted. "Besides, if the animals were sick, wouldn't we be able to tell? Like, if a deer died then birds would definitely eat at it, and if it did, wouldn't we have seen zombie birds wobbling around in the sky by now?"

Paige snorted and giggled again, the image of zombie birds coming across as comical to her rather than terrifying like in certain zombie films she'd watched as a kid.

"Or zombie rats running around in the grass?" Shaun smirked as well, barely holding back a laugh. "Though for the love of God, let's not hope there's zombie bears!"

When the mood had lifted again, Evan felt hunger remind itself and she tugged her plate closer, grabbing her fork and piercing a piece of peach on it, tossing it in her mouth swiftly afterwards.

"Okay, so for today, we'll head out in an hour or two and practice some fighting. And we'll deal with the hunting issue when it comes up again," Rick declared. "Everyone on board?"

Evan nodded, chewing thoughtfully and Lindsey did too.

"Sounds good to me. We can always combine the training and hunting together later, use some animals as target practise," Shaun said.

"Sounds like a good idea," Paige said, for once not having to foce the smile that was on her face as she finished her peaches. They felt sweet in her mouth, adding to the good mood in the room. "I guess it could work, as long as we don't waste too much ammo."

"It'll work, I'm sure," Shaun said confidently, before sliding his plate over to the other side of the table. "Do you want my peaches, Lindsey? I'm not hungry, plus you could use it more than me."

"Yes, thanks," she said instantly, graciously accepting the food.

Evan had to smirk then. "If you don't slow down you'll soon inhale the plate and table without meaning to."

Lindsey stuck her tongue out. "Oh, haha."

"I guess I'm gonna go get dressed," Paige muttered, tugging at her nightdress. She was in a better mood than she had been in weeks, but she still felt pretty stupid after what Evan had said about her. She slipped upstairs, scuffing her feet and wondering what to do. Did she just fake being a better person or would it come naturally? It wasn't exaclty like she could ask.

She sighed, pulling off the nightdress and pulling on a pair of loose cargo pants and a white vest that she found in the bedroom. They were a little loose, but she didn't mind as much as she would have earlier in life.

Evan stood up when Lindsey was finished, gathering the plates and bringing them back to the sink. Lindsey excused herself to go get dressed and Evan longed until she could do the same. She felt slightly uncomfortable wearing shorts and a massive t-shirt out around her friends, although she knew that in their world wardrobe choices hardly mattered at all. When Rick showed up next to her, carrying the last two plates, she offered him a smile and took them.

Paige was tempted to stay holed up in her room but a thought had occured to her so she went back downstairs, going back to Rick, Evan and Shaun.

"If we're going a while away to practise shooting, how will we protect the house while we're gone? I mean, it'll probably still smell like us and I don't want to come back to a house full of walkers..." She bit her lip, staring at her feet.

"The windows are boarded up, if we make sure the doors are secure it should be okay." Rick rubbed his face with one of his hands as Evan washed the plates carefully in the cold water.

"Well I suppose if there are any walkers nearby we should be better at taking them out after the training," Paige smiled tightly, running a hand through her hair and trying to act relaxed. The insult of being selfish was still going round her head and she was determined to prove it wrong.

"That's true," Rick agreed, smiling. Evan finished, putting the plates to dry, and then turned around.

"I'm going to go get dressed," she announced, and then moved past them, heading for her bedroom. She ran into Lindsey when she walked in, who was on the bed, brushing her hair.

Shaun was still sitting at the table, playing with his knife, a habit for when he was bored or anxious, Paige had noticed. Either way he seemed to be lost in a world of his own, so Paige took advantage of the moment alone to corner Rick.

"You know Evan better than anyone, right?" She asked slowly, keeping her voice neutral. "Does she really not trust anyone else? Or is it just me?"

Rick studied the woman in front of him for a long moment before answering. "She does trust you, but she's learned what can happen when you trust the wrong people. She told me about it, the other day. She and Lindsey barely got out alive and those other survivors were... well, in my sheriff days let's just say I would have arrested them and thrown them in jail with no hesitation."

Evan quickly changed into a pair of jeans and her white wife-beater, chattering with Lindsey as she did about everything and nothing. There were still a lot of thoughts whirling in her mind but she ignored them since none of them were pleasant and she didn't want the day to be ruined.
