[misswexler]

[Caroline has been trying to avoid the populated areas of camp and keep to the cornfields or otherwise....people-empty spaces. Everything is a little too loud, pressing in on her, a jangling awareness of people who get too close consuming her attention - their pulse, their smell, their footsteps. In a word, she's twitchy

[uhhh that's weird]

You okay?

[misswexler]

[not that good with kids on the best of days all you get is an abrupt veering in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION]

Fine.

[easybreezyidiot]

[zipping around so she's in front of her again]

You don't look fine.

[misswexler]

[whoa fuck that was unexpected. jerking backwards

also has no stock phrase at her fingertips for this one so you get a blank stare for a second]

[easybreezyidiot]

[leaning forward]

You get bit by a zombie?

[misswexler]

....no.

[easybreezyidiot]

Just making sure. You're being really weird. Unless you're always like this. Are you?

[misswexler]

[pressing her hands to her face like she's trying to either hide from the world or prevent her brains from falling out through her eyes

it takes her a moment to answer

it's a deep answer

wait for it]

...what?

[easybreezyidiot]

... Seriously, you look messed up.

[misswexler]

[you're so young that in some ways it's easier to hold herself off, but she still backs warily away, trying to keep distance between them] I got bitten by something.

[easybreezyidiot]

[unfortunately i am also SUPER DETERMINED to get up in your face]

What was it?

[misswexler]

[recoils. she's pretty fast herself, as in bounds back over twenty feet. given the way she trips over her feet when she hits the ground, she probably wasn't expecting it]

Don't do that.

[easybreezyidiot]

[stares at her for a second before following]

What the hell!

[misswexler]

[flashes TEETH at you. sharp shiny white teeth] Back off!

[easybreezyidiot]

[that was unexpected]

[misswexler]

[kind of trying to skulk off from your warm mass of beating heart and living flesh and blood bye also worst sneak ever]
