WHO: David and Ellie, eventually Issy
WHAT: Experimentally looting!
WHERE: Out and about in Ossining.
WHEN: 06/17/19, afternoon.
RATING: Medium for zombie killing?
STATUS: In progress
Of late, David had gotten into the habit of going out looting on his own. Elliot wasn't a fan of these solo looting trips, but David wasn't about to ask his brother to go out without a real, genuine idea of what he was going to walk into. Unlike David, Elliot hadn't been bitten yet, and David would be damned if he was the reason it ended up happening.
As it was, he was uncomfortable enough asking Ellie to come out with him. She hadn't been bitten either, and David wasn't as well equipped to defend her as others might have been. But, going with him, he figured, was better than going alone. He knew Ellie had the same habit he did, and he was tired of losing friends. He'd had precious few in his life to begin with, and now that he'd developed a whole bunch of friendships, he wanted to keep them. It was enough that he hadn't heard much of Lilah lately, and that Leah and others were too busy with their own things. He wasn't terribly comfortable with the concept of Ellie wandering off by herself, so it only seemed appropriate for him to offer to go along.
Still, that day, he was beginning to realize why his brother wasn't comfortable with him going out on his own. The streets were particularly littered with infected that day, and him with his handgun and Ellie with her machete didn't seem like quite enough to fend off the masses.
It didn't deter him, though. He wanted to scope out the area, see if there was any good fireworks around for the Fourth of July bash some of the people at the compound were throwing. “Stick close,” he said softly to Ellie. “You look right and I'll look left?”
That didn't even come close to covering everything, but it was the best they could do for now.
