Who: Octavia (with baby Aurelia) and Murphy What|Where: O's braving WalMart When: Saturday Warnings: Murphy and a baby? That's an awwwww warning, I think! Status: Closed
Living in the woods with a baby wasn't exactly ideal. It was a way of life for Lincoln, Octavia, and Aurelia, though. And Octavia wouldn't have it any other way. She'd hated living in the house, surrounded by walls and doors instead of earth and sky. But with the baby, she also felt they needed to take advantage of a few modern conveniences, and many of those things were available at WalMart.
So she packed Aurelia up and headed out to the megastore. She hated going there. There were basically two types of people there. The ones who cooed and cawed over the baby, and the ones who ignored her because of the baby. She preferred that crowd, in all honestly.
She grinned, though, seeing someone she knew up ahead. She and Murphy weren't close. She wasn't even sure they were friends. But they came from the same place, and she knew what he'd been through, what he'd survived, what he'd fought against to get to where he was. "Murphy," she called out to him. "Are you working?" She'd just say hi and leave it at that, if he was. She didn't want to get him in trouble or anything.
