Now that Nora had collected herself a little bit, she wanted to help Josh with the band-aid or do something for him, particularly since she had caused it, but he was also a med student before and she was a film student and he probably knew a thing or two more about cuts than she did. Even if it was just band-aid worthy. Awkwardly, she watched as he took the band-aid from the cabinet, and felt herself smile loosely when he turned to look at her again.
Feeling herself color slightly as he echoed her job back to her, Nora didn't know what to think of that. She didn't actually expect to know anyone in the Hellhounds. She just thought it'd be a laugh, at the end of it all, and here was Josh, who she'd known before. Not well, but she knew him. And oddly, that made a huge sense of relief wash over her.
Nora felt herself laughing slightly in response to Josh's comment. "I mean, that's got to be really useful. All I can do is talk your ear off about Quentin Tarantino." She smiled sheepishly.
When Josh offered her a seat, Nora thought that she probably shouldn't be bothering him anymore, that she should probably buzz off because they didn't really know each other all that well. And then he mentioned salsa, and Nora glanced over at the cutting board. "Is that - fresh salsa? Are you kidding me?" Nora asked, kind of floored. "With real cilantro? Jesus fucking Christ, I haven't seen cilantro since... well, before. Yeah, I'll have some!"
She was probably being a little bit ridiculous, but she had lived from minute-to-minute when this all started. The last time she saw salsa, she resented salsa. Nora sat down at Josh's table, murmuring thanks as he finished up. "Well," she started, her heart coming up in her throat because she hadn't talked about this all that much. To anyone, really. "I was on my own for a while. For a long time, actually. Since this all started. And I was holed up in a playground close by, actually, for a couple days. The slides were empty, and no one knew it was there until my last day when some geeks showed up, and I just started running. And then I saw the crew. They must have been going on a supply run or something, and I ran until I found it."
Nora knew she was spilling, and there was a lot more to tell, but she really hadn't spoken at all about it. "I was alone before. I was just so completely alone, and I thought it would be okay, but." She inhaled. "I was going to die out there." She stopped talking, blinking, taking herself by surprise. Just to shut herself up, she grabbed a chip and dipped it in some salsa and put it in her mouth. Nora groaned loudly, tilting her head back. "Sorry, oh my God, but yum. Holy shit."
