Re: TWD: graham + clem
She wasn't feeling sweet any. Truth was, she was angry as hornets. At herself, at this damn place, at wishing in general. All of it had her mad as bees, and that was better than her weeping any damn day. Meant she wasn't inclined to feel real hurt by anything between them in the past neither. Funny thing about this door, the way it made things not matter a whole lot. Took away all the stuff beyond surviving, and she knew that wasn't good any, even if it felt better some. It was the whole damn reason they'd had such a hard time remembering what living was, and she didn't want that all over.
"You always were a cocky thing, you fool man," she replied to his assurances that he wasn't come here to die. She exhaled hard, and she didn't move any as he looked out that window at the herd. She knew he was thinking on ways out, and truth was she believed he'd manage it. Somehow, the damn man was more competent here than out there, and wasn't that just the strangest thing? "Shane's had it harder this time, think on account of you not being here." It wasn't a guilting thing; her tone didn't sound blaming. She sounded surprised some, maybe. She knew him and Shane were real dependent on one another, but maybe she'd underestimated just how much.
She scoffed real obvious at the mention of Penny. Not a whole love lost between her and that woman when it came to the baby, but at least it meant the child would be real safe. "Penny took her off me for her own good. She'll keep her safe," she said, and she motioned to her journal, set aside mid-conversation with Jake. "Jack told him I was stuck here. Messaged me for the first time a month, that boy." She shook her head. Wasn't sure where a thing was going with Jake, but maybe growing up was something that needed to happen sometime soon. Her feelings were sore there, and it was plenty obvious in her tone and expression.
She didn't expect Graham to mention Lore all on his own, and she looked over at where he was sitting. She didn't bother trying not to look surprised; Clem never bothered with things like that. "You didn't wish her at Jake or me. That must have been someone else. I wished myself here, so wasn't me. Might be Jake wishing on his momma somehow," she suggested, though heck if she knew why the boy would do that. She quirked a brow at him. "What made you change your mind? Things go wrong?"
