[Stubbornly, she shakes her head.] I'm okay. I can walk. [For--a little ways!! Slowly!!] I don't have to be carried.

[devoutish]

It's a short walk, innit?

[He feels around for his bags, slinging one over his shoulder. He keeps his other hand on Royce's arm.]

[bywolves]

Short walk. [ Royce agrees, making sure that Alfie stays close. ] Nobody minds if you need to be carried.

[ He's just assuming. He sets off - it isn't very far, Alfie's right. ] Travel isn't a great idea. Take the time to rest. We're slow.

[powersouls]

It's not like we have anywhere to be, anyway.

[Tifa's still holding on to Emily's hand! She follows along behind Royce and Alfie, keeping an eye on Emily as she goes.]

We could use a break, anyway, right?

[empireofrats]

[Emily, instead, keeps a suspicious eye on Alfie from below the triceratop knit hat. You know, being blind, he could just trip and fall on another stick again. Totally.

But she doesn't release Tifa's hand.] We have to be in before lockdown. [To Tifa.] And we have to be out of the cold or our fingers and toes will fall off.

[Guess which two she learned this from.]

[devoutish]

[SHE'S LEARNED WELL. Even without his eyesight, Alfie manages to give her an approving look.]

It's morning still. We have time.

[bywolves]

[ Royce is proud as well - not only does she have those two things down, but she also is making sure Alfie's not going to fall again. He knows that look because it's familiar. ]

I'm not going to let us get locked out, Emily. It's why we're staying close. [ Royce says. He tugs Alfie a bit to the side. ] Rubble on your left, Solomons.

I GOT THE TAGGING ORDER CONFUSED RIP ME

[powersouls]

We're not going far anyway, right? And our fingers and toes won't fall off.

[She shoots a look at Alfie like this, automatic, even though he can't see it. Stop freaking Emily out, Alfie!]

[empireofrats]

[Sorry, Tifa...! They are the ones who told her about frostbite and monsters!] You don't have to be scared, Miss Tifa. We know how to beat up any monsters that come after us, right? [Oh... right.]

Or, um--we can hide.

[devoutish]

Yes.

[Alfie reaches out in Emily's direction, trying to feel his way towards ruffling her hair.]

We hide.

[bywolves]

[ Royce isn't going to correct Tifa's look, but technically it was Royce who warned Emily about fingers and toes falling off. He looks vaguely amused, which he tries to hide. ]

We hide. [ Royce agrees. ] We're going to need to figure out how many supplies we need tonight. Restock.

[powersouls]

[That gets Tifa to smile, just a little.]

Where are we going next? Maybe we could go downtown. Fresh food sounds better than anything we've had, doesn't it, Emily?

[empireofrats]

Downtown? [She looks between the three of them in turn, expectant.] What kind of fresh food? Like fruit and things?

Do you think they have Tyvian apples?
