Do you just... Outlive everyone around you?

[ercnerd]

That's right.

[stillnot]

I really hate being the last person alive.

But it would be nice being strong enough to protect them. You know, for their whole life.

[ercnerd]

Immortality isn't strength. You can live forever without being able to protect anyone, just as you can protect someone for their whole life while remaining mortal.

[stillnot]

You can do more dangerous things if you're not afraid of dying, yourself.

[ercnerd]

I died at the school, too. Relying on immortality when there are ways around it is what idiots do.

[stillnot]

... Good point.

[ercnerd]

You're fine as you are. Don't bother looking for anything unnecessary.

[stillnot]

[ hah. ]

... Well, if you say so.

[ercnerd]

. . . So the walkers are gone. What's next?

[stillnot]

I don't know.

I wanted to try to make something with what we have. And a little help from the outside, too - no point in wasting it.

[ but that's, uh. past tense. hrm. ]

[ercnerd]

[Past tense.]

It's not a bad want. What changed?

[stillnot]

AJ got taken away from me again, here.

I can't keep doing this. Or - if I'm going to keep doing this, since apparently it can happen over and over, I need to know there's nothing else putting him in danger.

[ercnerd]

[He nods.]

These things get tiresome the first time around. Are you going to seek the others out?

[stillnot]

The others?

[ercnerd]

You know—other places like these.

[stillnot]

Absolutely not. I want as far away from this kind of thing as possible.

[ercnerd]

So you're going to plot for distance? I suppose that's as good a plan as any . . .
