she knows that worry. the struggle you face when your loved one is hurt or in distress. at the museum, when ezekiel had been hanging over that group of walkers… she shudders to remember it. her heart had dropped, she’d felt ill with worry as they scrambled to pull him up, to keep the rope from breaking. it had been such a close call, but he’d made it.
the only difference was he’d made it with all his limbs in tact.
❛ i’m sure he’s tired of hearing it from me too. it’s who he is, who he’s always been. he saves people. he’s saved me countless times, and just last month he saved ezekiel from being bit. don’t know what any of us would do without him. ❜
there isn’t much else she can offer in the way of comfort. all they can do is wait it out, wait for the pain to finally subside. after that, they have a journey ahead of them. functioning with a missing arm couldn’t be incredibly easy. it’d take time getting used to. ❛ but i’ll pass on the good word to him. can’t promise he won’t just scoff and run off, though. ❜
A SMILE && A LAUGH ; what would any of them do without daryl ? cease to exist , probably . eric couldn’t comment on daryl’s role in their group BEFORE arriving in alexandria , but from the night of that first dinner it was clear to see that he was someone special , && must have been to all who had the pleasure to know him . a little rough around the edges , sure , but that was part of his charm . he was a little TOO real , a little too HIMSELF ; the very thing that made him off-putting at first was what made you trust him with every cell in your body later on . DARYL DIXON WAS A GODDAMN TREASURE .
❝ well , he can s c o f f all he wants as long as he hears you first , ❞ eric replied , knowing full well that if carol was talking , just about anyone would feel inclined to listen . ❝ how are things with you and ezekiel , by the way ? i know this is the sad husband corner , but talking about other stuff is aloud , too . in fact , it’s encouraged . ❞
