The sound of the walker made him pause but Daryl took care of it before he had a chance. They were always pretty efficient together and it made them a strong team. The entire group were strong in their own ways, abilities honed from all the months working together.

With everything adjusted, he took another shot and this time hit the target he intended to - right in the dead center of the tree bark.

He knew Daryl would move any minute, though, much to his disappointment. "We always do things better together, don't we?" he continued. He usually found it difficult to engage Daryl in anything remotely touchy feely but sometimes it worked. "Wanna try again?"
