[ The comforting gesture relaxed him slightly but not as much as he probably should have. He felt too wound up and anxious at the moment to relax for long and he knew he needed to get back to doing things. But for now, he wanted to keep an eye on Michonne and make sure she healed up properly. Almost losing her terrified him right to his core and he needed to keep her in his sights. ]

Maggie and Hilltop arrived with Carol and the Kingdom at the right moment. That tiger of theirs took out a few guys. [ He paused for a couple of seconds, wondering if he should tell her about Sasha yet. The horror of what happened to her still hadn't become real to him and he knew later he would mourn over it. But for now, he needed to remain strong. ]

Before that, things weren't lookin' good. Negan meant to use Sasha against us but she - she was turned and that shock gave us the in we needed to turn things round. Got a jump on 'em. Took out Saviors and Scavengers. Don't know what they're gonna do now but they ain't with us.

[ His eyes jerked down, the weight of things slamming back over him. He couldn't save Sasha either and it hurt. It hurt so badly to lose someone else they cared so much about. ] She saved us, Michonne. Without her - don't think any of us would be here right now. Not sure how it happened but - wish it coulda turned out different.

Eugene is still with him. He didn't - [ He shook his head again, still looking down. ] We still don't have the numbers.
