Quietly sniffling Autumn angrily brushed at the tears streaking his face. He was embarrassed to have started crying in front of the group. It gave the appearance that he was weak and couldn't help the group to survive. If he wanted to survive in a world like this he was going to have to toughen up. No more tears.

 "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to breakdown in front of you." He was talking to both Ashley and Katelyn. "It's not your fault Ashley." He half smiled at her sadly thinking of his lost sister, "You just... reminded me of someone. Someone who was close to me before..." He cut himself off determined to not start crying again.

He counted five beds in total. Five beds and yet only six people. Gesturing with his hand Autumn said, "Make sure that the girls have beds. I'll take the floor." The words came out tiredly, it had been a long day already. Rubbing the bridge of his nose he thought about the people that had died, and how their lives had changed once again. Whether it was for the better, he wasn't so sure yet.

Pushing himself off of the floor in front of Ashley and Katelyn he gave them both a thankful look. Despite everything that the world was going through there was still some decent people out there. "I'll stay with the girls, to protect them. You guys shouldn't be gone to long, so there isn't to much of a need to worry." Autumn knew that Luke was having issues trusting him and he hoped that if he could have the chance to prove himself he could make it up to Luke.
