Nikki suddenly reappeared out of nowhere with a two new people. [color=7bcdc8]"Where's Ethan? I thought you went back for him?"[/color] Kat asked as they took out the remaining walkers. She wasn't being accusing in her question she just wanted to know. Nikki had taken off back into the horde to get Ethan and Jason and her she was back with two other people and neither of the men she went after in sight.

And the new guy mainly just flirted with Nikki. And she flirted back. Kat stamped down her irritation. This wasn't the time to be flirting and trading life stories, not when Ethan and Jason were still back there somewhere and several people had died. But it was also not the time to cause dissention so Kat bit her tongue and comforted Grace, who was still crying.
She took the brush and let Nikki hold Grace long enough to brush her own hair. Grace didn't have much but Kat gave a little brush to the patch of golden hair she did have. Grace sucked her thumb and Kat allowed it because it kept her from screaming.

When Nikki headed off yet again, after kissing a man she had apparently just met, Kat mumbled under her breath. [color=7bcdc8]"We should be looking for Ethan and Jason."[/color]
Since she couldn't trust Grace to not scream her head off if she tried to go off and find them herself, Kat resigned herself to getting out of the truck and sitting in the grass. Grace was already standing, with help, and was trying to take a step. But she didn't have control or balance yet so she ended up on her bottom. But she just tried to get up again. Her baby girl was stubborn alright. Kat wondered which parent she had gotten that from.

The dog, which they still had to name, as sitting nearby watching. His ears were facing forward and his whole body was alert, listening for any signs of disturbance around them. Apparently he had accepted Grace as the pup of this new pack of his and as such she needed to be guarded carefully.
