From the panting that could be heard by Theos, it sounded like the form had been running for a long time already. The form quickly got to its feet and started running again. As it got closer, he'd see it was a girl, not appearing to be infected in any way. She was wearing a white and pink t-shirt, split in the middle, and white jeans cut off just below the knees. The reason she was running became clear when a large man stepped around the corner, carrying a what looked like a makeshift bo staff. "Oi! Ge' back 'ere, girl! You canno' run forever!" He was built like a brick, most likely a weight lifter before the infection began. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [centre][b][i]Post Four[/i][/b][/centre] The girl's head shot upright at the whistle, being closer she heard it better. But this also caused her to stumble over a chunk of wood to land on her hands and knees near the new person, before recoiling backwards and into the street a bit. The big man following her slowed down and took a defensive stance twenty yards away when he saw the bow. He was big, but it seemed not all his brain power was devoted to that. "This is none'yer concern, boy. Git goin' an' I won' bea' ye' up and take all 'yer supplies." The man kept a firm gaze on this new threat. Despite his words, he wasn't really in any position to carry them out. The girl glanced between her pursuer and the newcomer, her face contorted in fear and confusion. She didn't have anything to offer in terms of talking, it seemed. But something sparked an emotion in Theos. Was it her tattered and battered appearance? Her expression? Was it the way the man avoided telling him anything about why he was chasing the girl? Whatever it was he'd feel confused over being sympathetic for this young girl, a total stranger.
