@josephb Haha yep!

The Walking Dead: Safe Haven -CLOSED

Slightly worried about the man outside all on his own in a bad state of mind, Rowena was thinking of sending Themistocles in after him, but realized she'd rather not be separated from her dog and so she just kept him close, rubbing her fingers along the edged of his pointed ears. She looked in the direction of the man speaking, realizing the it was the man that had reached for her dog. If he agreed with Ethan's views that'd be rather strange of him then, to reach for a dog that could've been violent or untrustworthy. It just made her smile a sad smile internally as she listened. Ah, so there had been a reason as to why everyone was so broody and on edge. Walkers and death was nothing new to her anymore, nothing to grieve over because she didn't have anything to lose. But these people might've been in a different situation and they might've not only gained traumatic experiences but lost people they loved. The woman hadn't had any experience with that sort of thing since she'd discovered her mother's corpse but she most definitely remembered her grief and anger, along with the weeks that followed. The weeks of coping that finally subsided as she finalized her survival plan and moved into the sewers. So she understood to some degree what they might have been going through and sighed, taking the baseball cap off for a minute and running her fingers through her hair. " I see. Well if that's the case, I do apologize. I was obviously oblivious," she said but not taking back her words. She still did mean what she'd said, though now she understood why the group were as they were. " I just want to help," she said, glancing around the room, her dog completely and utterly uninterested in the exchange of words.

Listening to the man talk, Rowena's jaw clenched again. He was just confirming her thoughts. On edge, not actually working anything out but just snapping at Rowena for no good reason. As if she wasn't aware of what was going on. He said it himself, he knew nothing about her. What did he know? She could've seen tens of thousands of deaths more than he had, unimaginable horrors. Yet all he did was make assumptions whereas she just read the room as she saw it and asked for direction. When the man had left the house, slamming the door, she shook her head and turned back to the house with a light tone and a small smile. "Seeing as he isn't interested in hearing my reply, I'll tell you all instead. Of course, it's up to you if you want to acknowledge it or not. My name is Rowena Leigh, I've been on my own since the outbreak. My only blood relative was bitten and then killed by her partner. This is my dog, Themistocles and he's friendly, but do please let him familiarize himself with your scent first before you touch him. I understand that you are cautious but I have absolutely no reason to threaten you. Even if I tried, you would clearly overpower me. Honest to god, the only thing I wanted in return for any help was a shower. I'm running low on water. I don't need your supplies because I can scavenge on my own and I'm not a cruel person. Those still exist, even in this situation, believe it or not. I'm not asking to stay necessarily, but I was just offering my help. If you don't need my skills, an extra set of hands and eyes, that's fine. I'll move on and I'll look for survivors elsewhere," the woman concluded, pushing hair from her face and looking around the room. She licked her lips and shifted her weight, feeling a little strange, seeing as this was the most she'd spoken in the past year. "This is your home, from what I gather. It is understandable that you are protective of it and the people in it, especially when there's a little one. I was just thinking that if you were to be a little more at ease with each other, everything could function a little smoother." Rowena said softly, her eyes flickering to the room where the child had been taken to fondly. She's let them think it over, let them ask her question if they had any. She'd be more than happy to answer them, human conversation being something she obviously hadn't had any of in the past year or so.

@josephb Um she's not irritated at all... she's just looking for a leader...?

The atmosphere was stifling, Rowena feeling like she'd get her first headache since the outbreak. One of those headaches the pounded away at the back and sides of a person's skull until they just couldn't take it anymore and wanted to smash their head open with a sledgehammer. She felt like no one was actually interested in teamwork, no one was actually interested in getting things done. It got under her skin and seriously dampened her mood. So the woman straightened herself, Themistocles doing the same but remaining at her side. "I'm sorry," she said loudly, addressing the group. The mother and the man who seemed to know one another, a young woman with a katana, the man who'd approached Themistocles, the soldier and the man she'd spoken to first. "Is there a reason everyone seems to be overly cautious and on edge? I highly doubt anyone is planning on murdering anyone, so there's no reason to be..." She trailed off, adjusting the baseball cap with a sigh, feeling a little too awkward for the situation. "Either way, I was told that there would be a discussion regarding me helping this group out. I would love to know who I'm supposed to talk to about this and their name," she said patiently, looking around the room for the group's leader to say something, assuming there was a leader that is.
