Jason visibly relaxed when the woman's hand went off the gun, and he looked through his stuff once more as he thought about what she had said. "...ah, I see. Nah, it's ok, I get ya. Some folks out there are crazy. I woulda' spoke up more, but I didn't wanna alert anything." he mumbled, before sitting down, recovering from their sprint and taking the time to look her over. Her hair, bright like fire, was messy and tangled from her run, and probably a few rests without a hair brush, and the length made him wonder if she was just lucky, tough, or both, for not being infected yet- wait, was she? "...You aren't infected, are ya? I mean, I don't think you are- you ran too good- but I gotta ask," he spoke up a little, after a while, to get some formalities out of the way. "You also missed a zombie when you ran up here. I got it, though, right before it was gonna call a horde.... Speakin' of horde, most the zombies in earshot are probably heading to the source of that scream, from before." He looked off, thinking, his brow furrowed. "...hey, maybe that means the mini-mall that was surrounded is gonna be cleared. That's not too far from here, I think." he looked back to the girl- then away because she was white as hell, even when slightly dirty, and he felt he might get distracted. "...Hey, ya wanna go with me? We're both low on supplies, and I'm pretty sure there's something of use in there. We can split the loot." He offered, getting up. He looked back to her, then down as he thought about how sudden he'd offered and how normal human interaction actually worked. After a moment of thought, an inhale and a brief shutting, clenching and reopening of his eyes, he attempted to restart. "Er, I mean, I figure there's gonna be a zombie or two in there, and I don't do well in closed spaces alone. so if you're gonna head that way, we could...like, watch out for each other?" He looked to her, with a slight shrug and a half smile intended to help him not look like an idiot.
