Author's Notes: So these will be prompts from my Tumblr! Never fear, I'm finally finishing up the last few chapters of 'Howl', they'll be up soon! These rarely relate to each other. A few will be Howl-verse, most are tv-verse though. They're not always the cleanest, as they've been written on the fly, but hopefully they entertain. Enjoy!

Prompt: "Hush"

She's gotten so much better at being silent.
Her footfall is almost as soundless in the woods as his, and she's proud of that fact. The wordless communication came easy as well, even back when they were thoroughly annoyed with each other. Now, companionable silence can be a whole dialogue.
It startles her to realize that it was nearly dusk and they hadn't actually spoken a word outloud to each other all day, and she notes this quietly. Daryl nods, tossing a blanket back over the one window in the shed they'd claimed a few days back.
"S'just weird to think, how I always had to fill the silence, way back," She says, voice still low, sorting through the canned goods they'd scavenged that day. Sitting across from her on the dusty floor, he chuckles. "Now?" He rests his head against the wall, an arm across his knees, and her eyes catch his, the curve of her mouth turning up just a little.
His fingers twitch, but he doesn't look away from her, though his eyes do drift, and she knows he hears her. Their silence is always full.
