About halfway to the town, Catherine finally broke the awkward silence between her and K "so... what's the ACTUAL reason you wanted to go to the town with me?" K's cheeks turned a bit red and his chest tightened "W-well, I-I kinda wanted to get to know you b-better?" Catherine raised a brow "I-I mean, no one really knows you th-that well, s-so I was hoping we could t-talk a bit!" He darted his eyes away and rubbed the back of his neck. Catherine muffled a laugh "hehe! You stutter a lot when you're nervous!" She smiled, not very widely, but it was a smile nonetheless. K laughed nervously "yeah... I uh, I guess I do.".
Catherine blushed a bit herself, getting too close to anyone in an apocalyptic situation had its pros and cons. If something bad happened, you could grow weak and not do what you should to someone who's been bit, but if you're in trouble, they could save you. Catherine didn't need much saving too often though. As she thought deeper on this, she blurted out "I remember when my Mom would teach me how to bake and cook, she would teach me about guns and tell me stories of my Nana..." K noticed her slow fade from happy to sadness.
K was never too good at comforting but they reached the town soon after "hey... wait here!" He said as he darted off, leaving Catherine confused "Hey! What the Hell, dude?!" She sighed angrily and leaned against a tree. She looked at the town, in view were three buildings. They all held some deep memories for Catherine. The pawn shop was where her and her mother would sell random antiques they found at the thrift store on the other side of town, where her mother worked. Her mother would sometimes take her to the book store next door to buy her new manga and the last store was the gun shop. While her parents were at work, she would sneak out of the apartment building and go there to look at the cross bows.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw K running back with some kind of picture frame in his hand. "What was that for!?" She growled. K handed her the picture frame and her eyes began to water. She hadn't cried since she shot her parents but, she couldn't hold back her tears this time. The picture was of her and her mother in front of their bakery they had opened just a year before the apocalypse. The building behind them said 'Grand Opening!'.
"I saw it behind the counter of the bakery and thought you might want it..." he smiled awkwardly. Catherine let her hair hang in front of her face to try and block the tears, but she couldn't help it. She wrapped her arms around K without warning "thank you, thank you so much! But, how did you know this was there?" K was too distracted by her hug to answer. For a merciless killer, she was pretty warm. "K?" He shook his head out of his daydream "I-I was out here with T and I f-found the picture, b-but there were a ton of walkers heading our way. I couldn't get to the picture in time." Catherine released K and hid her blushing, crying face with her hair.
"Let's go search through the pharmacy, for some... things..." K followed Catherine's lead and when they entered, K tossed her a backpack and went searching for some other medicine. Catherine shyly went to the 'feminine care' section and quickly shoved a bunch of packages of pads into the backpack. "I hate being female sometimes..." she mumbled to herself. As she browsed the painkillers, she dumped about ten bottles each of Ibuprofen and Advil into her backpack. She was prone to agonizing headaches.
