"You were gone for a really long time." Sarah said once Clementine was finally able to get back inside. "Rebecca said dinner was ready." She added as she and Clem began to walk over to the tables that were set up. A crack of thunder rumbled in the background as everyone sat down to eat some more peaches and beans. This time, instead of sitting by themselves, Clem and Sarah decided to sit at the big table with everyone else. "Hi dad." Sarah greeted as she sat down by Carlos. "Did you have a nice nap?" She asked as she picked up a spoonful of beans.

"I did." He smiled down at his daughter.

"Clementine's gonna do my hair later!" Sarah exclaimed as she took a bite of food.

"Sounds like fun sweetie." Carlos chuckled lightly. He knew ever since Clementine came to their cabin in the woods, Sarah had been a happier person. He was thankful for the little girl if he wanted to be honest with himself. And deep down he knew that if anything ever happened to him, Clementine would always be there to look out for his little girl. Albeit they didn't start off on good terms, he knew she was a good person just trying to survive out here like the rest of them.

"Maybe I can find some more hair ties and do your hair like mine." Clementine suggested as she too began to eat her beans. "I think pigtails would suit you." She nods. "My friend Lee put my hair up like this, he told me it would keep me safe." Clementine added, letting out a little bit of her past.

"I packed some hair ties with us!" Sarah said with a smile. "Now we can both be safe."

"Cool!" Clementine smiled.

"Hey Walter, these beans taste different." Rebecca said as she took her first bite.

"Oh, yeah, Sarita found some salt so I thought I'd spruce up dinner a little bit." He replied with a weak smile. Clementine knew he was probably grieving so badly on the inside, after all, she had lost so many people, death didn't even seem like a real thing anymore. But maybe Walter didn't know how to deal with loss, so she was going to try and be as supportive as she could. "I hope they still taste okay." He added sheepishly.

"They taste great!" Kenny chimed in.

After dinner, it wasn't too late so everyone pretty much went back to doing their own things. Nick, Sarita, and Kenny went to bed early, Alvin and Rebecca were helping clean up after dinner, Luke was relaxing, Walter was reading one of his many books, and Clementine and Sarah were back in there space by the fireplace while Carlos watched over them as he read some old newspaper. "I'll try to be careful." Clementine said as she brushed through Sarah's hair gently. Surprisingly, her hair wasn't that tangled up. "Your hair is soft." She commented, and it was quiet between the two girls as Clem raked the brush through the teens hair.

"Hey Clem?" Sarah asked, breaking the silence.

"Yeah?"

"Who's Lee?" She asked, and Clementine froze up. Nobody had really asked about him directly like that, and she hadn't really told anyone her story except for Luke, but she was vague about the details. Why was it so hard to talk about Lee after all this time? Was it because she hadn't grieved over him properly? Or was it just because she loved him so much?

"Sarah..." Carlos interrupted. "I don't think Clem wants to talk about that."

"Oh..." Sarah said, a hint of disappointment in her voice. "I'm sorry Clem, I didn't know."

"No it's okay." Clementine replied. "Maybe I'll feel better if I do talk about it." She added as she continued to pull the brush through Sarah's silky hair. "Lee was this man who took care of me after my parents died... He found me in my tree house, and I was a little shy around him at first, but we grew to be a team. He did everything to make sure I was safe, and taught me how to survive, but he's gone now..." She trailed off.

"So he was like your dad?" Sarah asked.

Clementine nodded, "Kind of."

"That must be awful to lose so many people..." Sarah whispered. "I can't even imagine it." Clementine didn't say anything else with Carlos sitting there. Albeit he didn't know that Clementine did give Sarah information about the apocalypse, she didn't want to say anything too horrible that would scar her, or that would make Carlos angry. As far as he knew, Sarah was still oblivious to the end of the world and the walkers. And in a way she was, but only because she hadn't seen anything too horrific yet, but that time would come, and then she would see just how horrible the world was. Clementine wanted to prolong that moment for as long as possible, but she also wanted Sarah to know the basics so she could protect herself.

"Do you have the hair ties?" Clementine asked as she was just about finished with Sarah's new hair do.

"Right here!" Sarah said, and gave them to Clem. The younger girl then concentrated for a moment as she tied the bands around Sarah's new pigtails, until finally, they were put in place nicely. "How does it look?" Sarah asked as she touched the two pigtails hanging off the back of her head gently. Hers were a little bit longer than Clem's because her hair was longer, and her bangs hung down as well, but the two girls generally had the same hairstyle.

"I like it." Carlos nodded in approval.

"Me too." Clem added. "I think there's some mirrors in the bathroom." She said and ran off to get one. She came back a moment later with a small mirror in her hands. "It's kind of dirty, but you can still see out of it." She said as she gave it to Sarah. "Have a look."

"Oh Clem, I love it!" Sarah said as she studied herself in the mirror. "Thank you so much!" She said as she pulled the smaller girl in for a hug.

"I'm glad you like it so much." Clementine smiled as she hugged Sarah back.

"Alright girls." Carlos interrupted. "It's getting late, time for bed." He ordered and the two girls headed upstairs to their cot beds and went directly to sleep in each other's arms.
