It was later in the evening when Rick walked downstairs with a funny expression on his face while absently rubbing his upper arm, earning a shit eating smirk of amusement from Shane as he glanced over at him. "Sore?" He asked him in an bemused tone as his dark eyes studied Rick.
"That damn woman could use a better bedside manner. Was she that rough with you?" Rick asked curiously as he walked over to his long time friend as the man sniggered and slowly shook his head no.
"Nah brother, she wasn't that rough with me. I think our new friend Sin razzed her a bit about something and pissed her off."
"Hn. Lucky me. There for a second I was beginning to wonder if I was special of something." Rick said dryly earning another grin from his friend as Daryl walked over, still holding his bow. His muscles were tense as he looked out towards the tree line surrounding the far side of the property.
His eyes narrowed as he caught the faintest hint of movement beyond the tree line as he whistled at both Rick and Shane, and upon getting their attention, motioned with his head towards the trees.
The two turned their heads just so and squinted some against the late evening's dwindling light, and caught sight of something moving there as someone stepped out of the house and said, "Hn. Looks like Hina will finally be returning to the house soon."
The three turned their heads to glance at who had spoken and frowned a little bit as they tried to place a face with the name.
Hina. Hina... Hina was... Oh! He was the giant. Now they remembered who he was. He was the big guy, a little over twelve feet tall with the icy blue eyes and light blue hair. The same guy who's body was built like the goddamn wall of china.
All tall and practically fucking impenetrable.
"It looks like he's carrying something," Someone said as the large man stepped out from the cover of the trees with something- or better yet- someone cradled in the crook of one arm as he walked and carried his massive spear in his free hand.
They could make out dark hair, a small head turned towards the man's chest, and a small, slender and petite looking limb or two before someone muttered a dark oath and suddenly all hell broke loose around them.
The three were quickly and violently shoved, almost causing them to fall as several of the foreigners went tearing across the yard towards the giant yelling various things that Rick, Shane and Daryl could barely make out. Though Glen and Dale didn't seem to have much issue hearing them.
"Uh-oh." Dael muttered as he meandered over to them with a frown on his face as Rick looked towards him for a second and asked,
"Uh-oh? What do you mean uh-oh?" He demanded wondering if he should be worried that someone may have been bitten or something, because deep down despite the fact that Ali and several of her group had managed to survive being bitten- he still didn't know how that was possible and still worried that he would have to put someone that he cared about, down like a rabid animal.
In fact he'd had nightmares pretty much every night about such things ever since finding out how the world was upon waking up in the hospital in Atlanta.
"It looks like something happened to the kid, Ali. Though I don't think that she's been bitten again... Appears more as if she's just passed out or something." Dale said with a slight shrug of his shoulders as Rick and the others turned away from him just in time to see someone quickly take the girl from the giant as the young blond, Alex take a swing at the man and land a good blow on his jaw.
"Oooh." The three, plus Dale and Glen all said in unison as the big guy went down and the blond pounced on him.
"Damn." Rick said as he cringed a little bit in sympathy for the giant.
"What the hell is going on, man?" Shane wondered aloud as the rest of their group slowly migrated towards them to see what was up as Daryl said in a bemused tone,
"Who cares. This is interesting. I almost wish that I had a baggy of pork rids and some pop in my hands right about now."
Everyone was quiet for a moment as Sin and Ren and several others appeared from somewhere off to the left of the giant, Alex, and the one that was now holding onto the still, unconscious figure of the girl and began to pull Alex off of the giant as Sin barked orders here and there before turning on the blue haired man and snarling in his face loudly enough for even Rick and the rest of his group to hear from where they were standing on and around the porch, "What the fuck did you do to her?"
The giant merely wiped at his face with the back of his hand and eyed Alex as if he'd like nothing more than to rip the boy's head off and toss it into the woods and then send his torso out to find it.
They couldn't hear the man's response to Sin's question, but from the rigid way that he was standing. And the tenseness of his shoulders- whatever the man had said wasn't perceived as good. Still, unlike Alex, he merely walked over and took the girl from the other person standing there and then turned back towards the house and started walking before pausing just long enough to call out to the others that had also come out to stop the spectacle, and order them to follow him back.
Leaving the giant sitting there for a few moments before he slowly got up and without a single word, walked back into the woods.
