Carol snaked her arms around Daryl's waist as he brought the motorcycle to life and they began down the first of many roads they'd be travelling on today. "It's good to have such power between your legs." Carol shouted over the roar of the bike, then, realising how it sounded, she began to back pedal, "I mean, it's good to be back on a fully functionin' bike...not, you know..."
"I know." Daryl Interjected, a light blush colouring his cheeks – he was immediately glad that she couldn't see his face.
"Though while we're on the subject..."
"Stop it." He bit out light-heartedly, he did want her to stop teasing but at the same time, he kind of enjoyed the light flirting, or whatever it was... "We should be back at the prison in about an hour." He called out, effectively changing the subject.
"Great, I'm starvin'."

Rick grinned as he saw the motorcycle break through the foliage, he had been so sure something or someone had got to them... Though he knew he could trust Daryl implicitly.
He climbed down from the watch tower and broke into a light sprint towards the gate, yanking it open as the motorcycle came to a stop. A few gaunt looking Walkers began to amble over but he knew they were not an immediate threat.
"Daryl." Rick grinned as Daryl started the bike into the prison forecourt. "Carol." He locked the gate back up just as the aforementioned Walkers reached the fence.
"Rick." Carol beamed as he closed in for a hug.
"What happened?" Rick asked, breaking the hug and looking towards Daryl for a debrief.
Daryl, who was still sat on his bike, shut off the engine and looked up at Rick, "We ran out of gas, then there were Walkers in town, dozens of them." He explained, "We had to hold up in a cellar till they'd passed."
"Well thank God you're alright." Rick replied, his right arm still slung over Carol's shoulders.
Daryl nodded once and cast a look to Carol, "You alright?" He asked.
She smiled slightly and nodded her head before placing a hand on her abdomen. "I could do with a little fuel myself."
"Beth's spent the day cookin', you won't be disappointed." Rick smiled. "You two go inside, I've gotta finish my watch."
Daryl nodded once and started the engine back up, Carol offered him a shy smile as they both made their way back over to the prison.
