Daryl made his way over to where Rick stood talking with Glenn and Hershel, he nodded his head at the three men and stood with his back against the wall.

"Daryl." Rick greeted him, "How're you?"

"Great," Daryl replied quickly, he nodded his head for extra assurance, "Beth mentioned somethin' about a run?"

"Yeah, I want you to go with Glenn and Tyreese into town to fetch a few things," Rick explained switching his weight onto his other foot, "We're runnin' low on supplies." He added.

"Tyreese?" Daryl repeated, shaking his head, "Man can't shoot for shit and he's arrogant, I'd rather just go with Glenn."

"We need to start trainin' other people up, just in case, you know..." Glenn began but Daryl interjected.

"Fine, we'll take Sasha or Karen?" Daryl suggested.

Rick shook his head, adamant that Tyreese was going, he knew that Daryl wasn't a stubborn man, he knew that he'd eventually agree to going on the run regardless of Tyreese being there. "I've asked Karen to go on watch with Maggie and Sasha's not feelin' too great."

"Fine." Daryl bit out. "When?"

"Tomorrow?"

Daryl nodded and chewed the inside of his mouth, "Anythin' else?"

"No, you can get back to your woman now." Glenn teased.

Daryl held up his middle finger before making his was over to Tyreese who was sat at the table on his own, Daryl waited till Tyreese looked up at him before he spoke, "Comin' on the run tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Tyreese replied bluntly.

Daryl nodded once and cast a quick look over his shoulder at Rick who was watching him carefully, "I heard what you said to Carol earlier."

"Just sayin' it how it is man."

"Well, I'm pretty sure no one asked for your opinion." Daryl told him, when Tyreese didn't respond, Daryl leant a little closer, "Just stay away from Carol."

"That a threat?" Tyreese asked looking at Daryl through the corner of his eye.

Daryl didn't say another word, he simply straightened up and made his way back over to Carol and Beth's cell, he nodded his head at Beth who sat on Carol's bunk cradling Judith and offered Carol, who was standing up against the wall, a small smile.

"Everythin' okay?" Carol asked.

"Gotta go on a run tomorrow," He explained flippantly, "With Glenn and Tyreese." He added.

"Is that negotiable?"

"No," Daryl replied, he shrugged and half-smiled at her, "It's not a problem." He stated, "I'll just leave him for the Walkers if he gets on my nerves."

Carol pushed back off the wall and reached out for his hand, he hesitated, looking from Carol to Beth then back again but took it anyway. "C'mon." She urged, pulling on his hand as she left her cell.

"Where are we goin'?" Daryl asked, he followed her regardless.

"Your cell." Carol stated simply, she smiled at the look of alarm on his face, "Don't worry, I'm not goin' to pounce." She muttered under her breath.

"That's a pity." He replied.

Carol searched his face for signs that he was joking and chuckled, "I just thought it'd be nice to spend the night together. Now everyone knows, it's not an issue." She smiled as they reached the entrance to his cell.

"I guess you're right." He breathed as she pulled him out of Tyreese's line of sight and into his cell.

"Mhm," She mumbled as his hands found her hips and he pulled her in close to him, "You're getting better at this."

"It's gettin' easier." He admitted as she placed her hands on his chest.

"Why was it so hard before?"

Daryl watched as she bit down on her bottom lip and shrugged, "I told you, I'm new at this type of thing..." He mumbled, he tilted his head and brought his face closer to hers, "But I'm tryin'."

"I know," Carol smiled as he brought his lips down to meet hers, once again she found herself shivering in his arms as his tongue searched her mouth, "Keep kissin' me like that and you'll literally have to fight me off."

Daryl half-smiled and half-blushed as he untangled himself from Carol's arms, he sat down on the bottom bunk and offered her a coy smile, "You comin' to bed then?"
