Synopsis: Carol fought for the rights of the kids this is between season 3 and 4. Not really a Caryl moment, but clearly Daryl meant something to Beth.
That was it. Nothing more to talk about and nothing was gained. The meeting was dismissed and they adjourned outside the library.
Carol held back her anger as she was denied once again to allow the kids proper use of the knives and defensive skills. She pushes past Michonne who she thought was on her side, but as the vote was made, Michonne chose Rick over her.
It wasn't right. But the decision was final and she exits the room not looking back only it would anger her more.
She exits the area, cuts through the cell block and opens the door to finding Beth with a rather cranky toddler fussing about in the young girl arms.
"Sorry, Beth, I did, I fought for you." As she saw the young blond girl bouncing the youngest Grimes member on her hip.
Absent-mindedly she pulls the child from Beth's arms, and the toddler seemed to end her fussing once she was nestled into her arms like it was the most natural thing in the world.
"Not fair, I am eighteen, not a child." The young girl said in a huff tone.
Carol chuckles. "Not according to your father."
"It's still not fair and you know it. You voted Tyreese and Sash in."
"They earned those spots." She comments pointedly.
"Daryl said he would vote yes."
Carol remained silent.
"He didn't?"
"You're just not ready." Carol pivots to leave the area with the sleepy baby heading back into C Block.
"I do my share, I raise Judith, cook, clean."
Without looking back Carol answers. "We all have our jobs to do."
Fin.
