What's up?" Mark asked, wondering why Lee stopped him.
"Before we bring our whole group over, I feel like we should search around to see if this place is as safe as they're telling us. Remember, Mark, these are strangers." Lee explained, leaning against a wooden fence.
"Right, that's true.. I mean, the fence is obviously a bit of a safety hazard around the kids, plus I noticed a broken swing over there. If you think this place needs a good search, go ahead. I'll be waiting for you over by the gate." Mark replied, walking over to the gate to talk to Andy.
Lee decided to start his investigation with the fence itself. He noticed that it wasn't well guarded by anything on the inside, which means if someone tripped or Clementine/Duck touched it, they might get hurt, or worse.. He made a mental list starting with that of things to watch out for.
He took a look at the picket fence surrounding the area close to the barn and saw that it was pretty pointy. That was about it, but that's also where the generator was. He made note of that before trying to move on to the barn itself. Before he could open the fence however, Andy stopped him.
"Hey, Lee, what are you doing?"
"Just checking out the dairy. Is it okay if I check the barn?" Lee asked nicely.
"Sorry, but us dairy folk don't like others snooping around over there, you know how it is." Andy simply stated, rising up.
"Uh, what's inside there?" Lee asked.
"Just some in's and out's. Takes a lot to run a dairy. Don't worry about it." Lee shrugged and gave up, going back to searching around. He found lights that lit up the fence that could be potentially dangerous. What if someone or something saw the dairy and tried to attack it?
Lee decided that if he couldn't check the barn, he could at least check the house. He walked up the stairs and onto the porch, knocking on the door. Out came Brenda with a wide smirk. "Hiya, Lee! To what do I owe this pleasure?"
"You mind if I take a look inside?" Lee tried to get a look inside, but couldn't see much aside from some trophies and a boarded up wall.
"What for?" She asked.
"Just wanted to have a look around. You know how it is meeting new people." Lee covered up. He may have been a bit suspicious.
"I think you're insinuating too much, Lee. Everything is fine here, we got nothing to hide around this place, trust me." The woman reassured, even stepping aside to show him the nice dining room.
"You're right, maybe I'm just.. Paranoid. This whole walker apocalypse has gotten me so on edge." Lee explained, placing his face in his hands.
"Oh I know what you mean, sweetheart. We used to have some enemies of our own. Human or non human, everything is a struggle nowadays." With that, Lee left feeling a bit embarrassed. There's definitely stuff to look out for but this place seemed secure. He left to go check in on Mark, and found the man looking off in the distance.
"Hey, Mark." Lee greeted, tapping his back.
"Huh? Oh, hey Lee. Nice afternoon, ain't it?" He acknowledged, looking off to the trees.
"Ha, you could say that. Honestly, I think I'm going a bit stir crazy now that I'm hungry." Lee said with a wipe of his forehead, the sun glistening over him.
"Sorry about that, man. So, what did you find?"
"Not much. I saw that there's an easy way for the kids to get hurt on the fence, and Andy wouldn't let me in the barn but you know how strangers can be." Lee informed.
"Right. I sure as hell wouldn't let them anywhere near my room back at the motor inn." Mark joked.
"Other than that, the house seems fine and I can't think of anything nefarious that could harm any of us. I think we're okay."
"Good, are you ready to go and check the perimeter of the fence?" Mark asked. Lee had to think of this. Was he really ready to do more hard work on an empty stomach and when he felt weak? Did he really think it was a good idea to have Mark do it either?
