[ The face of one redhead that you might have seen before (but not for a few days). One that looks just a little freaked out (though is that any different to her regular face here?) ]

I don't know what's worse. Coming back here or what I came from.

[ It's not really the kind of thought you want to hear, or echo, but it's what she's wondering. It's what's on her mind, anyway.

It's late. She's been back for a few hours, and after getting back to her house and room she's tried to see (at least externally) what's changed. It doesn't look like a lot but: ]

I don't suppose that anything's changed around here? A mall opening, or a permanent door out? Or even less monsters.

[ Because please, there's enough back home without everything in the woods ]

You're still here, right?

[ The Star Trek reference definitely goes over Lydia's head, but she manages to figure out the meaning. Or so she hopes ]

You mean check up on me and make sure I'm not walking about anywhere? [ And killing, obviously ]

[intraining]

You say checking up like I'm some kind of creepy doctor.

[ really lydia, come on now. ]

I meant more like- keep an eye out? If I notice you zombie-ing around I'll do...something. Mostly make sure you don't end up in the forest or out in the ocean, but yeah.

[intelligently]

I think that could work. [ It sounds good as an idea, definitely. If Charlie's there when she 'zombies', definitely ]

[intraining]

Don't sound so sure of yourself.

[ charlie's smiling a little, though, which means she obviously understands how lydia might be feeling and is trying to make light of the situation because of it. ]

But hey- I don't plan on heading anywhere anytime soon, so I'll be around to watch out for your temporary undead situation. It'll work out.
