NORA WALKED OVER TO HARLEY, WHO WAS SITTING ON ONE OF THE BENCHES, READING A BOOK,

She let out a short whistle to get her attention and the redhead looked up, "I'm going on a run."

Harley set down her book, "Can I go?"

Nora shook her head before sitting down next to her, "Not enough room in the van. I'll try and find some pretzels for you."

The redhead sighed, "I want to go on a run. All they've got me doing around here is washing clothes."

"I'll mention your name on the next one." Nora nudged her, "And washing clothes is better than being dead."

"You should see some of these guys' underwear." Harley smiled.

Nora let out a laugh before patting her shoulder and getting up and walking away. Harley let out another whistle and the brunette turned to look at her,

"Stay safe." Harley signed.

Nora nodded before leaving to grab her pack. She met up with Sasha, Daryl, and Zach who were all standing by a truck,

"Ready?" Sasha asked her and she nodded,

"Let's do this."

Nora sat in the back next to Zach as she read over the list. Winter was coming up, and they needed supplies. Warm clothes, canned food, medicine, even fresh meat. They built a smoke house to dry out the meat to make jerky for the winter.

"So, Nora, you and Harley have been here for a while now. You guys get settled in okay?" Sasha asked,

"I've settled in. Harley, not so much." Nora sighed and glanced out of the window, staring into the trees, "She's always felt like an outsider with each group we've joined."

"I mean, I get it. She doesn't understand us, we don't understand her. We speak different languages." Zach commented,

Nora raised an eyebrow, "Is that what you think?"

"What do you mean?"

"Harley can lip read. If she can see your face, she can tell what you're saying." Nora smirked as his face turned white,

"Wait, really?"

"Why?"

"Cause I was talking to Beth about some... private stuff... and she was there holding Judith. Do you think she knew what I was talking about?" Zach asked,

"Yes." Nora smiled,

"Shit."

Sasha let out a laugh and Daryl smirked from the driver's seat. Nora sighed, "She does this for a while at every camp we go to. Don't worry, she'll let people know that she can actually understand them without a piece of paper soon."
