— ZOE HAD HELPED HER MOM PREPARE the kitchen for later, before she quickly returned back to camp in order to change her clothing, into something much cooler. She was boiling after being in the kitchen for even the smallest amount of time. "Stuck on kitchen duty?" She heard Nate ask, from behind her. Zoe turned around to see Nate, very sweaty and looking as if he had just done a bunch of work. He had his crossbow slung across his back and was smirking down at the girl. He wished that Zoe could have gone with him on the search for Sophia, so he wouldn't get stuck with Daryl's self loathing; only, Rick didn't allow her. He knew that she was still healing, but he also knew that she could handle herself when the time came - he wished that her father could see that, too.
Zoe smiled mockingly at him, before standing up and facing him, "Aren't you supposed to be searching for Sophia with Daryl?" She asked him. She didn't want to admit it, but she was quite salty she didn't get to go with them on the search; getting stuck on kitchen duty has to be the most boring thing to do while everyone was out there risking their lives.
Nate shrugged, "I ditched his ass, thought I'd come back and see how you're doing." He admitted. It was true, Nate was beginning to get on Daryl's nerves with the amount that he spoke about Zoe, and had ultimately told him to go back to the farm and see the girl. Daryl was getting used to his little brothers rambling by now, but that didn't mean that it didn't annoy him still.
Zoe laughed, "He's gonna be pissed, you know that?" She asked him, knowing how Daryl was. Nate nodded in conformation, not caring one bit how Daryl was going to feel when he got back, truth be told, he was fed up - since Merl went missing, or dead, for all they knew, Daryl had been putting all of the heat on him, and he was tired. The only person he felt comfortable with, was Zoe, and he didn't even know why - he barely knew the girl, yet, he felt completely at home in her company.
"Yeah." Nate nodded, cringing slightly at how mad Daryl was going to be when he got back from his search for Sophia. When he noticed the gleam on Zoe's face, he couldn't help but smile down at her, "You seem a lot better now, since the accident." He told her. Nate had kept an eye on her since she had come out of surgery, and he had watched her heal and become happier - it was something that made his day, when he saw her accomplish something with her new stitches on her stomach.
Zoe couldn't hold back the smile on her face when he mentioned that she had been doing better. She had been trying hard to get back to how she used to be before she was shot, and it was hard, but she thought that if she kept doing it, she would finally get better. She had never tried so hard in her life to get back to normal, "I feel it." She said, smiling up at him.
"That's good." Nate told her, "If you ever want me to teach you to shoot, or defend yourself, you just let me know." He said. He knew that Rick didn't want her doing this things yet, but what he didn't know, didn't hurt him..
