Me and Clementine walked to the other side of the lodge and we saw Walter stirring a pot of something. He notices us and smiles.
Walter: Hey, Clementine and, Y/N, is it? Settling in well enough?
Clementine: Yeah, thanks.
Y/N: You got it right, and yeah, same here.
Walter: Excellent. Want to help me prepare a little dinner?
Y/N: Sure.
Walter: So how do you know Kenny? Him and Sarita have been a huge help. Matthew and I barely knew what to do our first week.
Clementine: We're old friends... I met him after 'it' happened, on a farm.
Y/N: And I met him, along with Clem here at a drug store.
Walter: When he was with Lee? Yeah, he only told us a little.
Me and Clementine both close our eyes at the mention of Lee.
Walter: Connecting with people is so important. I don't know what'd I do without Matthew.
He adds salt to the pot.
Walter: Gosh, y'all remind me of my students. I can't imagine what it's like growing up in this.
Y/N: Well, people underestimates us for starters.
Walter chuckles.
Walter: I expect you to use that to your advantage.
Clementine: Sometimes.
Walter: Smart kids.
He eats some of the food.
Walter: Mm, almost done. Would you two do me the honor of tasting the first course?
Me and Clem look into the pot.
Clementine: What is this?
Walter: Le Walter Surprise. An autumnal legume salad with a peach roux.
Y/N: Uh...
Walter: It's peaches and beans. It's all we got.
He picks up a can of peaches.
Walter: Huh. Striking resemblance.
He shows Clem the can which had the little girl with pigtails.
Walter: Anyway, I'll take it from here.
He picks up the pot and leaves.
Y/N (sarcastically): Huh, we really helped.
Clementine giggles.
Clementine: I know right?
I looked to my left and see tables with bowls on them.
Y/N: Huh, kinda reminds me of school.
Clementine: Thankfully we don't have to go anymore.
Y/N: Heh, you can say that again.
We walked over to Sarita and Sarah, who were putting decorations on a Christmas tree.
Sarita: Hey, you two. We could use some help. Here, Sarah, you take this and string them up over there.
Me and Clem both grabbed an ornament and hung it up.
Sarita: Y'all knew Kenny before. It must be incredible to see him again.
Y/N: It's weird to see him. But good weird, not bad.
Clementine: How'd you meet Kenny?
Sarita: I found him holed up in an old restaurant, if you can believe it.
