After you, Clem and the other's cleared out the walkers, you all went back inside the school. AJ pulls you and Clem to the side.
AJ: They're pretty good. With monsters.
You see Marlon walk up behind AJ.
Y/N: Don't! He'll--
Too late, Marlon puts a hand on his shoulder and AJ sends an elbow to his groin.
Y/N: ...elbow you in the dick...
Clementine: AJ!
AJ runs off towards the main gate.
Clementine: I'm so sorry. He has a thing about that.
Marlon: Yeah... A painful thing.
Y/N: He's done it to me plenty of times.
Marlon: Well, he can't go around punching people in the... you know... and expect 'em to eat at the same table.
Clementine: We'll talk to him.
You both walked over to him.
Clementine: Hey.
AJ: Hey.
He pointed over at a bird.
AJ: What's that bird doing?
Y/N: It's a scavenger. They eat what's already dead.
AJ: Scavagers?
Clementine giggles.
Clementine: No, Sca-VEN-gers.
AJ: Oh, well, sca-VEN-gers are gross.
Y/N: AJ, we should talk about what just happened.
AJ: It was accident!
Clementine: We know.
AJ: I didn't mean to hit him, I didn't know it was Marvin.
Y/N: Marlon.
AJ: Right.
Y/N: Listen, we know that you didn't mean to, but Marlon doesn't. Ruby, too. You need to apologize to them.
AJ: I don't know if they like me...
Clementine: They just don't know you, AJ. And once they do, I bet they'll like you just as much as me and Y/N do.
AJ: I don't know. They're scary.
Clementine kneels in front of him.
Clementine: AJ, listen. We haven't eaten for days. The car is gone. All that's outside these walls are walkers. Do you want to go back out there?
AJ: No!
Y/N: So, we should apologize to Marlon.
AJ: Right now?
Y/N: Well, we can meet the others. Work up to it.
Clementine gets up and you all walk over to Ruby.
AJ: There's that girl I bit.
Y/N: Yeah, you wanna talk to her?
AJ: You mean say I'm sorry?
Clementine: Yes.
AJ: But she's scary. And always seems so mad.
Y/N: You can do it, buddy. I'm sure she won't seem like that once yo do apologize.
Clementine: Just tell her why you did it.
AJ: Because of my... thing?
Clementine: Yep. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Just be real with her.
