rochelle huffs a breath out through her nose , a bitter little laugh catching in her throat as she leans slightly into claire’s touch—not enough to seem needy , just enough to acknowledge it . fingers twitch against the grip of her submachine gun , the safety already off . she’s trying not to grind her teeth .
" little bit ain’t enough time to fix how fucked this all is , " rochelle mutters , eyes flicking toward the barred window as thunder grumbles low in the distance . " but i'll take it . "
she pulls away gently , running both hands down her jeans to wipe the clammy sweat off her palms . posture’s tight—shoulders squared , jaw clenched—but her voice stays low , steady .
" i thought savannah was bad , but this ? feels like déjà vu with more teeth . "
━ continued from here for @levelhcaded .
Tumblr media
OUT OF EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW , claire is begging the weather gods to not let it rain. but there is a loose strand of hair falling in and out of her eyes simply because the wind is vicious -- A STORM IS BREWING . nothing like a horrendous downpour to really tie together the fact they are now surviving another outbreak. AGAIN .
Tumblr media
claire's hand reaches up to cradle rochelle's jawline , mostly just to take a look to see if everything is good -- she just pauses. CLAIRE'S HEAD TURNS TO SWIVEL TOWARDS THE DOOR . then slowly turns back to the one window in the room. they're still relatively secure for now. that window has bars , that door is heavy metal. IT'S SORT OF A SAFE ROOM . until they leave.
" yeah , it's a lot. we have a little bit to find composure. "

"I NEED TO STOP AND REST" PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue for taking a break, adjust as necessary
give me a minute to catch my breath.
you go on without me.
i'll just be a minute.
we should camp here.
i don't think i can take another step.
you're falling asleep standing up.
i think we should stop for a while.
we can't fight them if we're exhausted.
it's time for a break.
we'll pick this up tomorrow.
you need to rest. that's an order.
you're going to fall over.
i don't think i can take much more of this.
sit down before you hurt yourself.
you're going to tear those stitches right open if you don't stop.
i need you to stop and listen to me.
you can't save anyone if you're exhausted.
you need your rest.
i'm not asking you to sleep, i'm telling you.
pushing it won't do you any good.
we'll take turns keeping watch.
tell them we'll make camp here.
i'm stopping to rest. you can keep going.
sit down before you hurt yourself.
you'll pull a muscle if you don't stop.
listen to me. you have to take a break.
i'm out of breath.
just give me five minutes to sit down.
i'll be fine with some rest.
let me sleep for a while and then we can go on.
i won't do any good if i'm exhausted.
you won't save anyone if you're like this.
slow down.
you're just making it worse by not stopping.
you'll work yourself half to death.
i'm not letting you do this.
when are you going to think of yourself?
break time's over.
you'll just make your injury worse.
i'll keep watch while you sleep.
you need your sleep just as much as i do.
we have to be at our best if we want to save them.
at least take a five minute break.
give yourself some time to collect yourself.
i insist you take a break.
i can't go on.
i'll pass out if i keep at it.
never thought i'd be the one saying this, but i need to stop.
sleep would be great.
i'll just close my eyes for a few minutes.
wake me when it's over.
tell me when we're getting ready to leave.
this looks like the perfect place to take a nap.

Caring & Reassuring Sentences, Vol. 7
(Sentences from various sources for muses that care for each other. Adjust phrasing where needed)
"How can I help you if you won't let me?"
"There was plenty wrong with your father, but there's nothing wrong with you."
"I know you wanted to fix this, but some things can't be fixed."
"There are things for all of us that not even all the time in the world would be able to erase."
"Everything's going to be okay. I'm not going anywhere."
"There's no such thing as getting used to what you experienced."
"I don't know you that well, but you seem like a really good person."
"Look, I'm here to help you. It's going to be a lot harder to do with a combative attitude."
"Just go outside and enjoy yourself, and forget about all this nonsense. I want you to leave it all to me."
"Trust me, I know what it's like to lose someone. To feel like life is playing a cosmic trick on you."
"You are stronger than the world. You are stronger than anything that can threaten you."
"I've done terrible things too."
"Bullies are insecure - that's why they bully. Always remember that."
"Are you really alright, or 'not ready to talk about it' alright?"

"It's your life. If there's something about it you don't like, you can change it."
"You have tried for so long to be who everyone wants you to be - who you thought you ought to be. Why not be who you are instead?"
"Look, if there's anything you need to get off your chest, I'm not much help, but I also don't judge."
"It's okay to be confused. We spend most of our lives confused. It's rare to really figure anything out."
"Everyone has something to hide, but I won't say anything you don't want me to."
"It's human to make mistakes, and part of you is human."
"There are things you can't control. There are battles you lose."
"When you're with me, you don't have to lie about anything."
"There are no mistakes, just choices."
"Don't feel like talking today?"

𝜗𝜚 ⠀𝗕𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗢𝗙 𝗠𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗨𝗠𝗕   ﹔   enemies to lovers sentence starters   .  please   like   or reblog   if   you   plan   on   using   .   don’t   claim   as   your   own   .   
I  wasn't  expecting  you  to  be  you.
did  we  just  have  our  first  fight?
aren't you tired of all of this?
do  you  think  you're  the  only  one  capable  of  getting  hurt?
please,  nothing  frightens  you.
aren't  you  tired  of  all  of  this?
most  of  all,  I  hate  you  because  I  think  of  you.  often.  It's  disgusting,  and  I  can't  stop.
you can die slowly cut into a thousand pieces.
i  could  easily  forgive  his  pride,  if  he  had  not  mortified  mine.
have  I  told  you  how  hideous  you  look  tonight?
if  you  hurt  me,  I  wouldn't  cry.  I  would  hurt  you  back.
i  am  going  to  keep  on  defying  you.
i  hate  you  so  much  that  sometimes  I  can't  think  of  anything  else.
my  sweet  nemesis,  how  glad  I  am  that  you  returned.
you  really  are  terrible,  you  know  that?  I  don't  even  understand  why  the  things  you  say  make  me  smile.
these  violent  delights  have  violent  ends.
kiss  me  or  kill  me,  you  can't  do  both.
if i cannot have your love, i will have your fury.
you  can't  do  it.  you  can't  kill  me.
you  know  what  the  worst  part  was?  pretending  I  loved  you.
you  are  cruel  even  in  love.  i  ought  to  hate  you.
I'd  spend  a  lifetime  at  the  tip  of  your  blade,  and  it  would  be  worth  it.
so  that's  why  you  so  readily  agreed.  know  your  enemy,  right?
the  most  worthwhile  and  difficult  lesson  is  to  love  your  enemy.  they're  often  a  reflection  of  you.
i'll  take  anything  over  days  of  silence.
you  may  not  think  I  can  feel,  but  that  doesn't  mean  I  can't  see  feelings  in  others.
you’ve  changed  me  for  the  better,  and  even  if  you  left  me,  I  would  still  have  that.
how  swiftly  you  dismiss  our  love.
i  am  not  the  love  you  knew  before.
would  you  fall  in  love  with  me  again  if  you  knew  all  I've  done?
hurt  more  lives  than  I  can  count  on  my  hands  but  all  of  that  was  to  bring  me  back  to  you.
I  couldn't  let  you  sacrifice  yourself  for  me.
I  wouldn't  want  to  marry  anybody  who  was  wicked,  but  I  think  I'd  like  it  if  he  could  be  wicked  and  wouldn't.
as  sick  as  it  sounds,  i  loved  you  first.
do  you  think  that  I  want  to  be  in  this  position?  contending  with  these  thoughts  of  wanting  to  be  nowhere  except  with  you.
even  when  I  didn't like you,  I  lusted  for  you.  It's  the  most  maddening,  beguiling,  damnable  thing,  but  there  it  is.
you  are  the  bane  of  my  existence,  and  the  object  of  all  my  desires.
I  have  never  met  anyone  like  you.  It  is  maddening,  how  much  you  consume  my  very  being.
all the horrors were for love.
what  are  you  going  to  do  to  me?

rochelle exhales sharply through her nose , closing her eyes for a second as she gathers what little patience she has left . she loves ellis—truly , she does—but adding another hyperactive boy into the mix ? it’s like putting gasoline on an already raging fire .
she pinches the bridge of her nose before cutting keith off . '' keith , '' she says , voice firm but not unkind , '' i am real happy that you two got your reunion going on , but i swear , if you don’t keep your voice down , we're gonna have more than just zombies crashing this party . ''
-- @nostalgicmemcries liked for a starter .

'' oh my gosh . . . '' rochelle sighs , pressing a hand to her forehead in exasperation . ever since keith had reunited with ellis and joined their group , it felt like her headaches had doubled in intensity . dealing with ellis's antics was one thing , but adding keith into the mix ? it was almost too much to handle .
taking a deep breath , she steadies herself before speaking , '' keith , can you please calm down ? '' she asks , tone patient but firm , hoping—perhaps in vain—that he would actually listen this time .

HURT / COMFORT : STARTERS
a collection of quotes, phrases, and sayings for when your muse needs a little TLC. change & alter as needed.
THE HURT:
“Nah, it’s not that bad. I’ve had worse.”
“I don’t think I can walk that far… or at all.”
“I’m fine. I don’t need your help.”
“Will you stay with me? Just until I fall asleep?”
“I’m sorry, I’m just—I’m just really tired.”
“I don’t need a break. I’m okay.”
“It was my fault. It was all my fault.”
“I think I need help.”
“So, I don’t think I’m dying, or anything, and it’s probably not that serious, but… I’m kinda bleeding. A lot.”
“Is the room spinning right now, or is that just me?”
“No, I’m okay, I just… I hit my head. Really hard. I’ll be okay, just give me a second.”
“I’m not sick! I’m fine!”
“No, I don’t think any of my bones are broken, or anything like that. Just bad bruises.”
“Yeah, but you should see the other guy.”
“I’m fine. This just happens sometimes. It’s normal for me.”
“I’ve got a headache.”
“Seriously, though, I’m fine! Stop making such a big deal out of it!”
“I’ve been taking care of myself for a long time. I don’t need your help, and I definitely don’t need your pity. Fuck off.”
“Please tell me I don’t look as bad as I feel.”
“I think I’m running a fever.”
“So, what’s the prognosis, Doc? Am I gonna live?”
“Stop fussing over me! I’m not a baby!”
“Can I stay with you tonight? I just… really don’t want to be alone right now.”
“No, I-I’m okay. It was just a nightmare. Go back to sleep.”
“I… can’t actually remember the last time I had something to eat.”
“You shouldn’t be here. You’ll get sick, too.”
THE COMFORT:
“Honey, have you been crying? What is it? What’s wrong?”
“I think you’d better take a break.”
“It’s not your fault, sweetheart. You did everything you could.”
“You don’t have to go through this alone. I’m right here for you if you’ll just let me in.”
“There’s nothing wrong with you. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Don’t ever let yourself believe that there is.”
“You really don’t realize just how many people love you, do you?”
“If you’re not going to take care of yourself, at least let me do it for you!”
“I’m sorry. I know it hurts.”
“You’re not alone, baby. You never have been.”
“Let’s get you some food.”
“You’re dead on your feet, poor thing. Come on, you need some sleep.”
“Stay where you are. I’m coming to get you.”
“Tell me where it hurts.”
“How many times have I told you to be more careful?!”
“It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m right here, okay? I’m not gonna leave you. I’m never gonna leave you.”
“Oh, honey, you’re safe now. I promise. I’m not going to let anything happen to you.”
“Go ahead and take a shower. I’ll fix you something to eat.”
“What happened to you, baby?”
“I’ll kill that bastard. I’ll kill him for what he did to you.”
“You look like shit, man.”
“Whoa, whoa, take it easy! You got pretty banged up back there, and you don’t want to go making yourself worse.”
“I’m not trying to baby you. It’s called taking care of my friends.”
“Sweetheart, you’re burning up! Why didn’t you say anything? Why didn’t you tell anyone you were sick?”

'' ooh , let's go ! '' rochelle exclaims , eyes lighting up as she gazes out the car window . she and nick are headed out for a much-needed shopping trip , with her comfortably settled in the passenger seat while he drives . after everything they've been through , it feels almost surreal to finally relax in new orleans without the constant threat of zombies looming over them .
as she glances over nick , a playful smirk crosses her face . '' you know , you could use a new suit too , '' she teases , chuckling softly .
