Blood is much thicker than water.

*Deadpan* In most lifeforms, yes.

[sam_k_roth]

Not much.

[theredneck]

What do you mean by that?

[sam_k_roth]

What do you mean by blood being much thicker than water? If you're talking about family, I think you're very, very wrong.

[theredneck]

That's exactly what I was talkin about. [ His family experience was shit, and he pretty much raised himself. There's still some loyalty to that dimwit big brother of his, and he had a few chances to put a bolt in Merle's thick skull. He never took them, even if the fucker deserved it. ] Guess our experiences with family are alot different.

[sam_k_roth]

Maybe they are. Maybe they aren't. Have a pretty screwed up family experience.

[theredneck]

[ And that's something he's not going to share with anyone. ] Like I said, you don't know a thing about me to make that call.

[sam_k_roth]

No, I don't. Can only speak of my own experience. My blood tried to kill me. Ever since my family has been people who chose me to be their family.

[theredneck]

Livin with a bunch of people that ain't blood, they're good people. And, sorry, that your own tried to kill you.

[sam_k_roth]

Nothing to be sorry for. Moved on, met people who really wanted to call me family.

That's all I mean I guess. Blood seems thicker but in the end it's all about desire and love. Who you can really trust. Sometimes, that has nothing to do with blood.

"Well, that can also be said of made families, you know?" O offered softly. "My mother is my mother, but if I had to say I have a family? It would be Ben and Chon, my friends. They have been there for me more than anyone else. And Lucy," she said softly to him.

[theredneck]

I wasn't talkin' about other lifeforms, I was talkin' about kin.

[theredneck]

He scrunches his face up a little bit, maybe it's due to the exposure of automatic rifle fire going off in earshot. So his only response to her softly spoken voice is, "Huh?"

[theredneck]

I know how that works sometimes, got a bunch of friends that are almost like family. They're still not the real deal.

[sam_k_roth]

Might be if you let them. Never know. And sometimes family isn't good for you, no matter how much you want them to be.

[theredneck]

I've let them get closer than they realize. [ He knows Merle's not good for him. ] Right now? I don't got much of a choice, world seems to need everyone rooting for it even if it's got a bunch of dicks in it.

[ofdrumsthesound]

You, dear boy, are in serious need of a humor transplant.

[sam_k_roth]

World is always full of a bunch of dicks.

[morituri_reverie]

It's true. I love my friends. I would do anything for them but I could never choose them over my family. I wouldn't want to choose at all but if I had to it would be my family every time.

Sorry for the late reply, I was sick with a virus

[beautifulsavages]

Gun fire? Why the fuck was their gunfire?

"Wha-what's going on? Why is there gunfire?" Her words had been momentarily forgotten as the worry set in. Her throat felt like it was going to close up on her.
