He'd wandered far enough away from the farm that he'd come across a stray walker. Putting it down had been easy, but it had already gotten a hold of him. It wasn't until he was almost back that he'd noticed the hole in his jacket. Panic had set in then and he'd started stripping down as quick as he could, adrenaline pumping through his system.
He doesn't acknowledge her straight away, tearing his shirt off and dumping it, hand clawing at his own shoulder, hoping there was no blood. No bite.
She strays from her path to approach Tommy, holding a tray in which she was bringing some scraps of food for the guy Rick and Shane are holding captive.
Even thought she's not sure why Tommy is acting strange, these last couple of months have taught her to be a pessimist. "What's wrong?"
When he realises he's bite free, he calms down quickly, turning to face the teen with a smirk on his face.
"Nothin'. I'm good, darlin'." He shrugs, keeping to himself how close he came. Scaring her was the last thing he wanted. Things were still... raw after Dale.
It's been a rough last couple of days. After Sophia and Dale, Daryl moving away from the group and Rick and Shane goin batshit crazy about what they're doing to this kid? She's cried so much she is not sure she's got any tears left. So, the natural next stage is to be pissed off.
To make things easier the group is treating her like a little kid and forcing her to stay in a room while 'adults talk'. Well, fuck that. And fuck Tommy for clearly believing he can fool her.
"You were just freaking out." Her voice is firm now. "What the hell happened?!"
Rick's on patrol, pacing less than patiently down the long line of the fence surrounding Herschel's place. Tommy's shout carries in the still, stale air and it's more than enough to get Rick running full out toward his voice.
Not again is the only thought. His gun is pulled out as he goes.
The assurance doesn't keep Rick from doing a once-over of Thomas, just to make sure. He tries to keep it from being intrusive but the need to see with his own two eyes is too strong to ignore. "What happened?"
He let's Rick look him over, let's him reassure himself that they aren't going to lose yet another person so soon. "Didn't see it 'til it was too late. Managed to get a knife ink his skull, but... He got my jacket, missed me."
Rick finally steps back and holsters the gun he's still got to hand. It doesn't take more than a glance to find the body, and he steps on the Walker's neck with a wet sound as he pries the knife out of its head.
Blade wiped absently on pants, Rick hands it back handle-first. "What're you doing out here by yourself?"
Tommy completely ignores everyone in his panic, his priority being to reassure himself that he isn't bit, isn't infected. Once his sure his skin is bare save the tattoos and childhood scars, Tommy takes a few calming breaths.
"I'm good. I'm fine. Damn."
ooc: I had written this... and then my laptop died and ate it!
Jessica keeps after him though, his panic enough to cause her to worry that something might have happened to him. The paramedic slows her pace though as she's finally caught up to him and met with his bare back toward her. Hearing his reassurance.
