Who: Clementine and Joel
What: Pestering and talking about sad things, most likely.
When: Today.
Where: Joel's room.
Rating: D for Damn Joel your life is Dark.
It's been a strange month. Since coming back from her trip home, Clementine's felt like she's been living in a haze. Nothing feels real. Lee, Ben, Carley--she's been spending all of her time with people that she had to force herself to move past, push to the back of her mind. Every morning she's a little surprised to still be in the castle. She's surprised to see them. The repeating shock to her system is more exhausting than she'd ever imagine.
When she thinks about it, the only time things felt solid was when that thing nearly killed her and Ben. Otherwise, she feels like she's experiencing everything through a dirty window.
It's not a good thing. She knows that much. But she's not really sure how to bring that up to anyone without them coddling her or worrying too much themselves. Lee, especially. They sort of talked about it, but it's not like there's an easy solution, and god, she's freaked him out enough already being the way she is now.
Clementine figures she just needs more time to readjust and get used to not living a life full of walkers and loss. It shouldn't be this hard. She'll get over it, eventually.
Eventually.
Instead of sitting around and dwelling on things she doesn't think can be fixed today, she heads out into the hall and goes over to Joel, Tess, and Ellie's room. Maybe she'll hang out with Ellie, if the girl isn't worried about giving her another concussion. Maybe she'll try to make nice with Tess, since she gave it a decent attempt lately. Maybe she'll chat with Joel. It all depends on who is home.
She lifts her hand and knocks.
