— GETTING OUT OF THE woods was something that everyone needed, whilst it was safer to travel in the woods to avoid the people of Terminus who may be following them, still, and Rick didn't want to take any precaution when it came to them. Zoe and Nate didn't exactly care where they were, as long as they were together, they didn't exactly care where they were, or what they were doing, since reuniting, they had been nothing but glad to be in each other's company, but now that the whole group had found their way back to one another, nothing could truly dampen their spirit.. Nate had fallen asleep first around the campfire, all the while Zoe scratched his scalp in a relaxing manner to calm him, it had ultimately worked, and the man fell asleep not long after she had begun doing it; she gave Daryl a smile when the older man looked over at her from afar, and he smiled back, before she finally laid her head back against the tree, slowly falling asleep eventually, gently scratching her boyfriends head as she did so, finding comfort in knowing that he was here with her, and they weren't split up anymore.
The morning when the two of them woke up, they found themselves bundled on the ground, curled together like an egg, and they had slept like that for most of the night, with Zoe wrapped around his arms, as if he was acting as a shield in the night where he couldn't protect her as well as if he was awake. Zoe couldn't help but smile up at Nate when she woke up first, stroking his face with a pure look of love on her own, until he finally woke up and smirked down at her, the girl leaning in for a long kiss as they had missed the feeling of waking up next to one another. It didn't matter to them that they were sleeping on a hard and cold floor, they were together, and that's all that really mattered to them — Nate felt confused when he woke up, forgetting where he was and who he was with, but when he saw his girl stroking his face and gazing at him with nothing but love and adoration, he instantly remembered that he had been reunited with the love of his life and the rest of their family, and his chest immediately warmed at the remembrance. "Morning." He mumbled, as the pairs faces were so close, their noses were nearly touching.
Zoe didn't reply at first, leaning in to give the man another kiss as the sunlight peeked through the tree tops, the whole group beginning to fidget and finally wake up, a few groaning in annoyance since they wanted more sleep. "Morning." She eventually replied, feeling warm in his arms and not wanting to move; they had a small blanket wrapped around them, the exact blanket that belonged to Daryl, so they both guessed that the man had given them his blanket during the night since he was on watch and didn't need it. The sight made the couple smile as they began to pack their things back into their bags, knowing that they couldn't have much time to sit around this morning due to the fact that they had to keep going, and hopefully, find a sanctuary soon enough, and finally settle down again. Nate didn't have much hope at finding one as good as the prison was, since that place gave everyone their own space, their own privacy, and nothing could ever match the feeling that everyone had there; Zoe, on the other hand, kept her hope up, because if she let it drop, she wouldn't be able to go on anymore..
