And today was a day just like any other.. (David)

[David B.]

He stretched.

"Good. I'm glad. It's a brilliant coat. It can do wonders." He stood, picking up his pack and setting it where he was sitting previously. Tearing off his sweater, he revealed a white tank, exactly like the ones he used to wear as a teenager. He hadn't changed all that much. Stuffing the sweater into the bag, he looked over his shoulder, in the direction of the city, where he was wanting to head. He was eager to get there....and less eager to meet Unfettered. The man probably wasn't going to give him something without wanting something in return...he paused. Though she was right. It was far too much to carry, and making four thousand trips didn't sound too enticing.

"Alright, I suppose stopping by and seeing the old German wouldn't be to bad. Shall I just follow you?"

He noticed her sudden turn of mood when he said he was staying- but he left it out of his comments. Why? Because hell, it made him giddy that's why. Not only because of the idea of staying in one place for more than a day, but because she was actually excited he was going to be there. He wasn't quite sure how much use he'd be to her gang. In recent months, he had all but given up on combat. He still stayed in pristine condition, but just didn't worry so much about proving himself. He liked working on cars now. On travel. On finding his family and making what he could out of the life he had left. He supposed that's all anyone ever really wanted.

On that note, Olesya climbed to her feet and grabbed her own pack, sliding it over her shoulders. She led him back into Crows territory, the journey itself was a bit winding due to debris and blocked off streets and other hazards. A couple hours of beautiful scenic walking later, Olesya paused outside of a particular abandoned building.

"This is where I stay. HQ is a little farther in, but I like my peace and quiet. There's a couple main residence buildings there, or some people have re-inhabited the more stable buildings. I'm on the top floor, so you could stay here if you'd like, or you could have a building of your own. Scrounger's paradise."

She laughed, pulling the water bottle and the bag or her findings from the travel pack and tossing the pack through one of the broken windows to pick up later.

The area she called HQ was only another half hour walk, the city looking more and more inhabited as they got closer. There were children playing in the debris, people talking, laughing, arguing, playing games...life still went on even when the world was over. Olesya pointed out some important buildings, before pointing out the one Unfettered was normally in.

"Jon...Unfettered is usually really busy. He's got the Militia here too, so everyone's been working together. It's quite brilliant, really. But you'll be able to find him if you look hard enough."

She smirked, knowing that with David's determination, Jon could be in a hole in the ground and he'd still find him.

The tour was rather as he expected, though noticing more people was a little different. There had been very few survivors he had come across on his way here, though in truth he stuck to the main roads and tried not to move to deep into the cities. He didn't want to risk biker gangs or thieves holding him up and trying to take everything he had on him. He had made a mental note of where she lived, knowing he would definitely be by to see her after speaking with Unfettered. Finding the guy probably wasn't going to be easy, since the man seemed to be everywhere at once. Always a trick up his sleeve, that one.

He remembered the last time he spoke with Unfettered, the man had gone out of his way to show how David was a hypocrite- a move David respected. He was a hypocrite, back then. Said one thing, acted another. He took a deep breath. Meeting the German again....he turned turned back to Les. Shouldering his pack high up onto his back, he went in for an unexpected hug. A quick one, before pulling back, staring her in the eye.

"Thank you Les. Sincerely." He stared at the place she had gestured, where Unfettered was suppose to be. "I suppose i'll...try and check it out." He would take a couple steps forward before turning back.

"Where can I find you after....?"

[Your Mom~]

The young woman froze as David hugged her. Olesya couldn't remember the last time anyone had hugged her, it was almost a foreign concept. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, though her heart quickened and a slight pink tinge grew on her cheeks.

"I...uh.."

It took her a moment for her to get all of her motor skills back after the shock to her system. She recovered easily enough, adopting a mildly amused expression.

"I'll be back at my place more than likely."

She gestured back the way they had come. She still had to drop off her found items, but that wouldn't take more than a few minutes. She generally visited 'town' once a day, but other than that mostly kept to herself. It was better that way. Due to all of the things she'd gone through in the last seven years, Olesya wasn't completely adjusted to normal living life, or what was now being perceived as normal. She often felt awkward among groups of people, and preferred to just do things on her own. She didn't mind companionship, just in small doses.

"I'll see you around then."

She waved, turning and heading off to give away her findings, leaving David to do his business.
