Castle had made sure Tala and the girls had gotten into the truck as he banged on the side letting Mark know to drive off. After that he started to move towards the stranger as Marko who fallowed Castles orders had caught the stranger with his pants down. As Castle got closer and heard the voice of the man his ears picked up and he tilted his head. No way it could of been him he how could it be him? the thought kept crossing his mind Castle looked at Marko "Go to Ash and get the RV going catch up to Mark and the girls I'll be right behind." Castle waited using the darkness to keep his face covered no way it could of been him how could it? "So you alone? Or should I worry about others?" Castle felt abit on edge if this guy was who Castle thought then he had a lot of questions for him.

Wyatt was a bit overwhelmed by all the people and their guns. So he was smart enough to stand behind the door of his car, if they were bad people and they tried to shoot him, at least he had some cover. Then one of them stepped foreward and gave him a short speech about trust, followed by a question, he asked for Wyatt his name. “Look I know it’s hard to trust people these days, but if I meant to do you harm, I would have used my car to drive some of you over and also I would have used my gun by now.” Wyatt said softly. “My name is Wyatt and like I said I just want to find a new group of survivors.” He added. “If it’s not too much to ask for, can you tell me your name as well, easier to talk.” Wyatt said with a little smile. He did his best to keep his head cool, but if they decided he wasn’t to be trusted, this could mean his end.
Then a second man joined, he kept his face hidden but spoke. Wyatt heard how he asked if he was alone, but from the moment he spoke Wyatt heard something familiar. He waited a couple seconds while he thought why the sound was familiar, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. “No, nobody else, I kind of lost everyone I cared about.” Wyatt softly said as he thought about his brother and his female travel companion, he even reminded himself of the dog. Then he shook his head as he went back to reality. “I know I’m in no position to ask questions, but could you come out of the shadow, cause you sound vaguely familiar.” He said as he looked in his direction.
Castle still in the shadow tilted his head. "So are they dead?" He asked about the people he was travelling with. Sorrow swept thought him if they were dead Castle once again had no reasoning for him still breathing. "How did they die?" Castle wanted to know and since it was just him and Wyatt he could ask anything but when Wyatt asked him to step out of the shadows it made him sort of chuckle. "you're telling me you know many English men stranded in the U.S. or has the English started there recapture of the colonies with out me? The brigands." Castle stepped out of the shadow and had a faint smile. "I might go by a different name but I'm still the only man who will shout for queen and country here. It's Castle now or you can call me M'Lord I always thought i'd end up being a king of something." Castle walked closer to Wyatt and placed his hand on his shoulder. "It looks like we both have a story to tell."

As Wyatt answered the man in the shadow his questions, he only got more of them. He asked if his companion died and how she died. But the only thing Wyatt could think, was how familiar his voice sounded. Not much later the man made a comment about English men and colonies and then it hit him. Even before the man got out of the shadow Wyatt smiled and spoke. “Logan, is that really you?” he asked with a big smile. Then tension of the past few minutes dropped as Wyatt saw his face, when he stepped into the light. “It is you!” he yelled. Not much later he heard how Logan changed his name to Castle, immediately followed by a joke, as Cas said he could calm him M’lord.
“I’m so glad to see a familiar face, even if it’s your silly British one.” Wyatt said as he gave Castle a manly hug. Wyatt felt so much joy inside, he was so happy that he found one of his long lost friends. “Oh and I think I’ll call you Cas, M’lord is so not done these days.” Wyatt added, but the last part of his sentence he copied the British accent. Then Cas placed his hand on Wyatt his shoulder and said the probably should tell both their storys. Wyatt looked up with a bit sadness in his eyes. “I agree.” He softly said.
Marko kept his gun raised and ready as he listened to the man. "True, you could have, but then you'd be dead and I don't think you're suicidal enough, are you, Wyatt?" Marko had a few reservations holding the man at gunpoint, yet he couldn't possibly risk the safety of the girls by allowing what might be a would-be murderer into their midst. "You can call me Marko" He nodded, spotting Castle.
The man was hiding his face for some reason, as if he was afraid of being recognized. Marko's suspicions proved true. Their specific ties were unknown to him, but the fact that they knew eachother was quite clear. "You too know eachother then?" Marko lowered his gun, raising a bemused eyebrow at the Britishman. "I guess I'll leave you two to it then. Sorry for the warm welcome" Marko waved to the newcomer as he made his way back to the vehicles.
Tala sat in the back of the truck and watched what was going on. She couldn't hear, she was too far away. She was glad Mark had not just driven off, as she saw Marko headed back to them. She raised up and as he got closer, she asked"Marko...what's going on? Cas..gonna ride with that guy? We letting him come along?" She seemed confused and concerned. She moved back some for him to climb in , if he wished. "I don't like this, the woman knowing Clem, Clem getting upset, this guy showing up." She kept looking back at Cas and the male. "He...didn't seem dangerous to you?" She stared at Marko, and it showed right then, that she did trust him, or at least his judgement.
"They seem to know eachother, somehow. Seems like the reunions just keep coming today, huh?" Marko said wistfully, leaning against the vehicle. Despite what Castle said, Marko preferred to be outside where he could still observe them, at least until he was absolutely positive the newcomer was no threat.
"I don't like it either. All too... convenient." Marko turned back to Tala, the look of concern obvious on his face before shrugging "But who knows? Might just be that our luck's gotten better"
Gesturing towards the pair still engaged in conversation, Marko continued: " The guy's named Wyatt. He hasn't caused any trouble so far. Let's hope it stays that way"
"Wyatt." Tala repeated the name. She thought back to her talk with Cas. Had he mentioned a Wyatt? She couldn't remember, but knew there was a woman, someone Cas was looking for. Tala frowned, worried this man would give Cas bad news. Was the woman the one who had worn that ring around his neck? She shook her head, "I'm glad you checked him out." She said softly, and then saw the concern on his face, "We got a long way to Colorado, I think we should burn daylight, then stop for the night. I don't want to be traveling with the girls at night, it's too dangerous." She hoped he would agree with her, that would put to votes to finding a place to hold up. If she had to sleep in the truck again, she would loose it, she knew she would.
Wyatt Hugged Castle which made him smile and patted him on the back. "Come on chap the other survivors will get the wrong idea and start gossiping....It is good to see you mate." After the hug Castle looked back at the others then back to Wyatt. "We and I mean the royal we know a meant to be safe area up in Colorado that were heading to. You're more then welcome to come with in my books but they need convincing so just to build there trust pop your gun on the hood of your car as you get in. I'll pick it up on the way back after all three cars are better then two." he smiled hoping Wyatt would do as he said. Castle turned and started walking towards Tala and Marko stopping by the RV and opening the door "Hey you two sorry to bother you but were moving in five. And Lilly it's not a very warm welcome but welcome." he closed the door and proceeded to Tala and Marko.
When Castle got by the side of the truck where Tala an Marko were he leaned on the side and chuckled. "See Crumpet you are my lucky charm. We will move out in five Marko you have the choice of keeping watch of Tala, Mark and the girls or jumping in the RV." he turned to face them both. "Me and the new chap have a lot to talk about so i'll be riding with him but hey three cars and a sizeable group theres worse things I can think of." he paused for a moment and then proceeded to push himself off the side of the truck and turn to Tala. "The plan is still the same although I don't like the idea of travelling at night so we will have to make camp tonight but I'll get you to your friends." He smiled and turned around heading back towards wyatt. On his walk back he started to hum which soon turned into him softly singing. "But I would walk 500 miles And I would walk 500 more, Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles, To fall down at your door."
"Hey, I made a promise and frankly, I couldn't risk him being a crazy axe murderer" Marko smiled and shrugged, giving Tala a quick glance before turning his attention back to the pair of men beside the car. A hug. The two seemed to be on friendly terms, and even if Marko himself didn't quite fully trust the man, at least Castle did. "They seem like good friends. So, if things go sideways, we'll just use Castle as a meatshield" Marko joked, scoffing.
To be stuck stumbling around in the dark with a bunch of deads around you was basically a death sentence. "I agree. It's a long way to Colorado so the sooner we get moving, the more progress we can make before night fall" Marko stood up straight as Castle approached, giving them a quiet nod as greeting while the Englishman spoke
As with their original plan, Marko would be riding with Ash and Lily in the RV, keeping an eye on her asthey drove. Yet, he had made a promise to keep the girls safe and he doubted he could do that while sitting in a different vehicle. Marko looked at Tala and raised an eyebrow, silently seeking her opinion without interrupting Castle
Tala stared at Cas. Was he taking charge? THis was cute, and a bit scary. Tala realized he knew the new guy..Wyatt, but she didn't like this, them splitting up. She grabbed Cas' arm, "Be careful, people change." She locked eyes on him, to make sure he understood what she meant. She looked at Marko, and caught his expression, "I would like to not sleep in the truck, for once." She smirked at Marko, then eased back, "Stay with us....that way , when we stop, we can take " she raised a brow, thinking of a military term, 'point....then clear and then let Mark and the girls in." She watched Cas head back to the car, "You think that's a good idea?"

“No, I am not suicidal.” Wyatt said as he looked at the other guy, not much later he learned that his name was Marko.
“Well nice to meet you Marko.” He added. Then he heard how Marko asked if they knew each other and how he apologized for the strange welcome party. “Yes we do, and no problem, you need to be careful these days.” Wyatt said with a little smile.
After the hug with Cas he laughed with the joke he made. “What gossip, you mean they don’t know about our relationship.” Wyatt joked. But then it was time for the serious part, Cas invited Wyatt to join, but of course he needed to build some trust, so Cas asked him to places his guns on the hood of the car. Wyatt nodded. “Yeah I get that, it’s no trouble, thanks for letting me come though.” After that Wyatt removed his guns from the holster and placed them on the hood. Deep down he didn’t like the idea of having no way to defend himself, but he trusted Cas and besides it was a way to build some trust with the others. “Just make sure if we drive into some walkers or crazy people, that either you protect me or give me back my guns.” Wyatt said to Cas with a little smile, but yet in a serious tone.
Then he watched how Castle walked back to the others. Even though they were in the car, he could see the looks on all of their faces. Wyatt knew it would take some time and that it was hard to trust people these days, so he just walked back to his car and got in. Normally he would never just trust another group blindly, but he knew Castle and since he was with them, they were trustworthy. Then he saw how Castle walked back and since it was very quiet he could hear him singing. Wyatt smiled as he reminded himself how much fun he had with Castle. When Cas got closer Wyatt joined him with singing and waited for him to get in.
Castle Saw Wyatt was joining in and found it funny "Next stop my boy Broadway." Castle raised his arm and started waving "Alright Chaps Let's Get Rocking And Get These Cars Rolling!" Castle continued to walk towards the car and saw the hand gun on the hood. Picking it up he waltz's over to the passenger side and climbed in. Once he had sat down he looked at Wyatt "Don't worry boo I'll protect you or you know run while you distract them which ever suits you." Castle placed the gun in the cup holder so that it was in arms reach of Wyatt. Like hell was he about to leave a friend helpless. this was going to be a long trip but Castle moral was high and he hope the rest would soon fallow.
Lilly didn't respond to castle. She held onto herself until she felt a familiar presence. She looked over seeing Ash and Shadow. "Leave me alone." Getting up she moved to the front of the RV to drive until she saw Ash's hand on her shoulder. "You can't drive until your headaches stop. I'll be fine once we get out on the road again."
Ash entered the RV Shadow quickly raced up the steps almost knocking over him over. A quick curse followed as Ash walked into the RV. He looked at Lilly seeing Shadow wagging his tail by her. She rolled over and looked at the two. "Hey. I'll drive yo-" She blew him off and stood up moving to the front. He grabbed her shoulder stopping her. As she reminded him of his headaches he sighed. "Ok fine. But please stay with these guys. I trust them." She shut the curtain behind her sealing off the driver from the rest of the RV.
Sighing Ash sat down placing his crossbow against the wall. Shadow jumped up next to him almost immediatly. Laying down placing his head in his owners lap Shadow knew Ash would pet him he found out this trick early on in their relationship. Ash rubbed the dogs head as he waited for them to leave.
Marko watched Castle warily. It seemed the man was taking charge, intending on leading the group. A commendable act, the responsibilties of a leader were anything but simple; but that also brought up the question of whether he had what it takes. Marko decided to simply wait and see. He, especially him, didn't have any right to argue about leadership.
"The truck's not so bad. I've slept in worse places" Marko returned Tala's smirk. The memories of those 'worse places' made him cringe a little. The things you do for survival sometimes...
Mako smiled, partly thankful for her opinion, partly amused at Tala's military jargon. For the briefest moment, he considered spamming her with more army talk that she couldn't possinly comprehend, but eventually decided against it. Nodding, "Sounds like a plan then." He said "It might be a little cramped though. Hope you won't mind"
Tala leaned back and closed her eyes, "Nah...I don't mind, just don't snore." She smiled, but did not open her eyes. She listened to the sound of the engine, and scooted down some, laying her head on one of the back packs as a pillow, "when we stop for the night, I will take first watch."
Clementine's expression wavered, but never fully softened. She rather reluctantly followed Tala's guidance back toward the truck, her misty, dark eyes never leaving the familiar RV Lilly had disappeared into. Stopping, she stared in deep thought at the RV door. Indeed anger and a sense of betrayal permeated her demeanor, but hidden under all that was a sadness. A sadness that she couldn't just run after an old friend.
Shauna Kelly: That helped, thank you
