Lucas looked around the room and when Devon and Liam did materialize out of thin air, he turned to look down at June, who was still having a wonderful time with Wally and Marti.
"June," he said questioningly. "Where did Devon and Liam go?"
( @Davadio )
Alastor gave Lucky a small smile. "There's no need to apologize, I just overreacted, that's all." He turned his gaze to his fluffy companion. "And yeah, we can start again."
He was glad that Lucky wasn't mad at him. Having someone in the group hate him wouldn't be the most ideal situation to be in.

"June," he said questioningly. "Where did Devon and Liam go?"
June shrugged, "they went to get stuff to make me a drink. We were playing truth or dare"

Lucky smiled as they came up to the building. "Well, we made it." He was mostly joking, but⦠in the current situation, making it back to a home base was always a question mark.
He walked Sinjoro up the steps and into the front hall, tethering him to his spot from before. He noticed that several of the doors had been opened and wondered who was doing the raiding. Probably a smart idea.

(think that puts them all back together again)
Ronni rolled her eyes. They were looking for alcohol of all things. In their current predicament, she couldn't think of a more useless task.
Alastor also spotted the opened doors and out of habit reached for a gun that wasn't there, but he forced himself to relax a bit when he realized that it was the probably someone from the group that did it.
Zeus sniffed around and looked wary as he let out a loud bark to announce their presence, his ears alert and his tail lower to the ground than usual as he moved back closer to his owner, standing in front of him protectively.
Now Alastor really wished he had his weapons belt. Is there maybe another dog around? he wondered, glancing at Lucky. Zeus didn't act this defensive unless he sensed a potential threat; which for the German Shepherd could be another dog since Alastor didn't tell him anything otherwise.

Lucky noted Zeus's behavior and wondered about it. He stepped into the living room of the apartment and immediately noticed Marti and Wally.
"Oh, new dogs. Cute." he said, loudly enough for Alastor to hear. He glanced at June, Lucas and Ronni. "How long they been here and where'd they come from?"
Alastor patted Zeus on the head reassuringly, and the dog relaxed a bit, still looking wary.
He walked into the apartment of the living room and stood next to Lucky, shooting him a grateful look. "Thank you."
Zeus came in a few moments later and practically glared at the new dogs, standing next to Alastor, giving an annoyed huff at how small the space felt with so many people and now dogs in it.

Lucky looked around, noting Devon and Liam were missing, as well as Ariella.
I hope those two wound up talking, good grief.
He knelt and reached out towards Marti, gently petting her ears. June had the puppy occupied.
He glanced up at Alastor. "Zeus going to be ok with new doggos around? It's a mom and a pup, so no real threat to himβ¦"
Ariella tensed as she heard the voices in the living room. She looked down at the medical supplies spread out in front of her. She did mental count of everything she had before quickly packing it away. She still didn't any of them enough to believe the wouldn't try to take her medical supplies. She briefly touched the wound on her face as a memory flashed in her head. She shook herself out of it.
"Once he gets to know them he'll be fine," Alastor replied, looking at Zeus who slowly walked over to Marti and sniffed her curiously.

Lucas smiled and started explaining the current situation with the canines. "Ronni and I just found them. We went to Walmart to get a tarp to cover the bed of the truck, in case it rains and this guy tried to hurt us, we survived but we took his dogs, they had no name tags so we named the puppy, who's a boy: Wally, and the mom, Marti."
He turned to look at June.
"June whatever your middle name is, whatever your last name is." He said sternly. "You do not need alcohol atβ" he checked his watch "one in the afternoon, you'll have a migraine before nightfall."
( @Davadio )
Lucas rolled his eyes and turned away from her, looking directly at Lucky.
"So how did your expedition into the outside world go?" He asked seriously. "Only asking because ours ended with us almost dying."

Lucky nodded along, until Lucas said they'd been attacked. "Somebody tried to hurt you? Are you both ok?" He looked from Lucas to Ronni and back, his gaze suddenly intense.
He wanted to be sure they were ok, but he also wanted to know if the group should be worried about someone hostile nearby.
Ronni nodded quickly, and pulled her hand across her throat.
Threat is dead.
Lucky got the point, but kept his eyes on them, checking them over from a distance. "What happened, Lucas?"
Lucas glanced briefly at Ronni before he turned his gaze back to Lucky.
"I mean we went into Walmart, there was this guy who attacked us, but Ronni saved my life, so she took care of it." He told Lucky, careful to keep his voice calm. "Nothing to worry about really."
emoji_events
Lucky managed to keep his expression more or less neutral. "Saved your life? Sounds pretty serious."
He didn't know either of them very well, but the thought of them dying in a Walmart to some guy was justβ¦
Well. He'd adopted the group, accidentally, and losing them was something he was going to work very hard to avoid.
Lucas looked at Lucky and then in a friendly way, slung one arm across his shoulders.
"Lucky," he reassured his friend. "We're fine. I promise."

Ronni knew he wasn't going to take that as an asnwer, so she very quickly formed a gun with her thumb and pointer finger and tipped it slightly.
I shot himβ¦
Lucky saw it, and nodded at her, before exhaling, a long breath out. "I'm glad you're alirhgt, Lucas. Just⦠be careful, friend."
Lucas nodded solemnly and stood up straight, retracting his arm from around Lucky's shoulder.
"I will," he said seriously. "You can never be to careful in a world like this one."

"how else would you drink it? warm?" he shook his head.
( @SeeYouInHellLove yo, repost)
(ahh sorry)
Liam shrugged "upside down maybe?"
business
"that'd be interesting to watchβ¦you got everything yet?" Devon asked.
Leo looked through his bag and nodded. "I think so. want to head back?" he asked walking to the door.
business
He walked back to the door to their apartment, pausing to listen before flinging opening the door. "We have returned!"
Lucas looked at Liam and smiled lightly, standing up and straightening his beige, tan and black flannel.
"I think we might head out soon." Lucas told them all and then looked back to Liam.
"We got new dogs too."
emoji_events
Ronni jumped when they came through the door. She grabbed at Lucas, only for him to stand up. She collected herself, only to be surprised again when Lucas said they might leave soon.
Lucky voiced what she was thinking. "Lucas, do you think it's a good idea to head out in late afternoon? We wouldn't get very far, unless you're planning on traveling through the night, whichβ¦"
Wasn't a smart idea.
Ariella stepped out of the room quietly and back to the living room. Her eyes landed on Lucky briefly before looking away. She was getting antsy being held uo in the small apartment with so many bodies. She was ready to go. Go anywhere. Her hands were twitching and she started fiddling with them.
emoji_events
Lucky looked up when she stepped out, and smiled in her direction. She wouldn't look at him, so that was concerning, but. She'd at least broken Devon out of his silence, he was talking to Liam just fine.
