[ Rubbing people the wrong way is really one of his finer qualities. He's an abrasive guy, and people tend not to like that. Whatever, it's who he is. ]

I could eat. Been a while. [ His reply to Rick's second question comes after a bit of hesitance. Shit, it's not that he's lying to the guy, he's just bending the truth. A bit. ]

Had a group and got separated. Somewhere around Virginia?

[ They were trying to build something at the prison, a stability they hadn't found in so long and it made Rick very reluctant to add anyone else to their group. Larger numbers would not do them any favors and the man in front of him just screamed liability risk but for now he'd let him stay. ]

Let's get ya somethin to eat. Should help with the recovery.

[ Leading the way to the mess hall they cleared out, he nodded his head for a moment. ]

Sorry 'bout your group. Maybe some of 'em survived.

For their sake they better have, they're no good to me dead.

[ He shrugs a shoulder, but it pulls on his wound in an unpleasant way, making him grimace. Negan follows a few steps behind Rick, taking in everything that he's seeing. Honestly, it's goddamn impressive, because this prison looked overrun by walkers from the outside. ]

[ A few moments later, they reached the inner courtyard, Rick gesturing for Negan to sit down at one of the tables. It unsettled him having someone they did not know there. Someone who had an air about him and Rick trusted very little to begin with.

Regardless, he grabbed for some water, an apple and a can of beans. He opened the can with his own :) are before he sat it down in front of Negan. ]

What's your group like? Where did ya last see 'em? Might come across 'em when we go out.

[ Negan sits himself down at the table across from Rick and helps himself to the apple, first. It's been a long damn time since he had fresh fruit, and he groans. Fuck, there's nothing more refreshing than a crisp apple. ]

Been a few days, at least. They're a bunch of assholes, but I think that can be said for most groups nowadays. Not sure whether they've kept going or not.

[ something about the guy just put Rick on edge but without anything concrete and with the state of his injuries, the rest of the group would not accept him sending the guy out in the very literal cold. Soon, it would be near freezing and they needed the numbers. ]

When we go out, I'll be on the lookout. Got a couple runs to do tomorrow. You can get that looked over again. Keep it easy.

[ He paused for a moment. ] That cell next to mine can be yours.

[ Rick would probably do best to not trust Negan as far as he could throw him, he's charmed his way out of stickier situations than this. ]

Where are you thinking of looking? Come to think of it, not entirely sure where the fuck I am.

[ Said as he looks around the empty cafeteria. He can't think off the top of his head what prison it might be. There are so many of them that it likely doesn't matter at the moment. ]

[ Do you really think he's going to give you more details than you actually need, Negan? Nice try, though, and at first Rick just shook his head. But he started talking again after a few silent beats. ]

There's a couple towns not too far away from here. Should be somethin' still worth scavenging.

Don't know that it really matters where the prison is till ya heal up and can get back to your people.
