Such a beautiful voice Korbyn had thought the instant he had heard the blonde haired girl-Lucky as she had just informed-spoke. His skeptical eyes studied her and the dog, an eyebrow raising in slight question as the boy and two girls spoke of trains and cars. Korbyn flinched noticeably as Maxy shot yet another raider, dropping him to the ground with a muted thud in the building snow. The silent man took a noticeable step backwards, swallowing to wet his suddenly dry throat.
His eyes went to the girl and the dog, eyeing her suspiciously as she agreed to be allies so quickly with this gun slinging little boy. Children should never be trusted with weapons, especially guns, they had short tempers and could throw fits over the littlest of things. This wasn't a good idea and in his gut he knew he should've walked away and found a different path to Japan. But his heart was telling him to stay with these girls and protect them from the brat holding the guns.
Their blind trust in the boy would end up getting them killed, there was no arguing with a child, it wouldn't turn out well either way. Lifting his hand he turned attention towards him, smiling warily as he waved to the small, now allied, group. Quickly he scribbled down on his piece of notepad paper, looking up at the girl he had handed it to before, shaking his head slightly. Tearing the paper he capped his pen and walked towards Maxy, cautiously, stopping a few feet away before stretching out his hand to give the piece of paper to the boy.
My name is Korbyn Newman. I want to come with you to Japan. Lucky is right about the train, it comes twice a day, but it is run by the raiders.
Korbyn wrote on another piece of paper, tearing it off to hand it to Maxy again.
We'd be better off finding a car. I'd be willing to help you fix one into driving conditions. Besides, you'll need someone besides Elsie to drive.
Korbyn had figured Lucky had some sort of vision problem to be walking around with such a loyal dog and the man didn't know if Maxy was old enough to drive yet, or if he had the durability to drive for long periods of time.
