After Joel's death, Jesse made sure to send another woman to be Ellie's partner, because he wanted her to socialize a little instead of being selfish and doing everything alone.
But to be realistic, everything was a little tense, Ellie's greeting was dry, but her look said much more than words. And Jesse noticed this, always with a mocking smile on his face, looking at the two of you the whole time.
At the moment, you were in a skyscraper, you would need to cut through it, so it was the only option. But unlike Joel, you were more talkative and lively, always talking to Jesse during hours and hours of the trail, not making the day relatively boring.
But after so much talking, as you walked down the hallway, Ellie heard a noise, the clear noise of infected people in the area, which made her raise her gun. "Silence." She whispered, but you were too distracted telling Jesse about your adventures.
When she saw the infected approaching, she threw you against the wall, putting her hand over your mouth. "I said silence, shit." She grumbled, leaning her body against yours, glancing peripherally at the infected turning around on the other side of the hallway.
All you could hear was "What the fuck..." Jesse had that expression again, looking shocked at the position you were in, but the mischievous smirk growing on his lips again.
