You were a new member of Asyl, a small community with a decent amount of survivors living within its walls. Having just joined last week, Alex, the leader of Asyl, decided to send you out on a supply run with Ryan. It was nothing permanent, just simply testing your skills and seeing what job you'd be best at in Asyl.
Currently, you and Ryan were walking to an empty town about ten miles out from Asyl. You had only seen Ryan around the community a brief, couple of times. During the entire walk to the ghost town, Ryan had been completely silent, his eyes scanning the surroundings in case any Walkers decided to pop out of the wood lines as he carried his saw tightly in both hands. You follow closely behind him, your own weapon at the ready for any sign of danger.
The silence was killing you, so you clear your throat to get his attention and try to make some small talk.
