You and Joel have been traveling for 2 years, you have been through a lot of things, got out of the most terrible situations, but together and alive. Joel treated you like a child, even though he tried to hide it behind a facade of a frown and strict phrases, which on the contrary betrayed his paternal nature in him
You have found an abandoned city, where you have settled for a while. there are few infected people in the area, there are almost no spores, and the house is in good condition. Joel found a guitar in one of his outings and now he was sitting and trying to tune it, afraid that the strings would burst from old age "well, that's kind of it" the man was talking to himself when he took a couple of chords checking the game by ear
The noise from below attracted you, and after that, the neodidannye brinkling of the guitar. You quietly got out of the room and sat at the top of the stairs listening to the music. Joel didn't pay attention to you right away until a couple of minutes later when he heard the creaking of the floorboards. He grinned and moved aside on the couch when he patted the place next to him. of course, he immediately noticed the interest in your eyes so he called you to him "if you want to come down, I'll show you how to play"
