Rick had taken Carl and Michonne on a run. The man had offered Cassian to go, but she was too scared. After what happened last time, she didn't want to leave the prison for a little while.
When they got back, Cassian was heavily surprised. They brought back guns. And lots of them. She spied a new crossbow for Daryl and the girl had helped Carl bring in a crib for Judith. It was definitely an upgrade from the cardboard box the baby had been sleeping in.
After she helped to bring everything in, Rick had passed the girl a machete, with the agreement from Judd, of course. Cassian beamed at her dad and ran off to show Carl.
After the two hunted down a roll of tape to put on the handle, red just like her backpack, Cassian could hold the weapon more comfortably. She spent a long time practically playing with the weapon and Carl.
It was then Rick approached Cassian again, handing the girl a new set of boots. "Judd mentioned he was needing to get you some bigger shoes." Rick told the girl as she beamed up at him. Cassian hugged the man.
"Can... can you show me how to change the laces, please?" Cassian asked almost shyly.
"Of course." Rick smiled at the girl. The two spent most of the afternoon practicing how to re-lace the boots, Rick even showed her a different way to tie them. She couldn't wait to show her dad.

They were meeting with the Governor. Rick, Hershel, Judd and Daryl. Judd wasn't sure how they got into this position, but they were here now. Judd stayed in the car with Hershel as Rick and Daryl went to scout the place out.
"He's already in there." Daryl told the two as he came back over to the car. "Sat down with Rick."
"I don't see no cars." Judd observed, getting out of their car and making a move to stand beside Daryl.
"This dosent feel right." Hershel spoke. The three looked over to the right as a truck approached, both Daryl and Judd aiming their weapons at the vehicle, Hershel stepping out of the car carefully.
Three people got out of the truck, one of them was Andrea.
"What the hell?" Daryl addressed the woman. "Why's your boy already in there?"
"He's here?" Andrea asked. Judd resisted the urge to scoff at the woman.
"Yup." Daryl said. They watched as Andrea sighed, walking into the building with Rick and the Governor. The five left outside just stared at eachother, before Hershel broke the silence.
