This is Rosita. I'll hit you back when I can.

If you're going to go, I'd rather you just do it now.

Rosita.

I'm staying until you can choose where to go.

I've heard that before.

I guess I'll just have to check in with you every single day to prove I'm still here then.

That's not what I'm saying.

You're saying you think I'm going to leave you when I just told you I'm not.

I generally try to be honest with myself, yes.

Yeah. So I'll check in every day you're wrong about me.

I want to be wrong, Jesus.

I do.

That's what I'm here for.

The one time Rosita Espinosa was proved wrong about a trendy gay man.

Do you - stay in Alexandria, then?

Or did the Rosita you know move to Hilltop or?

Why do you talk about me like you do?

No. It was sort of better than that?

We're both scouts. You're the best Alexandria has, and I'm...sort of the only one the Hilltop has. So we'd go out a lot together.

[She makes a sound of understanding, because she does. Bonds formed on the road run deep, and they're tested from day one in ways others might never be.

No wonder.]

I'm glad you had that. I'm still -

Well, honestly, I'm still being kind of a bitch to everyone including you.

You've been through a lot. And the Admiral didn't exactly give you time to figure anything out.

I get it.

You -

You helped Maggie.

...and Sasha.

...Yeah. I tried to.

I don't know how much I actually did.

There wasn't a lot to be done.

But I wasn't - I'm not sure. What to do around you.

You helped Sasha.

...Is that a bad thing?

No. I'm glad you did.

But it means I don't know -

I just thought maybe you were closer to her.

No. I'm not really close to anyone, Rosita.

I think I annoyed her more than anything. She was always really frustrated with me.

That's just how she was.

She'd lost a lot.

I know. I...just always felt she needed more than I could give. But I tried.

It doesn't mean we can't learn to be friends, does it?

It's just how she was.

Me and Michonne - we found her once, tired of being on the defense, killing as many walkers as she could find. She needed something she wasn't going to find while she was alive.

But no, it doesn't. But you're not learning. You're acting like we're already there.

What do you need me to do?

Let me go on some scouting runs with you.

You're the only other survivor here. The only one I don't have to explain anything to. That'll take us a long ways, but I don't know the things that you know.
