[That's exactly what she does: low and fast, not looking for details so much as a general impression. Walkers tend to be hard to miss and she hears them, she smells them, but she doesn't find them.
She doesn't try too hard. She makes note that all the main routes on the street are still open, for now anyway, and then she works her way up to the top of the building that was marked for her.]
[ Weird shit’s been going down — weirder and more pornographic than usual, and that worries him. It’s a break in the pattern, and those rarely spell good things. But he knows Rosita enough to trust her with a weapon if not at his back when, and there are rotters about. Maybe.
That has to be dealt with.
He steps out silently, inclining his head toward her. ]
She does, in fact, have her knife in her hand but it's held low and defensive at her side rather than raised and ready. She keeps it there when she spots him, glances him over and moves closer.
Rosita trusts him to handle walkers, but she also doubts she'll ever forget that he thinks people need testing.
"No. There's some kids hanging out a block over not acting concerned, and some people moving around, but no walkers. I heard them, though."
She remembers her own sprint through the streets, chasing a phantom baby crying and the scent of old death and new blood, never finding it - until she did.
"And people aren't afraid of them - or they can't see them." She glances around one more time to make sure they're clear, and slides her knife away. "Have you actually seen any of them? Even once?"

Which is some bullshit. Carver sucks on his teeth.
"No screaming, though. So they're not eating people."

Which points to hallucination or trick. But if she can hear it, and smell it, then it's not just him.
Carver shakes his head. "No. Not with my own two eyes. So it's probably a trick."
