[ Daryl could probably fire something back - You're the one who looks carefully curated to be nothing in particular, what's that about - but he doesn't actually like bullying kids. Or anyone, really. And it's not like he cares about shit like that.
So he's quiet for another minute, weighing the pros and cons in his head of being forthcoming. Ultimately he decides that discussing the end of the world isn't wise; it's horror and drama, it's dredging up emotions in him that might make it harder to cope with being here without his hard-won family. And he's experienced with people judging him as-is. That's all it was before the fall. No problem going back to it. ]
Didn't run away, [ he says with a shrug. ] Just how shit is.
[ These are the clothes he has, this is the mall they've been ushered to. He's hungry, he's not going to starve just so he can use the stipend on looking fancy. ]
