I'm asking [Daryl paused for emphasis, the weariness in his voice obvious. The day had been long and stressful.] if you'll help. Athena could use the help learning how to do that sort of thing and I ain't got no skill for more than carving arrows of my own. Trade you for the time, too. City's got a lot of decent supplies in it we can scavenge that you ain't got access to right now. Extra clothes, needles, threads, water-tight containers, materials for newer, better weapons, for those that know how to make them.

Ain't making no demands.

[Daryl paused, let that settle.]

Thanks for the meat. It'll be appreciated.
