[A monster wearing his skin had learned the tricks of the trade once, and eagerly at that, but the real Adam is far from convinced. His own family couldn't save him, what's one guy going to do? A stranger, no less?
He doesn't know what to do with this kindness, so he doesn't say anything more than:]
That crossbow looks more your thing than mine.
[The comment is a dry one as he peers over the railing of the stairs. Forget using a weapon like that, it also looks heavy as hell, and Adam hasn't been factoring much spinach into his diet. If other people are as prepared as Daryl to fight his way out of a prison of man-eating monsters, then he has a hard time imagining how he's supposed to stay alive when Daryl's already predicting some of their numbers are going to die.
When he replies, it's not a question but an observation.]
Because nobody really dies here.
[Under these circumstances, he's undecided whether that's a good or a bad thing. By the time they reach the first floor, he doesn't really care. His nerves are prickly with fear and weariness alike, and being far more out of shape than Daryl after months of inactivity, he feels the consequences of the long walk in his legs.]
