Food, A good book, and a warm building. Bliss. Taking a steady, measured sip of her tea Amalie returned the cup to its saucer and returned to her book. Reading a number of passages she remained ever conscious of the sounds around here, to her left a couple were discussing their plans that evening, somewhere in front of her a man was boasting about the dead he had managed to kill while on a run that morning, one of his friends voiced her concern about the increasing numbers of them. Flipping the page Amalie blinked twice and took another sip of her tea before continuing. Across the room she heard the now familiar voices of Magna and Aubrey. Tuning back to her book Amalie finished her chapter before placing her bookmark back in and closing the page. Deciding it best that she be at least somewhat social with the members around her she gathered her belongings and approached the table Manga and Aubrey had taken.

"Greetings you two." She spoke softly and with an obvious french accent as she approached. "May I join you?"

Waiting for one of them to give her permission as she felt it was rude of her to just take a seat she looked to Aubrey who nodded. Nodding thanks to the girl Amalie took up a seat next to her and across from Magna. Setting her cup and saucer down on the table Amalie leaned back in the chair and enjoyed a slow sip, the cup sat half full by this point but that didn't matter, there was always more in her office if she wanted. Enjoying the taste Amalie set the cup back down and looked to the two girls. Aubrey had taken to telling Magna about her day while the woman in question continued to dig into her food, Not that she blamed her though as she had been placed on morning guard who didn't get breakfast, an unfortunate but necessary step they were all given double rations at lunch, which seemed to sit just fine with Magna judging by how much vigor she had in her.

Pulling her book back out of her pocket Amalie flipped to her page before slipping her bookmark into her coat pocket, Continuing to listen to the girl tell about her day with a joyous tone to her Amalie looked to her book and began to read. "How are you guys holding up?" She asked looking over her book at the two girls after a few minutes of silence.

Aubrey looked up as she heard a familiar voice speaking to her and Magna, when she looked up she smiled as she saw that it was Amalie. "Of course you can join us." said Aubrey in her cheerful British accent. When she sat down Aubrey smiled at the French woman. "I was just telling Magna here about my day." said Aubrey to Amalie. When asked about how they were doing Aubrey was all smiles as usual while Magna had her usual scowl on her face. "I'm fine, cheery as usual. I gotta say I love the work that-" said Aubrey before she was cutoff by Magna who rose her head up from eating and looked at Amalie. "Why does it seem like everyone is on edge? The dead have been showing up a lot more recently I'm guessing that has something to do with it. But I feel like there is more to it, so tell me what are you hiding?" said Magna being direct and getting to the point as she looked at Amalie.

Aubrey turned to look at Magna slightly surprised as it seemed to her that she was being rather hostile in her approach. "Hey Magna calm down alright? You are just being paranoid alright? I'm sure everyone is just one edge because well it's the end of the world and people are adjusting to this new life." said Aubrey as she was coming to the defense of Amalie but Magna looked at Aubrey and gave her that same scowl. "You just don't see it Aubrey, you are blinded by this place." said Magna to Aubrey who was hurt by the comment and she let out a heavy sigh before taking her plate of food and walking off. Magna then turned her attention back to the doctor and didn't say a word as she looked at her wondering if she would be honest rather then be all "buddy buddy" like George.

Having taken a seat to the side of the two newer members to their town Amalie had posed a question as to how they were handling the duties they had been assigned. Showing a prowess in their abilities to deal with the dead they had all been put on guard and scavenger duty for the most part. Her gaze shifting to Aubrey as she heard her begin to form an answer Amalie's eyes quickly moved to Magna when she interjected. Raising an eyebrow to the girl when she heard her ask why everyone was so 'on edge' and that she felt like there was more than they were telling her Amalie shifted in her chair. Gently setting her bookmark back in it's place she shut her book at let it come to rest on the table in front of her.

"Have you not been informed?" Amalie asked, a hint of confusion on her features at the fact Magna and the others hadn't yet been queued in to the threat they faced, That the walkers that showed up weren't there by mere happenstance. Leaning forward Amalie brought her hands together and rested her elbows on the table. Her eyes falling to the metal top of the table she shook her head and sighed. "Vous deviez leur dire au bout d'une semaine.."(You were supposed to tell them after a week..) She sighed to herself, sick of having to always be the one to bear the bad news to new arrivals due to their leaders forgetfulness Amalie brought a hand up and pinched the bridge of her nose the same way she had done countless times before.

Looking up she caught the eyes of the two girls before her and took a breath, she knew what the general response they would give would be, They'd either show interest in bringing the fight to the enemy; which judging by the way Magna carried herself was probably the response she would have. Or they would want to leave. Both choices served little gain to them in the long run, on one side of the coin they'd run the risk of losing it all, but on the other they'd have to restart. For the time they had decided to appease them, but that would only last so long. A fact Amalie was well aware of. Opening her mouth Amalie locked eyes with the two girls letting them both know she was telling them the truth through and through.

"You should have been informed of this about a week ago, I apologize that it slipped our leaders mind for this long." She started, her hands coming together on the table again. "Everyone is on edge because of a threat that showed itself at the beginning of last month. They call themselves The Sirens, a Somewhat sizeable group of female miscreants who bully their way out of supplies. They're the cause of the increased amount of dead. They plant them." Amalie explained, This was the point she expected to get one of the two responses she predicted. Going quiet she listened for how they would take the news, prepared to adjust her words accordingly.

Magna looked at the doctor as she asked wither they were informed or not. Magna shook her head and soon enough Aubrey came back to grab her cup but as she did Magna grabbed her hand gently. "Please stay. I'm sorry." said Magna softly to Aubrey who looked at her leader for awhile before nodding. She knew Magna was a tough cookie and could sometimes fly off the handle even when she didn't mean too. So for her to apologize it was rare. She sat back down and soon enough both girls were informed of what was happening. A group called The Sirens it almost sounded surreal. "How? I mean how do they "plant" the dead?" asked Aubrey to Amalie. Magna of course was running the opinions through her head. This wasn't her fight or her group's fight so they could leave but she knew how much the group had become attached to the place in there short time there. She looked away from Amalie for a moment thinking of what to say.

"Why haven't you tried to fight back? You know what happens when you run out of supplies? They will destroy this place and I am not putting my people at risk for your war!" said Magna in a serious tone to Amalie. Her stare was filled with anger but soon Aubrey put her hand on Magna's back and rubbed it in an attempt to calm her down. "Magna calm down alright? Just relax okay?" asked Aubrey to Magna softly as she tried her best to calm her down but at the same time she didn't want anybody looking at them. "You said they take supplies? Is there a meeting place or something? We could set up an ambush for them." suggested Magna to Amalie. While she didn't necessarily like the idea of her or her people getting involved in a war she would do her best to keep them alive.

Taking a small measured sip of her tea Amalie leaned back in her chair after explaining what George clearly failed to explain to them.. Again. Taking another sip as she let the information sink in she studied the faces of the two girls before her, Aubrey seemed to be taking the news as well as she Amalie was hoping but it obviously bothered Magna. Raising an eyebrow at the girl as she asked how they planted the dead Amalie sighed and shut her book. Setting it down on the table she sat up and took another sip of her tea before setting it too on the table. "Trucks, it would appear. From the reports they use modified vehicles with a holding pen in the rear that they use to drop off the dead." She explained.

Studying their faces as they mulled over the information Amalie stayed quiet and waited for them to speak first, hearing Magna speak up and ask in a fairly angry tone why they weren't fighting back Amalie contorted her feature, not being one to tolerate people raising their voice she frowned. "Don't raise your voice to me child." She said in a stern response. "But to answer your question." She continued, her voice softening to an extent. "We have been, You've probably noticed the extended patrols being sent out yes?" Sighing Amalie sit up in her seat and looked Magna in the eyes. "I don't expect you to put your people at risk. We are fighting back, We are doing something about it, But they're position is strong, and dealing with them in delicate." She explained

Breaking eye contact with the girl Amalie got to her feet and gathered her belongings. "I understand your concern Magna, I share it myself. But know that we are indeed taking action to prevent this place from falling. In more ways than one." With that Amalie took her leave.

Reaching her office Amalie closed the door behind her and took a deep breath, letting it out slowly before crossing the room to her desk, on the far end rested a crumpled image of her daughter, Ellie, a face she hoped dearly to see again some day, hopefully not in a state of decease. Reaching out Amalie collected the image and looked at it for a time.

"Oh ma chérie, sois prudente. Où que tu sois."(Oh my sweet, Stay safe. Wherever you are.)
