It'd be good, but there's already so much fighting. It's tiring..at what point to we become them? It's not going to stop unless one of them is dead, but it doesn't have to be that way, does it?
[ What kind of organization can their be for four feuding groups, where one is lording over them? Negan has a system, sure, but the system sucks.
Carl shuffles so that he can actually lay down, but keeps an eye on Bull. As tired as he is, he really doesn't want to close his eye just yet. ]
Sometimes...people aren't willing to compromise, they think their way's best so why worry about understanding another one? Hopefully that's not the case here, but...
...I think that's enough worrying about political bullshit we can't touch right now, right?
I get it, kid, but you have to realize you can't save everyone, and that it's not even your job to try.
[ He smiles, though. ]
You know, you remind me a lot of me when I was your age...shit. I sound old. [ He shook his head slightly that thought. Bull. You are old. ] Anyway, see, I used to help my Tama take care of the other kids. We were all the same age, but there were a lot of us, so I made sure she knew when someone wasn't feeling well, or if they were acting out. I took care of them in practice...it didn't really matter if it was my job or not, just...felt right, you know?
Family looks out for one another. Maybe I couldn't save everybody, but if you treat everyone you don't know with suspicion, you could be missing out.. People can't survive on their own.
[ At least he got to save Siddiq from a lonely existence out on his own..and he got Alexandria out before everything burned. ]
[ The punches just kept coming with this kid, though something, sort of in a detached way, comes to Bull's mind as he looks at the picture. He hasn't seen many human children. ]
[ There aren't many children in his world anymore, either. It's not a place for kids, forced to grow up too fast, that innocence stolen by forcing to kill or witnessing it. ]
She is.. [ He's quiet for a few moments before he glances back up at Bull. ]
I got to name her after she was born.. It was just me and dad, and we were having a hard time. I took care of her a lot, especially when we left the prison. Even though she was really heavy and I was tired, I had to have her with me, you know? Just had to make sure she was safe..
[ His heart went out to the kid, but it actually seemed like talking about something happy, even if it was sad in itself, was helping him, so he continued. ]
So...why Judith, then? Was she a...a knight? A saint? Something like that?
Nothing like that, no. It was the name of my first grade teacher. I just remember really liking it, and it didn't feel right naming her after anyone we'd lost..
She was my best friend after everything went down. She was Carol's daughter. She got lost. When we found her again, she'd been bitten. She'd already been turned.
[ He nods, pinning the picture of himself and Judith back in place before shimmying down the bed and under the covers. The bandages stay on, but that's mostly because there's company. ]
[ Bull totally understands not taking off those bandages. He still doesn't take off the eyepatch around most people, and that's been years.
He needed to get this kid a badass eyepatch. That was an idea, next time they were near a place to do it. He settles down next to the bed, leaning back against the frame. All in all, it wasn't that uncomfortable. Besides, he's slept in worse places. ]

It'll happen. People need organization. [ He looked over to Carl, though, and motioned toward the bed. ] But they also need sleep. You need to try.
