He heard her words and smirked, yet did not say anything thinking if he did it might get he slapped or worse. He looked at her "I did not just walk up to you to start, if we are honest" He looked at her "As for a price, I do not want anything, to tell you how to read a map.
Even if those you have dealt with have asked you for something. I am one of my word I am offering to tell you how to read a map, no stings attached, not price paid" He looked at her if she again asked him what his price was he would think of something yet nothing came to mind.

"Whatever, but you scared the crap out of me and especially during these days. That's not a good idea, your lucky I have self control otherwise I'd shoot you in the head and steal your shit." She said that with a sickly sweet smile. Mel than pulled out the map she'd stuffed in her pocket, "Now look, if your one of those guys that says he doesn't have one and than pulls up a price later. I will shoot your ass and leave your for the dead, understand?"
Usually the people Mel had run into asked for something in return for help and half of the time they went back on their word, or if they didn't depending on the price they had she usually just killed them and moved on. She hadn't run into anyone since she'd joined Terminus, which was good for her since it kept her on her toes. She wasn't the person to mess with if anyone did try to fuck up her plans on getting food to Terminus. She would keep her promise of killing him if Robert did try to pull anything over her eyes.

"I did not mean to scare you yet, not like I could just walk up to you ether" He chuckled lightly with her last words not that he did not think she would not do it just she appered to be willing to shot him where ever she could it "I understand clearly, of course I am pleased it is my ass you will shot in place of my face" He knew she did not mean it that way yet, he could not pass up saying it.
Also he knew that being shot in the ass could be worse depending on where he was yet in many places he would bleed to death or something would eat him alive. He looked at the mape she had before he spoke "So what issues exactly are you having with reading the map?" He thought it best for her to say them him going into the we are here and all that unless that was her issue.

"True." She shrugged, "I probably would've shot you on sight." Sometimes her fear overrides her state of mind, so it would've been easy for her to pull the trigger.
"Oh hurr hurr, Fuckin smartass." She rolled her eyes and threw the map at him. "I'm looking for the closest town from this area right now, there's so many fucking places on that map I can't tell where exactly I am and where exactly to go. Plus I can't tell north from south or east from west." She crossed her arms, her city girl colors showed every now and than. This is one of those times she wished she wasn't a city-girl. A GPS would've been nice to gave...but with the whole Apocalypse thing a GPS was the last thing she'd bother looking for.

He heard her words her first he said nothing to yet with her questions he spoke "Where are about here" He pointed to a spot on the map"The next town is to the East and that would be that way he moved to point east you can tell the directions by the sun for it always rises in the east and sets in the west so if during the early day you are heading for the sun you are going east away is west the sun on your right left side would be north and no sun on you right would be South" He looked at her "Each one of these squares is so many miles and you can use knowing the miles with you direction you are walking to figure out when to turn a direction to be more pointed for where you are headed" Stopping their he spoke "Does that help any?" That was the best of map reading and using.

"Jesus, are you the fucking map wizard?" She was surprised he knew all that, but she was glad he knew all he did. "But yeah, thanks. That helps." She took the map from him and examined it.
"Alrighty than, thanks to you I'll be able to do my run and get back the fuck home before dusk." She gave him a polite smile, but it still held that 'I hate you' factor to it. "When the sun rises it's east, when it sets it's west and North and South are in-between the two. Ya?" She wanted to make sure she got it correctly before moving on. Last thing she wanted was to get lost because of miss directions. Melody was though indeed grateful for what help she received from Robert.

He smirked at her words "I would not say wizard just one that like you had to learn to read it" He was glad that she got it, with her last words he figured their ways would part yet at her words he looked at her "In smple terms yes" After all it was the basics of the map reading with using the sun and one only hand to use the sun as it moved to know what why they where going. With a last glance he spoke "Be safe where ever you travel" With that Robert moved to leave, unless Melody stopped him it was clear she wanted to get home or where she was going and he could not say it was a bad idea to get back to the prison. Perhaps he would find some food on his way back or something else that could be useful.

Mel snorted at his comment, he wasn't stupid that's for sure. She took her map and folded it back up before stuffing it in her pocket. "Alright, Goody." She was glad she knew exactly where to go now and hopefully get much needed food back to her group. She watched as he turned away but just before he walked off she spoke.
"Oy! Oldman." She held up a hand and kneeled, taking off her backpack and digging around. She pulled out a small package of essentials and tossed it too him.
It included a few small water bottles, canned food (A can of tuna and peaches.) [Again with the peaches...] toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, pocket knife, matches, a mini flashlight, batteries, bandages and pain pills. "I was told to give that to anyone I crossed. Plus it wouldn't feel right if I didn't repay you." She gave a half smirk/smile and zipped up her backpack swinging it over her shoulders. She turned and marched off east in hope of finding something for her ahead.

He heard her words with her words of calling out for him he stopped turning to look at her as she tossed the packs at him he grabbed them on reflex he looked at her words as he said "Thanks" Yet he could just watched as she moved to leave, he pulled off his bag zipping it open before putting the small package in it before heading back off heading for the prison and keep a look out for anything they coud use other wise. Thiers was no saying if their paths would cross again yet one never knew, on his way back he did find a few other things that he could use as well a the things he would see if others needed.
