Trio by the gate

"I think we no longer need to fear the night battle!" Daria's words came out of nowhere. Yet, for how obvious they were, it took everyone in the group far longer than they should realize.

"Oh right, you get stronger when in shadows!" Mathew called out, shooting his hand up only to smack his face with it. "How could I miss that?"

Mathew's words formed a question, yet no one was expected to give it any answer. It was just Mathew's whine against the world that gifted him with such inferior intelligence.

'Or is it that simple?' he then thought, lowering his eyes and killing his excitement for the sake of coldly analyzing the situation.

"Dear, it is true that you might turn the scales of the conflict on our side," Mathew admitted, only to shake his head. "But I wouldn't say that fighting during the night turned out into something we are good at. We can't rely on you to kill the entire zombie army after all," he elaborated on his way of thinking.
