[And this is where Daryl gets just a little defensive of them despite himself. They're part of the group and it comes naturally once he's accepted someone as such.
His tone calms down in the next moment because getting frustrated at her would do shit all for any of them.]
[They both know, or at least she knows, she meant they are people. Words like like just happen to be a habit in speech that caused it to sound another way.]

[And yeah. She feels more apart of the group so this's her letting him where she is in case. Give her a week or two, and she'll be like the cat that came back. More open to getting to know them than she is right now.
As that seems to be the end of it, though, she breathes out lightly on her end giving a final word, him a chance to say anything if he wants, and then clicks to end the call.] Talk to you later.
[He really hoped his short response would hide the hurt that came from her calling the other place she lived 'home' instead the house. He couldn't push her, though. The two of them, they were pretty alike in that respect.]
[What he doesn't know, is that both places are as good as home to her. Just for right now, though, the one place where she was alone was less complicated to her. And she was definitely still figuring out how she fit in to his group and how his place should be her only home, on top of all this.
