Lucille couldn't help the small smile that appeared on her lips at the words that fell from Negan's lips. If she was winning this argument, perhaps there was still hope for them to... she didn't even know at this point. The world was so different, she certainly couldn't bare any children because she had seen second hand what that did to Rick's family. It gave him a baby daughter but took his wife and Carl, it gave him a sister and took his mother. Was the loss worth the gain?
She was quiet as the two conversed, about to open her mouth when Negan reached for his bat. Her eyes narrowed as she began to lift out of her seat. "If you hurt any of them, I leave with them," Lucille said against her better judgment. She tilted her head to the side, watching both of their reactions.
"They are already hurting for food and supplies, that's what this is about," Lucille started, unsure of how successful she could possibly be. Negan was a changed man and even before, he had been so damn stubborn. But then, so had she and her stubbornness hadn't faded in the least bit.
Lucille stepped forward so that she could stand beside Negan, the doubt only growing as she looked between the men. "Give them double the time, at least. Let them amass supplies so that they can both survive and pay you your stupid ass tribute," she paused, her face scrunching at the word. "They won't attack us, you don't attack them for that time period and when it comes time to collect, you be a little more reasonable with them because, if I need to remind you again, they are my family. Which," she paused, her eyes going a little wide as she looked between the two.
"We could always work together."
