Rachel keeps silent. But, perhaps there will be something left there. Certainly it wasn't Rachel's first destination- perhaps her new companion was on to something when she suggested it.
The pair walk, the morning bringing nothing more than early light, singing birds, and a little haze. There don't seem to be any infected wandering about. Not very surprising, since the area out here is mostly devoid of homes and thus life.
They reach the castle that is Medieval Times, the sun still low in the morning sky. A few infected meander around the perimeter of building, so the two stop and consider their actions. "If there are some outside, there are surly more inside. Do we use stealth, or should we just take them all out?"

Rachel nods, and hands over her katana. "You can borrow it until we get you your own." Rachel makes her way toward the building, using cars abandoned in the parking lot for cover. She draws an arrow and loads her bow, then stands from her crouch just long enough to take out one of the five infected shuffling around the door, and then quickly crouches back into her cover. She peeks over the hood of the car carefully. The infected are agitated but don't seem to know her location yet. Good. If she can take out another two, she and Adriadne can make their way closer.
Rachel reloads, and then raises from her crouch after a minute, taking out another of the infected, before crouching down again. While the infected still don't seem to realize the source, they're highly active now. Another shot would surly alert them to her location.

Rachel's mind is racing, but she comes up with a plan she hopes will work. She draws and loads another arrow, and stares at Ariadne for a moment. She hopes her companion will get the hint.
Rachel stands and fires another arrow. The infected clearly see her this time, but she manages to take one out as they make their charge. Only two left. Will Ariadne be able to take out the last two at once?
Rachel fumbles for another arrow, but the infected are nearly upon them.

But Rachel stops her just in time. "The infection only spreads from bites and spores. A scratch like that will be ok, unless they had spores under their nails. But I doubt it. They seem like they were in the early stages, so you should be ok."
((Have you played The Last of Us? The infection comes from a cordyceps fungus, so we're using that style of zombie. We'll probably want to find gas masks))

Rachel nods and the two quickly make their way to the castle. They pause at the door, listening. It is occupied, and there seems to be a strange mist hanging in the air. But it's not too heavy... yet, and to be fair the two don't really know what it is. Better safe than sorry, though, and Rachel lifts her shirt so the collar covers her nose and mouth, and creeps inside.
