[ Zack's been out on a supply run since very early that morning- earlier than Al, himself, had awoken. The store's not too far from where they are, too. Which makes for a fairly quick trip there and back. He needs to be quick anyway. They'd all done their run the other day and designated a time for them all to pack up and leave. And while he doubts they'd just leave him, he knows there's a lot of ground to cover. The sooner they set out, the better.
Of course, then, he would expect to have company on his way back to the house they'd all shacked up in for the night. He just... certainly didn't expect a young boy standing at its threshold, testing his foot in the snow and looking absolutely thrilled by it. ...Never mind the boy's buck-ass naked and looks like he hasn't seen a meal in ages. And that's what ultimately gets him darting forward- what the heck is going on here? ] Hey! Are you crazy? You're gonna freeze out here!
Bullshit assumption that Zack's actually friggin' around!!
