Continued from hereJo slowed down a little, so she couldn't be said to be dragging him towards the Compound any more and changed her grip to thread her fingers through his, but loose enough so he could keep doing that

Johnny could feel his heart beat quicken when she threaded her fingers through is own. It had been so long since anybody had taken his hand, let alone entwining their fingers with his, and now that he had somebody doing this, he realized just how much he'd missed it. He gently squeezed her fingers before continuing to rub his thumb over the inside of her hand.
"I dun' mind the messy part-- I seen things so messy, they'd probably make ya faint." He winked at her.
She squeezed his fingers back. It was a nice hand, as far as she could tell through the mud. "I bet I wouldn't. I'm tougher than I look." She gave him a look that said 'don't mess with me' although it was ruined when she grinned and added, "It's not as if I've got any dead bodies hidden in there or anything. I mean, that's the first place they'd look."
Johnny snorted and remarked, "Well, that's good-- I think I seen enough dead bodies for a lifetime, an' I dun' really wanna see one ever again."
The thought of his friends' dead bodies was still too fresh and hurt way too much to even continue. Even though it took him several tries, Johnny directed his attention back to Jo and her fingers that were still entwined with his.
"Neither do I." Unless they were the Master. But the conversation was getting far too maudlin and she turned to Johnny with a frown. "If you only have those clothes what are you going to wear this evening? I like a man in uniform but I don't think they're allowed tonight."
