"Well, you never gotta worry about that. Not with Daryl," she says with a little laugh, rubbing her hand over her face. "He's one of the best people I know and he..." She trails off a little and shakes her head, because she isn't even sure if she knows how to explain it, how to tell him just how good Daryl really is. How hard he tries, the things he's done for her and how much he's changed. Not that he's forced himself to change for her or for anyone, really, not since Merle. But he's allowed himself to be who he really is, who he wants to be, and Beth thinks that's a brave thing. It takes a lot of courage to get out from under men like Merle and their father.
"You never gotta worry about it," she says again and leaves it at that. She knows if she wanted to, she could take advantage of Daryl in a lot of ways, she could have him do just about anything she wants, so she's always very careful not to do that. It's not in her nature anyway, she isn't worried, but she knows just how much he loves her and the lengths he'd be willing to go for her. She isn't ever going to abuse that, she's going to make sure of it.
"So she's centuries older, huh?" she asks a moment later, looking over at Kili. "She kinda looks like... like she's no older than my sister." Older than Beth, certainly, but not by much, and no older than Maggie. Of course, Kili looks the same, somewhere in his early to mid twenties, and she knows he's much, much older than that. Sometimes she wonders what that's like, how it might feel to be that old and still know he's so young. There's so much ahead for him still, but for a person his age, they're nearing the end of their life. There must be so much more to learn, so much to see and do.
