Nope. I don’t think so. The rest of the day goes without event

Your sleep, for once, is uninterrupted, and you don’t wake up until late in the morning. As you stair out of your cot, you notice that both Scarlet and Alexandra have already left their sleeping arrangements. The room itself is already bustling with morning activity, so you decide to hit the bathroom before it’s swarmed.

When you’re finished getting cleaned up, you find the table that is occupied with your original companions and some of the newer acquaintances in your life, including Jordyn and Tiffany. Tiffany’s expression lights up when she sees you but doesn’t say anything when you sit down.

Scarlet shoots a glance since you sit down directly in front of her. Her expression is as quickly read as Tiffany’s, but you get in your head that she wants to talk to you for some reason; that doesn’t really settle with you, alright, but you don’t dare bring it up at the table. The energy is friendly, and whatever is on Scarlet’s mind would kill the mood, and maybe you.

Another breakfast is enjoyed, but instead of choosing what to do with yourself, Scarlet corners you and asks if you two can talk for a couple of minutes. When you respond with your own question, she glares at you, reminding you that you owe her at least a couple of minutes of your time.

Scarlet is more concerned with privacy, so you dress up and walk out to the entrance and out towards the wilderness. When she’s satisfied with the distance from the shelter, she exhales. Despite the relatively warm morning, she still creates a cloud with her breath.

“You know what this is about already, don’t you?” She begins.

“I suppose I might have an idea,” you confirm. “But, why don’t you tell me just to make sure.”

“About you drugging me,” she retorts. “But, there’s more to it. There’s been one thing I haven’t been able to shake off about the whole thing.”

She covers her face. “I can’t get that whole thing out of my mind. It’s tormenting me, and I hate it. I think I might even hate you.”

“I’m sorry you think that,” you say. “But, there’s nothing that is going to change that.”

“No,” Scarlet says. “There is something. I just don’t know if I can trust you or not.”

“What’s on your mind?”

“Jordyn told me she gave you a map of the area to use when we’re heading back. Give it to me.” Scarlet steps forward.

“I don’t keep the maps stuffed in my pocket, obviously.” You remark. “They’re all back near my cot. Why do you need them?”

Scarlet ignores your question entirely. “I’m going to talk to Jordyn for a few minutes. I’ll see you tonight though.”

You speak up, but she’s already walking off. You curse under your breath. Alexandra is seen a couple of times, but it looks like she’s mostly wandering around aimlessly. Tiffany is also spotted but seems to be busy with Tiger Cub things. You know Scarlet and Jordyn are busy, so now you’re left to do what you want to do again.
