Post-War: Free & Chained | NBnotTesla | 10

Rita's eyes widen and she starts to blush from your direct statement. She accidently drops your fork in the dirt and stares at it while she responds.

"I'm sorry!"
"Ramens gone anyway...we ate it all" You slurp the last of the broth and noodle debris.

Rita is still apologetic.

"I didn't mean to do either of those things honest! I was just really relaxed and I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing!" She speaking vaugely too adress both issues while avoiding the awkward one.

"I'll take the dishes for you! Look how late it is wow!" she checks the clockwork watch your father made her last week. "Amost 9:30! Time sure just flies by when you're having fun huh?" She re-examines the situation and her last rhetort. "I'm going to bed. You should too! Not with me though...I don't mean it like that I just...good night." She's done.

You have gaurd duty in the camp tonight. Your parents get the master room in the RV and you and your sisters cycle through the bunks next to the cab. The one sleeping in the bottom bunk takes the tent the next night. You get to take a small heater with you but it's rather old and runs on batteries, and although you are wealthy in spares you are encuraged to use it sparingly.

Sleep?

          With the heater off. You got blankets, a sleeping bag, a sweatshirt and loose sweats.
