“Yeah?” Juniper was quite relieved that Piper didn’t turn down the opportunity to travel with her to the camp. It would’ve been stupid for her to not go, at least Juniper thought so. Piper, in her eyes, was lucky to have lasted so long on her own in a world like this, and there was no telling how much longer she could’ve continued to survive on her own. The camp would be safer, and food would be consistent, and medicines were available. Piper deserved the “break,” and the socialization with other people who aren’t Infected.
Juniper watched when the blonde girl had kindly offered her own water back to her. While she still fully thought that Piper needed the water more than her, she decided that a little sip would be fine. “Mhm.” Juniper hummed with a nod in confirmation. She tilted her head back to take a sip of the water from the canteen, holding it out for Piper once more. “A lot of the people who come to the camp either found it, or we found them like I found you. We’ve never had any issues with people causing harm to others since Andrew — the man who runs the camp — he’s super strict on kindness to our own.” She explained, hoping that it gave the girl more comfort about seeing others again.
“I’m leaving at dawn after I get some sleep. I’ll wake you if you’re asleep too - and you should try to get rest. Takes a couple of hours to get to camp from this place.” Juniper gave her little plan, along with the simple suggestion of resting before their early morning hike.
It was hard to tell exactly, but Piper began to assume the other was around her age. So if she was able to trust and live among four hundred other people, maybe Piper would be okay, too. She smiled lightly again as she was offered the canteen, and she took another gulp of water. It tasted far better than the dirty water she’s been drinking as she could find it. “It’ll be nice to meet to Andrew,” she decided aloud, committing the name to memory. Andrew and... Her brows furrowed: she didn’t know the other’s name quiet yet.
Piper blinked as she told her the plan. “Ah, I guess it’ll be safer than traveling while it’s dark,” she agreed, looking out the door they had entered. She wasn’t sure how well she would sleep, if at all. Part of her was exhausted after barely surviving for the last several days, but another part of her was re-energized by the food and the prospect of living among a society again. Worst case would be that she doesn’t sleep, and at least one of them is awake to keep watch.
“I’m Piper, by the way,” she added, glancing back to the other.
