//The Hawkins Reception. May 9th.

With her short hair slicked back and barely any makeup on, Elby still served that million-dollar look. A baby-blue ribbon bracelet complemented her all-gold look, but despite its purpose, she had none of that "I'm single!" energy. Of course, Elby's demeanor was cheerful and friendly as usual, and, if anything, she only seemed more carefree when she spotted Grayson. Maybe because he was the one to thank for that, at least to some degree.

At first, she didn't say anything and took her time deciding whether she should approach him right now. Whether she should approach him at all. Sipping on her champagne with that effortlessly charming smile, Elby just arched a brow in a silent invitation for him to walk over. She couldn't get herself into trouble if the trouble came to her, right?

//unnamed (?) forest in California, Elby & Gray's hike.

If she wasn't sure how much of a surprise it was for Grayson that she could set up a tent or make a bonfire without matches, well... Now she knew. Somehow, the whole survival expert thing had escaped his attention, so when she invited him for a hike, this wasn't what he had expected. Elby wasn't showing off or trying to prove a point; she was just enjoying their time off-grid and trying to make as much content for her channel as possible. This was the only time when she reached for something exotic, like a phone or a tripod.

"See, there are many methods you can use here; a bottle with layered filtering materials, a multi-bucket gravity system, or you can even use a clean cloth if that's all you can find in your bag," she spoke to the camera, presenting the method she had picked for this video. A few containers were secured to a tree, with water slowly dripping from each of them, filling the mug on the ground with clear water. "Of course, I highly recommend boiling the filtered water; we won't be discussing bushcraft toilets until... two more videos, I think." Elby chuckled and stopped recording when she noticed Grayson coming back to their camp, wondering how much he had heard.

"Are you sure you don't wanna film something together? Come on, you would attract more female subscribers!"
