bag over her shoulder, she's packing supplies to take hunting with her. looking over the supplies they still had whilst making sure not to take what wouldn't be necessary, what might slow her down. the cabin is mostly empty but the blonde spots the dark haired boy. her bright blue orbs flickering over to him a few times, then back again as he sits there helping with laundry. nat takes a few steps over, closing the distance between the two. she feels awkward trying to talk to him, eventually she manages to find her voice. "hey um, you could come with... if you want? probably more fun than this."

travis wasn't positive if she meant it sincerely, or it was another snide comment. he'd heard enough of those during this hell trip, stuck out here with a group of teenage girls. or maybe she meant it nicely. sincerely even. but travis didn't think before he spoke sometimes. ' good, because it's not like i have anywhere else to go out here ' way to go travis. way to sound like an absolute dick. his eyes diverted for a moment, focused on the snow and then back up to anna. fingers itching to do something, so he touches the cold of the zipper on his jacket. ' but thank you, if you meant that. sometimes it doesn't feel like i do enough. '

i'm pretty sure you're legally obligated to say this to me..... no but for real, i love you and thank you for this. thank you for letting me explore my girl with you so intimately 😭

with everyone now fully moved into the cabin and the group finally having a way to hunt for food. a responsibility that for now nat shouldered; everyone was doing their part. but every time she came back empty handed it felt like a disappointment, she felt like a disappointment. everyone always had something to say but it wasn't them out there trying. approaching the cabin, natalie saw the other blonde girl there. the two locking eyes for a moment before she spoke. "what no bitchy comment about the lack of food still being my fault?"
