98.When Danger Peeks

We moved through the forest, choosing to send signals to one another instead of being verbal about it. To make the work of carrying the pack of food easier on the two guys carrying it, we decided to split the food and drink items into the survival kits of everyone.

I noticed that the boys put less stuff into my bag than they put in theirs and I frowned, wondering if they wanted me to starve or thought that I wouldn't be able to eat much since I was a lady. I didn't want to think too much of it and be petty - after all, we were all going to be together - but I couldn't help my curiosity.

I was about to open my mouth to speak when I remembered that I couldn't do so. I searched through my bag and found a pen and a jotter, grateful that I had brought them with me. I had decided to bring them along with me so I could make notes of the books I read or make some sketches when I got bored. It was good to know that it was going to come in handy.

Why are you not putting more food in my bag?
