"That's terrible! I mean, good job... but what you guys went through..." Aarti exclaimed, still keeping her voice on the quieter side due to not wanting her and everyone else to be an infected's next meal.

"They make good stories though, so that's a bright side." She paused, "Well, unless one of you had actually died, then I guess the story wouldn't be so great because it would have involved a death and because you guys are siblings that'd make it even worse..." Aarti trailed off, wondering what she was saying.
She looked back at Alex, hoping that he'd forget his stupid anger and help her out, but she quickly dismissed the idea when she saw the dark, far away look in his eyes that were almost like little storm clouds that were ready to throw lightning at whoever tried to talk to him.
What was with him lately? Surely it wasn't just Max and Taylor who caused him to be like that...

"It's getting dark. We should set up beds." The blonde haired girl said, and Aarti was glad that she broke the silence.
"Good! It's almost Leo's bedtime anyway, he gets grumpy when he doesn't get his sleep." She said, smiling at the boy who hadn't said anything this whole time. He was the youngest in the group, Aarti loved to make fun of him for it.

Aarti then began pulling the sleeping bags from the backpack and zipping them together,
She layed them down on the tarp, hoping that that was what she was supposed to do.

"Are you sure you two are going to be okay sleeping on branches?" She asked, actually curious on whether or not Taylor and Max actually wanted to or not.
