[ The least she could do after watching her boyfriend's murder and being chased through the woods by almost a dozen screaming teenagers with torches? Oh, Hannah. Melissa sputters a laugh. ]
Actually you would have been well within your rights to let me bleed out, but I'm glad you didn't do that. And, yeah, we did awesome today. Everyone will be happy.
[ Maybe Shauna will even chill out for the evening, instead of sitting and giving them that cagey look she wears almost constantly now. Mel holds up her other hand for a high five. ]
[ No, see, you guys are all just kids, and you've been through hell, and Hannah gets that, in her own way, so really, she can't blame anyone for what happened to Edwin, except herself for not listening to him. ]
Do you want to head back now? The sun's starting to get low.
[ They're not far enough from camp that they can't spare another hour out here, but Hannah would rather rejoin the group when there's enough light to see if anyone's holding a weapon with imminent murderous intent. ]
[ Melissa casts a glance over her shoulder. It's hard to see the sun's position through the tree cover, but the light has definitely changed while they've been out here. Similar to what Hannah's thinking, though she doesn't know it, Melissa wants to be back at camp before it gets too dark.
She doesn't really, like, believe in It or anything, but the woods are fucking creepy when it starts getting dark even when the trees aren't screaming. ]
Yeah, we should. [ She gets to her feet and dusts herself off with one hand before slinging the bag of berries over her good shoulder again. Ready to go. ]
Thanks again... for... offering to help with my arm, [ Mel says quietly as they head off. ]

It was the least I could do. And so is doing PT with you.
[ Especially since she's playing along with Shauna, acting as an enforcer until it's safe to go off on her own and find help. ]
We got a pretty good haul today. Things aren't looking too bad.
