[b]Myriah - Outpost - Council Members[/b]

When she had heard that someone had been sneaking around last night, Myriah was sure it was little more than a case of paranoia. Ever since the mutiny, leaving the cabins and tents at night had become taboo. People were just afraid of what others might think-- what others might [i]do[/i]. Despite this, it was still never a rule and Myriah herself had no issue with people going out at night. She probably should have been the most wary, considering it was [i]her[/i] life that had been in danger, but that didn't seem to matter to anyone.

She walked into the office expecting Samantha to explain that this was all a misunderstanding and that all she was doing last night was going out for a walk. Unfortunately for the girl, she was a nervous wreck. She couldn't look either Rhonda or Myriah in the eye and stumbled over her explanations. Even after they explained to Samantha that she hadn't actually been caught breaking any rules, she still acted as if there was something she was hiding. After a brief discussion with Rhonda and a few of the other council members, they decided there was nothing they could do beyond possibly keep an eye on Samantha. For all they knew she had been simply sneaking out to meet with a boy.

"Is everything all right in your cabin, Samantha?" Myriah asked when they were out of the office. 

Samantha looked puzzled before shaking her head. "No, why would there be?"

Myriah let out a small sigh and adjusted her glasses. Her eyes studied Samantha, looking for some sort of sign. She found herself worrying about the girl now. "Do you maybe want to stay in my cabin for the night?"

Slowly, Samantha nodded. "Sure."

Myriah smiled and placed a hand on Samantha's back, ushering her forward. "Then how about you and I hang out for the day? I have to some errands." Although Samantha looked nervous about it, she went along with Myriah. Perhaps if the day went well, Myriah figured she could get to the bottom of all this.
