[b]"Understood,"[/b] I couldn't help but grumble. This woman's sudden transition between hostility and understanding was making me irritated, and, so, small cracks of the irritation bled through. My mind kept drifting to my supplies, though - I needed them to survive. Without them, and being banished from the only habitable place I'd found, I'd die within weeks, for sure. There had to be something I could do; though I wasn't going to risk doing anything wrong whilst in the company of the men.
