They didn't head to the camp with other survivors. Mark had decided to carry Anna until he could not do so anymore as they traveled. They all just wanted to get as far away from Julia's corpse. None of them talked about it for almost the whole time.
"Let's set up camp." (Justin)
Mark had set Anna down, but as soon as she moved to stand up, she felt Greyson's hands on her shoulders, forcing her to sit back down.
"Anna, we can handle setting up the camp and making food tonight." (Greyson)
"You're not the one with all the food and ingredients." (Anna)
"Well, may I have some then?" (Greyson)
Anna relented and handed them some of the food as the others forced Anna to stay where she was. She brought out the leather work she was doing to work on the skins she was trying to dry. Putting on rubber gloves, she started to rub the mash of material onto the leather before scraping along it to make it smear on the skin evenly. The others almost stopped her from doing anything due to her prior injury.
"I'm nearly fully healed, you don't have to baby me." (Anna)
Anna pointed to the hole in her bloody pants where her leg was healed with a jagged scar that was already fading. As she stood and moved around. Although showing off her bloody pants that were soaked through with blood, Anna shook her head while sighing. Seeing their guilty looks in response to knowing that it was from her injury that the pants were soaked.
"You know what, I'm going to change my clothes, probably burn these pants." (Anna)
Being covered in blood, Anna started cleaning herself when she went into her tent, some blood coating its sides, making Anna gag as she tossed everything together. Once she cleaned herself off with a wipe, she started to run low on the scented wipes, making her frown in annoyance. She hated to know that soon she won't be able to keep herself as clean as she had been, as she had yet to find a solution for fresh water other than water bottles to reduce the likelihood of disease. Anna stepped out of her tent and broke it down the opposite way she had seen the others put it together.
Justin and Kyle were both flattening the area with their Auto build skill. Now that Anna thought about it, she hadn't noticed it when she was scrolling through her skills and abilities.
"Maybe it's under a different category?"
[Dungeon Granted:

"So it is under a different category compared to everything else." (Anna)
Anna mumbled that to herself before collapsing the tent and throwing all the other bloody items and garbage into the pile. Before she could even move it to a separate area to burn, Kyle stopped helping Justin, grabbed Anna's garbage, and walked away, making her feel like her brain was short-circuited. Honestly, she could handle herself and take care of her trash like she had been, but now everyone keeps stopping her from doing what she has been doing, which makes her feel anxious and stressed. All of this made her mutter.
"Damn autism and the need for patterns." (Anna)
Anna walked to the leather area but grabbed bones from her storage as she messed with her crafting kit. With small motions, she started to work on the bones. With the crafting kit, she learned that she could make bone armor with the crafting kit. She had begun to save the bones. She cannot manipulate metal yet as she has not yet earned a crafting skill; she focused on whittling the bones.
