Clarisse sits back on her heels and watches Abby as she blinks the sleep from her eyes and props herself up on one elbow. As soon as it seems like Abby is coherent, she continues, "Did she wake you up? Did you see her leave?"
The tone of her voice is accusatory and impatient, but not Clarisse's usual waspishness sparked from embarrassment or hunger or boredom. She sounds like someone who's snapping at their kid because they ran into the road and almost got run over and now they don't know what to do with all the adrenaline shot through them.
The tent isn't that big, that's all. Not with three people sharing it. There's room for their bedrolls and some of their stuff and not really any free space, and she's been sleeping in the middle so it's not as awkward for any of them, and it's weird that she wouldn't have woken up when Ellie basically climbed over her to leave the tent. One of them would have woken up, surely. If not her, Abby.

So.
