It had been dangerous, yes, but she was bored and she needed the walk and she needed time to think. Not to mention, she wanted to see if she could get more food in the kitchen - only to realize, with horror, that the food had gone bad. All of it. even the water was... she didn't want to think about it. She opened a faucet and maggots came out.

Courtney was a practical girl, and she knew that things like that shouldn't bug her, but somehow it unnerved her. This house was trying to do a lot of that, she noticed, and not blatantly by shoving monsters down her throat every second. She had a sudden urge to go back to bed, hide a little longer, keep track of the food that she still had left.

She heard something... eating in her room. Chewing noises. Slowly, she crept towards the open door, on tip-toes now, unsure of what to do when she saw whatever was in there. Peeking in, she saw that it was...

A girl. A girl dressed as a nun. Eating her stash.Quietly, she snuck up on the girl, hands on her hips, glaring down at her. She made her ( ... )

Rosette, admittedly, probably took a bit more than she needed - but she was hungry, could you blame her? She made sure there was a lot left, anyway...

She froze when she heard someone behind her, before spinning around as she swallowed something, staring at the young girl in front of her. Well, judging by the look she was getting...she was the owner of this food.

Rosette let out a nervous (and possibly slightly obnoxious) laugh, instinctively tucking the food behind her back.

"Hey there!" she said, acting (and failing at it) like she hadn't done anything wrong, or been caught in the act of taking the other girl's food. Hopefully she would understand, if explained to, but it was awkward either way.

"Hey," Courtney replied with a deepening scowl. "Enjoying the food? The stuff I carried here by myself?" She realized there wasn't much she could do by way of intimidating the girl - nun or not, she could probably take her out with no problem - but the house had done wonders for destroying her survival instinct with its frustrating entrapment. She almost wanted the girl to try something... clock her in the temple, throw her into oblivion for a while. It was better than monotonous waiting.

Finally, after glaring at her for a few moment,s she turned away, going towards the bed. "Whatever. Take what you want and get out of here. I'm too tired to deal with you, anyway."

Rosette was quiet for a moment as she listened to everything the younger girl had to say, the mock cheerfulness that had been in her expression just moments before falling away into something much more serious, possibly even the slightest bit annoyed; obviously the girl's attitude wasn't much appreciated, and Rosette wasn't quite willing to admit she deserved it. "Look," she said, watching her and straightening up. "I didn't have much choice, okay?"

She shook her head, and shrugged, finishing off the bit of food that she'd been eating just before the girl's arrival. "I'll make it up to you, somehow, if I have to, but..."

She shook her head again, and dusted her dress off a little bit, before moving to draw her gun, obviously preparing to leave, as asked. If she needed more food later on, she could always look elsewhere. Surely there had to be something in the house.

Her back turned to the girl, Courtney threw up her hands. "Fine! Whatever. You were starving, I get it!" She glared at the nun over her shoulder. "I don't even know if I have enough for the night. I've been rationing the stuff. Someone already took a bunch of it, anyway." She folded her arms, before turning around and sitting down on the bed.

Watching the girl from the bed, she waved off the promise with one hand, sullen as ever. "No you won't. I don't care, anyway. Unless you can get me out of this place, you don't really have much to offer, do you?" She was doing what she always did when she'd been stirred up into a whirlpool of stress and frustration - yell and lash out at people. "Why the heck do you have a gun, anyway?" she demanded, eyeing the girl. "You're wearing a nun habit. What are you, a member of the Starving Gun-Nuts for Jesus?"
