Noon of Day 3
Jasper was hot, and tired. She used a hand to scrub a little grit from her face, and she glared out into the sun scorched, sandy land. At this point she was moving from stand of cacti to stand of cacti just to stay hydrated and keep looking for Arlo - whom she lost the tracks of in the middle of the night when a sandstorm blew up. Jasper had found shelter with some rocks. She didn't know if Arlo had found anything, and for all she knew he could be a slowly mummifying corpse in the hot, dry sand now. That wasn't news she wanted to bring back to camp.
She used a flat, sharp stone to split open a cactus and started drinking the disgustingly warm, sweet, nearly liquid down. After that, she found some shade that would last the entire rest of the day, and bedded down. Insects didn't bother her, and she could travel easier by night.
