Once the water purification project is complete, Tethys takes her turn washing up at one of the new taps with the rest of the work crew, then slings her backpack over one shoulder and rummages inside for the military ration packs she'd grabbed on her way out of camp this morning.
She's ravenous after several hours of heavy labor, but in spite of her grumbling stomach she doesn't settle down to eat by herself. Instead, she lets the currents of instinct guide her feet through the camp. It feels like a big, fractious village, not happy, but intimate in the way small settlements sometimes are.
As she wanders, she encounters one family or squad after another settling down for their evening meals among the tents and rundown structures, mostly cooked over open fires or small battery stoves. She roams slowly, stopping here and there to add part of her rations--not exactly delicious, but filling and nutritionally balanced for most humanoid mammals--to somebody's pot in exchange for a chat and a taste of whatever they're cooking. Thanks to the work this morning there's a lot of fish on the camp stoves tonight, which fortunately suits Tethys just fine.
After the better part of an hour, Tethys finds herself fairly full (perhaps not as full as she'd be if she'd just eaten the ration packs, but certainly more satisfied), still wandering the alleys of the camp, but with even less obvious purpose than before. Whatever she encounters next, it will be as the Force wills.
