She sighs and shrugs at his response, finishing her cigarette along the way but not bothering to try and make any more conversation. He doesn't seem to be interested in talking at the moment, which suits her just fine because she's way too unnerved by this entire experience and her thoughts keep spiraling in really uncomfortable directions. The empty houses remind her of...something. Something she can't quite remember and isn't sure she wants to remember.
But the forest. Oh god, the forest is something else altogether. She remembers the way that Cooper sounded when he was in Washington. Talking endlessly about the damn trees like he'd never seen anything so beautiful in his life. At least until the Lodge. Until he found whatever it was in those woods that turned him into something she couldn't even recognize.
She's chilled to the bone and it has nothing to do with the temperature.
"How much have you explored already," she asks in a hushed tone. Loud voices would seem wrong somehow in these woods. "Is everywhere this...creepy?"
