As much as she might have preferred to wait until darkness had fallen to take her walk, she knew she couldn't afford to get caught alone by an enemy like Wood again. He had gotten very close to starting the odious task he'd been fantasizing about. She couldn't let him catch her alone again where there were no witnesses. Unless she had a companion to go walking with her, she had to resort to stepping outside of the tent only when other residents were out and about. They might run from her in terror, but at least they were potential witnesses to hopefully deter any would-be assassin.
