"I can't believe you've done this," Claudia muttered as she followed closely behind Tom's back. Ever since the waking-up incident, she refused to match steps with him, instead opting to walk right behind him.
"We overslept," Tom said in the same, monotone voice as countless times before. "We can't waste time like that," he added, refusing to elaborate any further.
"What harm would an hour or two of shopping do?" Claudia asked, unwilling to drop the topic yet. Even though she continued to nag Tom about this for the past fewteen minutes, even though Tom's answer didn't change at all, she couldn't just give it up like that. "Wasn't that a great opportunity to learn what kind of equipment one can buy in this place? Maybe even learn something that would force us to return home posthaste?" she continued to speak, finding new and creative ways to put the shopping as an actual worthy way of using their time.
