When Chang Ming acknowledged her rather forward move, she merely began to stroke the lock of hair that rested on her shoulder before nodding gently as well. It was clear that she was rather upset of her sudden forwardness and it barely helped when he began to fiddle with his camera. She practically died of complete embarrassment and because of that, she was just about ready to cry as well. However, she took every ounce of dignity she had within her to restrain herself from doing such a childish act, especially in front of people who seemed to be around her age. She was going to be a legal adult soon and she didn't need people to think of her any lower than a young lady.
Sighing heavily--releasing some of her frustration--Meiling then turned to the two teenagers who called themselves Miyako and Bai. This Bai person was actually taking this whole situation rather cheerfully. Which was a complete surprise to her, but hey... She knew it wasn't healthy for an entire group of people to feel lost and confused... And angry. She really couldn't help but smile almost secretly when this Bai person actually asked Miyako out on a date. Now that was a complete surprise to her! Talk about charisma! she couldn't help but mentally compliment him. However, he was immediately turned down... Well, Meiling couldn't blame her. Even if this Miyako girl was also taking this situation rather smoothly. And as Miyako stomped over to the tree she once occupied, the girl merely took a step to the side and allowed her to sit at the base.
"Well, seeing as none of us have any answers to our predicament," she spoke up, loud enough for everyone to hear. She was actually taking into Luke's consideration about questioning some townsfolk. Perhaps they knew... Who knows, "As Luke suggested, we should question the villagers. Someone's bound to tell us sooner or later what's going on and why we're here."
And again, she was playing with her hair, "Do you think it'll be wise to split up? We can cover more ground that way..."
