[Those words are murmured to herself as she notices her breath and feels the slight chill--the fact that she's just in the base uniform means that if it somehow gets any colder, there might be some problems, even if she might be used to that sort of weather thanks to being born and raised in a port city.
For the time being, she's going to preserve as much phone battery as she can -- although she's definitely going to be wary of touching things any more than she has to.

I don't mind sharing mine, either. While I'd prefer not to split up in a situation like this, it's better to prepare for the worst.
