"And give you more time to work on your drawing."
"Good point." he agreed, extending his hand and offering her a piece of mango. "Although I'm not entirely sure how many times I can draw the inside of this tent..."

"Thanks," she said, accepting the mango. "What about this photographic memory of yours? I thought you could draw anyone once you'd seen them," she reminded him with a wry smile. "Of course, we could open up the flap on your shelter. Give you a view of the outside world...."

"Of course, we could open up the flap on your shelter. Give you a view of the outside world...."
"That sounds good." he said. "Hopefully I won't turn into a grotesque parody of a human being, bed-ridden and using a stick to open my flap every now and then..."

"Nope, not on my watch," she asserted. "Besides, the role of reclusive hermit's already been filled by Walter." She got to her feet and folded the flap of the tent's entrance back, letting in the ocean breeze. "Have you noticed he doesn't seem daunted by this place at all? I suppose he's lived long enough to see worse," she shrugged, taking her seat again.

"Have you noticed he doesn't seem daunted by this place at all? I suppose he's lived long enough to see worse,"
"If it's worse than crash-landing on a remote island, I'm not entirely sure I want to know." he commented. "Oh, and the photographic memory applies mainly to what I've already drawn. So I could try and draw several of your pictures. Perhaps send one to Ruby with your signature on it...."

"The world really doesn't need more pictures of me," she said. "And Ruby would probably place it on a dartboard or a voodoo doll, so...bad idea."

"And Ruby would probably place it on a dartboard or a voodoo doll, so...bad idea."
"Perhaps a good idea would be to draw a picture of Ruby, for you to use as a dartboard or voodoo doll." he suggested casually. "Am I being un-necessarily cruel?"

"No, I think you're being adequately cruel," she remarked. "I'm really not sure why the girl's got it into her head that I'm...evil incarnate. I'd say that she's been talking to Ana, but even Ana and I managed to find some common ground. Do you think she's preparing another search party as we speak?" she asked.

"I don't understand her reasoning either." he shrugged with a small sigh. "As for Ana, I think she might be. She'll have even more difficulty getting volunteers than before, though."

***Heidi enters from G3 - Area of Survivor's Camp***
HEIDI
I ignored little Sarah's smart ass reply and, not forgetting my manners, asked permission to enter. "Severin? Can I come in? I'm looking for Gwen."

"You found her," she replied to Heidi. "Please, come in."

I entered and smiled at both with a quick 'hi' before looking back to Gwen with a pleading expression. "Gwen, can I ask you a huge favor?"

He gave Heidi a greeting smile as she entered, and then kept quiet to hear what she had to say.

"Well, I was with the group heading out to get water and had to run back because little Sarah showed up. She'd followed us. It's not safe for her to go because I can't keep an eye on her." Man, I sucked at asking for favors. Just get to the point, I told myself. "I was wondering if you could watch Sarah for me? Make sure she doesn't get into any trouble and doesn't try to follow again?"

"Of course," she replied, then gave her reply a second thought after the exclamation from outside. She exchanged glances with Severin, doubting that he'd want a precocious eight-year-old around while trying to rest. If Sarah got too out-of-hand, she could always take her elsewhere.
"Thank you for helping with the water collection. We'll take care of Sarah," she said.

"I was wondering if you could watch Sarah for me? Make sure she doesn't get into any trouble and doesn't try to follow again?"
"I DON'T NEED A BABYSITTER!"
The loud screech from outside stung his ears. He exchanged a glance with Gwen.
Oh, bollocks.
"Thank you for helping with the water collection. We'll take care of Sarah,"
"Yes, certainly." he agreed, giving his best encouraging smile.

I cringed as little Sarah yelled from outside. "Thank you so much. She's, uh, in a snappy mood today." As if they didn't notice. This was going to be a tough task for Gwen but if I didn't go on this trek, I would start getting bitchy too from sitting around doing nothing. "I owe you, big time. Any time you need something--laundry, food, whatever--just ask."

"I'll hold you to that," she smiled, only half-joking. "And be careful out there in the jungle."
