The woman had caught his eye again, and this time, he could see the real concern on her face. The other woman...Ana-Lucia...was a little insistant, and he was worried she was going to do something she didn't want to do.
He quickly jogged over to them. "Excuse me." he said, looking more at the other woman then at Ana. "I'm helping with the firewood, there's a large piece I found near the outskirts. Would you mind helpin' me out for a little?"

Elliot walked over to the three people, they seemed friendly enough. Well, two of them did. She mentally made the sign of the cross and approached them. "Hey, some people down by the shore wanted to get a fire going...but we're not quite sure what's going on."

The way she'd cut in and the tone of her voice made me think she was disappointed and I didn't like people being disappointed in me. I was about to stubbornly insist on helping clear the beach but someone, thankfully, stopped me from doing it.
"Sure," I said with a thankful smile as I craned my neck to look up at the tall guy.
I looked over toward another new arrival to the conversation and gave a friendly smile. "There was a lady who'd asked everyone to pitch in with firewood so I think we'll have plenty of fires going soon."

"Whatever you can find, bring it over to the fuselage. We'll build up the fire once we're sure we've cleared the beach." With that, Ana moved onto the next group of survivors to see if anyone had the stomach to volunteer.

He gave her a smile. "I'm Cyrus. Nice to meet ya."
"Hey, some people down by the shore wanted to get a fire going...but we're not quite sure what's going on."
"Ain't we burning the fuselage?"

"Give me a sec, okay?" I said to Sarah with a comforting smile. I stood up, not wanting to crane my neck anymore.
"That's what I just heard."
"I'm sure they could use as many people as they can get. We're probably gonna need a lot of firewood. Oh, I'm Heidi, by the way," I said, looking from Elliot to Cyrus with a smile.

"I'm sure they could use as many people as they can get. We're probably gonna need a lot of firewood. Oh, I'm Heidi, by the way,"
"Heidi, good to meet you." he said, and then moved closer, leaning in slightly to whisper, "And there is no big piece of wood, I just though it looked like you didn't want to lug around corpses for the next few hours. Sorry."

I felt nervous butterflies in my stomach and almost took a reflexive step back when he stepped closer but stopped myself and smiled as I listened to his confession. "That's okay," I said, looking up at him. "I appreciate it. I was about to agree to do something I don't think I'd have been able to do." Realizing he was still standing close, I took a discreet step back. Or at least I hoped it was discreet. Man, he was good looking and nice. "So, um, where can we find some firewood?" Duh, the jungle, perhaps? I thought, mentally smacking my forehead. "I mean, where should we start?" I quickly shut my mouth to stop the nervous babbling before any other idiotic questions came out of my mouth. Dammit, I hated how I sometimes got so nervous around guys I didn't know.

Elliot watched Cyrus step foreward, it was slightly weird, but he was probably just over nice.

He gave a slight laugh at her nervousness. "Near the outskirts of the jungle should be swell enough, darlin'. I'm sure we'll find ourselves some burnin' sticks." he replied in his slight Southern twang.

I felt annoyed not just for the fact that I was nervous but for the fact that he found it amusing. It made me feel less nervous about him and more, well, annoyed with him. So, he knew what kind of affect he had, what with his southern charm, accent, and good looks. Well, it'll be a newsflash for him to find out that there is one girl not so easily charmed by him.
I knelt down in the sand in front of little Sarah and spoke to her quietly. "I have to help collect some firewood then I'll come back here so we can finish our talk." I didn't want to mention any specifics because I'd promised her that what was going on was between us. "Don't wander too far away, okay kidlette?"
I stood back up and faced Cyrus. "Okay, lead the way... sugar," I added in a sarcastic tone.

"Okay, lead the way... sugar,"
He gave another smile, and said, "Ladies first, darlin'." He then realized she probably didn't know where the best place was. "But uh, maybe I oughta go first, since...I just realized I know where better firewood is, and...I'm an idiot." he finished, sighing a little, and starting to walk towards the jungle outskirts.

Now it was my turn to give a slight laugh of amusement. "Good idea. Plus it's probably not too gentlemanly to have a lady go first into Jurassic Jungle."

Sarah didn't say anything, she just nodded and watched as Heidi went on her own way. she sighed and picked up mr. floppers and held him close. She waved to Ana, after all she was glad she was ok. But Sarah knew things would only get either worse or werid, at time she was greatful for being a little kid. The last thing she wanted to do, was clean the Beach. she knew what that involved.
Sarah moved back into her hut, taking everything with her.

She looked at the little girl go back into her 'den'. "Hey!" Elliot smiled, slightly concerned at the loneliness of her.

"Fine..." she didn't know Elliot and didn't plan on Telling Elliot anything. "...go away please." she didn't like strangers, and when she was around them she got scared.
