***Cyrus enters***
He pushed through the trees, glancing around, and then back to make sure Heidi was still around. He broke a few branches off the trees as he moved past them.
"So, why were you on the plane?" he asked, making small talk.

***enters from G3 - Area of Survivor's Camp***
I put my hair up as we walked, getting it out of the way so I could work better. "I was on my way home from visiting a friend," I answered. The foliage on the ground was becoming thicker and higher the further we went in and my steps were starting to slow as I hesitated going much further. Maybe some idle chatter would help me to relax. "What about you? Why were you on the plane?"

"What about you? Why were you on the plane?"
"Just....coming home from an audition." he replied, hoping he wasn't about to sound like some holier-than-thou L.A actor. Like hell. Nothing had ever worked out the way he wanted.

My ears perked up. "Audition? For a film or something else?" Realizing we were still moving farther in, I stopped. Each step was getting harder and harder to take because the fear of getting attacked by that thing was growing. "How much farther are we going?"

"Audition? For a film or something else?"
"A movie, yeah." he said, slightly embarrassed.
"How much farther are we going?"
He stopped, and looked back at her, seeing she was apprehensive of entering further. And why shouldn't she be? It was a strange, dark, unfamiliar place, with wild animals, and even the system. "No farther in. Just break branches off trees and take a look about for bigger pieces on the ground."

I gave a nod of understanding and started breaking branches off, as big as I was strong enough to break off and collecting them in my arms, occassionally dropping them in a pile when my I couldn't hold anymore, all the while keeping an eye out for any possible bigger pieces. After a while, I spoke again.
"Which one?" At his confused look, I clarified. "The audition. What film was it for?"

"The audition. What film was it for?"
"Oh, oh, right. It was some....sci-fi epic space cowboy thing. I know, sounds stupid, just....kinda desperate for a role. I'm not exactly on the walk of fame." he said, breaking off a larger branch, bundling his pile under his arm.

It was very rare for me to not have heard of a film since I was always reading up on them. Maybe it was an independent film or something. "Hm, I haven't heard of that one. Doesn't sound stupid at all," I said, dropping another armful on the pile. "Kinda sounds like this TV show that used to be on. One of my favorites actually, so I'd probably see it. So, do you think you got the part?"

"No. No, I didn't get it." he said, growing a little annoyed. "When I got there, they changed the character so it was female, probably some blonde actress who was blowing the director or some other crap."
He violently ripped a branch down, and realized he should apologize. "Sorry, sorry for.....my language, and everything. I shouldn't even be angry, I'm sorry, it was too long ago, anyway."

"When I got there, they changed the character so it was female, probably some blonde actress who was blowing the director or some other crap."
I turned around so he couldn't see my smile of amusement at that and held back laughter.
"Sorry, sorry for.....my language, and everything. I shouldn't even be angry, I'm sorry, it was too long ago, anyway."
I couldn't contain my laughter any longer. "I'm sorry, it just amuses me that people take one look at me and assume I'd be insulted by cussing. I cuss as well when I get worked up about something." His last sentence just dawned on me and I gave him a confused look. "And what do you mean 'too long ago'? How long where you in Australia?"

He realized he'd almost slipped up, and quickly covered up. "I guess I'm thinking of things in the past tense now. How's that for optimism?" he said, giving a laugh. "Just seems so long ago since the crash. And unimportant."
He stood up fully and walked over to her. "And you cuss? You fucking fuckity fuck fucking cuss, do ya?"

"Just seems so long ago since the crash. And unimportant."
"So long ago? Someone definitely needs to work on their optimism," I joked. I turned around to face him, surprised he was right there. Damn but he moved around quietly.
"And you cuss? You fucking fuckity fuck fucking cuss, do ya?"
I laughed again. "Fuck ya I do," I said smiling up at him. "If the occassion calls for it."

"So long ago? Someone definitely needs to work on their optimism,"
"Optimism doesn't pay the bills in L.A....just keeps you going long enough 'til you can." he replied with a smile.
"Fuck ya I do," I said smiling up at him. "If the occasion calls for it."
"Well, if any occasion calls for it....this gorram fucking plane crash does." he replied, smiling wider.

"Oh, and he cusses in Chinese as well!" I said laughing yet again. I turned back toward the tree and broke off a couple more branches as I continued to speak. "Don't make me try to one-up you by cussing in Hungarian." I faced him again. "So are you going to just stand there and watch me work or are you going to help?" I joked.

He gave a little smile. "I was thinking about just...watching." he replied, a little quietly. Then, louder, "But I might as well get off my ass."

The sounds of rustling got closer and more prominant.

Before I could make a smart ass reply, I heard some rustling. I quickly moved close to Cyrus's side and stared wide eyes in the direction of the sound. "What was that?" I asked in a quiet shaky voice as I held on tigher to the branches I was holding.

WALTER
Out from the trees came the old man, a disgruntled look on his face as he walked out and back onto the path, just a few feet infront of them and facing the other direction. He was carrying various pieces of luggage, and also had something wrapped in a blanket. He pulled a large thorn out of his back, and, as he did so, spotted the couple.
"Hope I didn't ruin your kids fun," he said, with a grunt. "You should be careful, out here, you know?"
