RUBY
Ruby couldn't help but glance up at James
"If you need water, I can always lend you mine, haven't really got much of a thirst at the moment, go on take it"
she said handing out anther bottle of water, she carried around with her, just incase.
"I have a spare as well, so go ahead!"
she smiled then turned round to see how Shannon was reacting.
"Chill..."she murmured to Shannon "He's all yours"

BOONE
He watched as Shannon and Ruby bicker back and forth. Boone wasn't sure what kind of secret Ruby was looking for, but if it were any that Boone knew, he figured it would be best if she didn't know. Boone tried to step in, but he decided to stay out of it.
"But are you still in charge of the water?".
"In charge? Seems like an odd statement coming from out here," he stated referring to the island, "but yeah I I got a couple bottles stashed somewhere, I'll grab one for you..."
"If you need water, I can always lend you mine, haven't really got much of a thirst at the moment, go on take it"
"Or you can take hers," Boone shrugged with a smile.

"If you need water, I can always lend you mine, haven't really got much of a thirst at the moment, go on take it"
"That's very kind of you" James replied with a smile, slightly taken aback by her generosity. "But you should hang on to it. You'll probably get thirsty later and besides, you never know when you may need it".
"In charge? Seems like an odd statement coming from out here,"
"Yeah, I guess it is" James laughed. "Jack's got the medicine, Sayid's got the tranciever, Sawyer's got...well...everything else, but perhaps 'looking after' is a better way of wording it! But yeah, if you could grab you me a bottle that'd be fantastic, thanks" James replied appreciatively.

"Sure thing, just give me two minutes," he said as he started to walk off to where he had the bottles stashed. He looked to Shannon as he left expecting he to make up some new witty comment about he always tries to save the day.

"Sure thing, just give me two minutes,"
She gave them both a dismissive and completely insincere smile before following after her brother. "Weren't you paying attention? Florence Nightingale just offered the guy a bottle. It's not your problem that he turned it down," she explained, hurrying to walk in front of him. "That's our water, Boone. You saw the way he looked at me. Why should we do him any favors?"

"That's our water, Boone. You saw the way he looked at me. Why should we do him any favors?"
"You'll have to excuse me sister," he told James, "She lacks proper manners." Boone turned to Shannon, "So what if we gave him a bottle of water, I'm not seeing how it'll affect you. Will you loose sleep over it?" he asked sarcastically, "And if you're worried about it running out, we'll still have like a dozen left, not to mention I'm sure it will rain again."

"Oh, so now you are in charge of water?" she asked. "Just because you were a lifeguard?"

((OOC: Lmao, I know, I confused myself, Gwenybear. That's what happens when in three days, you slept 8 hrs total and worked 34 hours total then decide to write a post at 5 a.m. before going to bed... Worst part is I accidentally hit 'Modify' instead of 'Quote' and wrote over Bella's post. I'm so sorry Bella!!)) HEIDI "Hey, no prob, Gwen." I smiled again at Bella. "You're welcome. And Bella," I called out as she walked away, "I meant what I said about giving you a hand with your shelter tomorrow, so come find me in the morning." I gave a small wave, dropping a corner of the blanket and quickly wrapping myself back up. "Brr, it's chilly," I mumbled to myself as I longingly looked at one of the warm bonfires but I didn't want to wander too far from little Sarah's shelter. I'd be fine as long as I kept myself bundled in the blanket. I sighed as I looked around to see what else was going on.

"Well I don't see you taking initiative."
And so it went, tearing her down in front of complete strangers, who already seemed to have formed an unfavorable opinion of her and didn't really need his help. She was tempted to point out the whole French translation thing that she'd done on the hike, but that would only lead to more questions from Ruby. So she swallowed her pride.
"Fine. I guess Saint Boone will go and get you a bottle of water," she remarked to James.

WILLO Willo was walking along, still trying to figure out where he had gone wrong. His luck, it seemed, was finding him even here. He was not good at talking to people. He hadn't always been this way. There was a time, not too long ago, in fact, when he was a socially outgoing fellow, having fun and surrounded by friends. But, it seems, his luck was never too far behind him.
He heard a groan echo throughout the sky. A painful reminder. It was all happening again. He was familiar with the sounds coming from the dieing man, even if he didn't know exactly what was killing him. He had put too many people into the ground not to know the sounds of someone dieing.
This one was not going to be easy. He had heard these sounds before. This was going to be a long one. He looked around the camp. Grace would be better off without him. With hating him. He knew this. And yet, it seemed perfect. He was a writer, and she couldn't hear. He came off far better in writing, he thought. It wasn't that he was ill-meaning. He was merely socially inept. It was part of his defense. It helped him from getting hurt. It helped those around him from getting hurt.
He stopped on the opposite side of camp from his shelter and looked around. He was trying to find the girl he was short with earlier and explain. Explain what he had meant and why he was short. But he had yet to find her.

I looked around at all the strangers. So many people I didn't know. Being surrounded by so many strangers had always made me uncomfortable and it wasn't often that I was the one to go up to people to introduce myself, so it was no surprise that I only knew a small handful of them.
I saw a man walking slowly and pausing near Gwen's tent. He looked to be in pain and I wondered why. The raised voices of a guy and girl around my age drew my attention. I think their names were Boone and Shannon based on conversations I've overhead of people talking about some siblings, one a spoiled rich girl and the other who seemed to cater to her but was at least putting forth some effort to help out.
A third girl was talking to them, seeming to want to start some cat fight with the Shannon girl. I just rolled my eyes. Such unnecessary drama and I'd never understand it. My eyes fell on the man I didn't recognize standing near them looking uncomfortable. Poor guy was being subjected to the drama and so far, he was being smart enough to not get involved.
A movement caught my eye and I looked over to see that he appeared to be looking for something. Or someone? It was Willo. Finally someone I actually knew. Well, knew his name at least and he was nice enough to have lent me his newspaper.
"Willo," I called out just loud enough for him to hear. When he looked over, I smiled and waved him over.

Willo looked up to see Heidi waving him over. He had no reaction on his face and slowly walked over, hoping for a bit of distraction from the messes that were unfolding around them, including the situation he had put himself into.
"Hey... Heidi, right?" he said. "Did you enjoy the paper? What was left of it, anyway..."

"That's right. Little Sarah's asleep," I said, nodding toward the shelter behind me to explain why I was talking quietly.
"Yah I did, thanks for letting me borrow it. I meant to ask you about that," I said in reference to what was left of it. "What was the article about that you'd cut out?"

WILLO "Oh, that," he said, rubbing the back of his neck and trying to come up with something. "One of my friends was in the paper, that's all."
He blinked a couple times. He was a poor liar, and he figured that she would figure it out quickly.

I could tell he was lying which only made people more curious to know the truth but if he didn't want to tell me, that was his choice. "Okay," I simply said but in a way that said 'I know that was a lie but I won't push the matter.' Funny how the way a single word is said can convey so much. To emphasize that it didn't matter, I changed the subject. "Were you looking for someone? Before I called you, you looked like you were." I shrugged. "I've been people watching for a bit so maybe I can point you in the right direction."

WILLO "I was just..." he said, ignoring the okay part. "I made a mistake earlier, and I was trying to make up for it." He heard a moan, followed by the shreek. "But clearly, there are biggest issues going on here..."

The scream startled the hell out of me and I jumped, nearly losing my balance. I put a hand over my racing heart. "Jesus."
"But clearly, there are biggest issues going on here..."
"Apparently," I said, laughing a bit after having calmed down enough to register the humor of the situation. "That must have been some bug to cause that kind of reaction." Suddenly, I wasn't laughing anymore and gave a small shudder. "I'm glad I wasn't the one who found it." I found myself searching the ground for bugs as if the loud announcement of one meant they'd suddenly be swarming everywhere.
I looked back up. "Sorry, what we we talking about? Oh, making up for mistakes and such. You never did say who you were looking for." He seemed very secretive or untrusting. I didn't know him enough to know which it was and decided to explain myself without sounding like I was lecturing. "Look, I know we're practically strangers so let me tell you a little about myself. I don't mean to be nosy or anything by all my questions. I just have this annoying habit of trying to help out any way I can so if I ask a question you don't wanna answer, you don't have to make something up. Just tell me you don't wanna talk about it and I won't ask again. I respect people's privacy and I'm not gonna force my help." I shrugged a shoulder. "I'm just open and honest about serious things and I'm not a big fan of drama or gossip.
"So," I began with a smile, "who are you looking for, or is that topic off limits?"

"Well, I'm not really sure," he said, scratching his neck. "This girl was looking for help drying her clothes, and I--well, quite frankly I was short with her. I didn't realize that the reason she came up to Gra---that she didn't have a place to stay. It makes more sense now that I've thought about it a little, and I wanted to make sure she ended up ok."
