BOONE
"...and Severin. I use to think that you were someone worth talking to but I guess your just another pawn in Gwen's little troup of popular people."
Boone was all of a sudden at a loss, he had no idea what was going on. Whether there was story behind it or it was all just a spur of the moment type thing, but it all seemed kind of random and unnecessary to Boone.
"I think the biggest mystery about this island is officially how a twelve year old girl got into the body of a nurse."
Boone looked at Severin and then back at Ruby and Gwen, "Hey why don't we all just calm down here," Boone said trying to take charge, but Boone's intimidation of no one taking him seriously affected his actions more then the act themselves. The fact that Boone practically mumbled the words made it evident that he didn't quite have what it took to be a leader.
"You're all a bunch of kids, if ya' ask me, But, I do know that Dr. Jack has a lot on his plate, seeing as how he was thrust into a leadership role on this island. The man hardly gets any rest. I would feel much safer for the people back there, Ruby, if you were with them. But, I'm not going to forbid you from coming. Had I listened when two of our fellow castaway told me to stay... well, they wouldn't be in camp right now, that's for sure."
Boone looked at Walter with admiration, he seemed liked a cliched old wise man. Boone found this rather interesting.

Sev looked at Ana, seeing she wasn't impressed with who they'd managed to round up. He moved towards her. "Ana, we're about ready to leave if you are."

Severin came up to greet her and she paused to catch her breath and massage her shoulder.
"Ana, we're about ready to leave if you are."
"Tell me this isn't everyone." She said, frowning at Severin.

WALTER
"Ah, Ana Lucia is here," he said. "Fantastic." He picked up a large branch that had fallen to the ground and lifted it up, checking it for weight. "This is not gonna' be an eas' task, children," the old man spoke, glancing from person to person. "This jungle we're standin' in the midst of is not an easy place to navigate. There's a path that leads in as far as we can go before sundown. If Jake did disappear into the jungle, he--or whatever took him--was prolly' on this path at least a while. So, unless one of you has a better idea than that, I suggest that's how we go forth."

"You're right, your medical expertise could probably come in handy out here. We'll be setting off once Ana-Lucia joins us."
Ruby turned round and wallked back, she had gotten what she wanted, but didn't exactly feel good about it now she had pratically lashed out at Gwen and Severin. But she just put it down to island craziness.
"I think the biggest mystery about this island is officially how a twelve year old girl got into the body of a nurse."
Ruby glared at Severin, but she espected some sort of sarcastic comment from him. Maybe he was showing his true colours.
She feared she'd never be able to live down this bratty new persona she had just adopted, she just wasn't use to being rejected from things. Especially if she'd shown interest in them or was doing someone else a favour
"What should I do?" she thought "I'll stay but...Gwen. God I feel awful about it. Maybe if I just don't say anything, then things won't boil over again. Severin, god Sev, she did like this man, but what she said was true in her opinion. Perhaps she'd spent too much time with Shannon, no one seemed to mind that sort of behaviour from her-except Boone-who she recognised in the crowd" she took a few brief moments to cool down and wait for Ana-Lucia
"Hey why don't we all just calm down here," Boone said trying to take charge, but Boone's intimidation of no one taking him seriously affected his actions more then the act themselves.
After she turned up, Ruby feeling slightly isolated after that rant, walk to the side of Boone
"Thanks for calming things down Boone" she said, hoping that she could get along with at least one person in the search party.
Boone was with Walter, she didn't really know what to say to him this was the first time she'd ever spoken to him since advising Rose to rest him after he collapsed, instead she kept silent.

"Sounds adequte." he agreed, listening to Walter. "But there's no point inconfining an entire team of people to a single pathway. It would be better to split up."
There was another reason to split up. Walter, Boone, Ruby, they were useless, for lack of a better word. Ana was right. Ana and Gwen had real motivation that would come in useful, Severin had his training. If they could shed the others, they wouldn't be held back.
ooc: whoever replies next, don't disagree with this. there's a plan in place.

((OOC: Hehe. Yes, believe it or not, we have planned ahead.))
"But there's no point in confining an entire team of people to a single pathway. It would be better to split up."
"Right. Expand the search radius, or however you say it," she said, looking to Ana to see if she agreed. "But everyone, please do be careful. As Walter said, this is unfamiliar territory, and the landscape can be...unpredictable. We don't want anyone else getting hurt."

WALTER
"And fer' the love of all things holy and mighty, don't be touching things," he said, looking at the people one by one. "There are things here better left untouched, so to speak. So, what are teams?"

BOONE
He just stood back, waiting for his orders. He'd much rather follow instructions, then intervene and cause problems.

"Splitting up means we can cover more ground quickly." Ana agreed, talking directly to everyone at once. It struck her that the old man that she'd initially dismissed seemed to have more knowledge about the jungle than she first thought. His no-nonsense manner won him some of Ana's respect.
"You sound like you know what you're talking about." She said, pulling Walter to one side. Gwen mentioned that he'd been the one to draw the picture of Jake, so he at least knew who he was looking for. "You lead these guys." She nodded towards everyone but Severin. "Stick together and keep your eye's peeled." Then she turned back to the group, addressing them like a Captain commanding the squad.
"Jake's been missing for almost a day. He's already hurt and likely to have been neglecting his anti-biotics, so if you find him, you need to get him back to the beach so Jack can check him out." She noted the worried look on Gwen's face.
"Severin, you're with me."

He watched as Ana blatantly threw Gwen out of the equation. He folded his arms, maintaining a friendly disposition. "Well, maybe it would be more benefit for Gwen to come with the pair of us, Ana. Three people make more sense than just two, correct?" He realized Gwen would want to be in the, 'winning' team. It was more likely that he and Ana would find Jake, and Gwen would want to be there when they did. Besides, it was cruel to leave Gwen with Ruby.

Much like Boone had decided to do, she stood there silently awaiting Ana's instructions. This was her show, and Gwen was perfectly capable of stepping aside and letting her lead. And predictably, Ana chose to go off her own way with Severin and leave her with the rest of the party. It was probably better for all involved if there was a safe distance between the two of them. So she didn't suppose there was much point in protesting, until Severin did so for her...
"Well, maybe it would be more benefit for Gwen to come with the pair of us, Ana. Three people make more sense than just two, correct?"
She looked at Severin with slight surprise, and then turned to Ana for her reaction. Wondering whether she would sneeringly reject Gwen's company or begrudgingly accept. Either way, they needed to make a decision and stop wasting time talking.

WALTER
"You sound like you know what you're talking about."
"I've seen a few things better left unseen in my many days, ma'am," he spoke.
"You lead these guys." She nodded towards everyone but Severin. "Stick together and keep your eye's peeled."
"Wouldn't be much of a search party if'n we didn't keep our eyes peeled," he said, with a smile.

"Well, maybe it would be more benefit for Gwen to come with the pair of us, Ana. Three people make more sense than just two, correct?"
Ana-Lucia glared at Severin for a moment, thinking about what he had just said and wondering how serious he was. Her gaze flicked to Gwen, who was waiting patiently for an answer either way. In truth, she really could have done without Gwen following her around, whinning and patronising her all the time, but Severin was clearly intent on sticking with her. And she needed Severin. Suddenly, Ana felt like she was being held at gunpoint again.
Ana looked away and threw her arms up as if to say I don't have time for this crap.... She screwed her face up in frustration before finally giving in to Severin.
"Fine." She said through gritted teeth. "Gwen, you're with us. Let's not waste any more time, huh." She stomped past Severin, taking the lead.
"And let's hope your favouritism doesn't come back and bite you on the ass..." She muttered to him under her breath.

BOONE
He nodded as the groups were assigned. He looked up at Ana, almost glad he wasn't apart of her group. Someone going missing is bad enough, no one needed a 110 pound bitchy anchor attached to that. Of course this was all in Boone's head, he never once dreamed of saying such things to Ana to be respectful, and friendly, but most of all, Boone was quite intimidate by her.
Boone turned to Walter, "So what exactly are we suppose to be looking for?" Boone asked, "Oppose to a full grown man with a wounded shoulder," Boone added, not to sound like a smart ass, but to avoid any confusions, or personal jokes directed at him.

"Fine. Gwen, you're with us. Let's not waste any more time, huh."
Begrudging acceptance it was, then. "Finally we agree on something," she remarked. She turned back to the others. "Good luck, and be careful."
She then followed Ana's lead up the path, pausing only to smile up at Severin as she passed him. "Thanks." He seemed to be the only person who could safely disagree with Ana. For the time being, he was willing to use that influence to protect Gwen's interest in the matter and for that, she was grateful. Plus, it might take all his military skill to maintain the tenuous ceasefire between the two women.

WALTER
He glanced down the path. "Be safe," he worded to those leaving before turning to his 'crew'.
"So what exactly are we suppose to be looking for?" Boone asked, "Oppose to a full grown man with a wounded shoulder,"
"Well, boy," he spoke, in a sort of matter-of-fact tone. "We're the only people on this isle, 'far as I can reckon. As such, anything that looks out of place." Walter had always been a good liar. "I got eyes like a hawk, kiddo, so don't you worry."
With that, Walter went on his way.

"Thanks."
He gave Gwen an encouraging smile, and then began to wonder if he'd done the right thing or not. He followed them carefully, glancing over his shoulder at the others. He then turned back to his own group.

"Typical." Ruby muttered under her breath, she did feel bad about what she said to Gwen, but she knew that she would end up going with her, because it gave the 'queen bee' Ana-Lucia a chance to stick the knife in and stir thing up.
She also knew that Severin, who had found a place as the islands door mat would try and worm Gwen into his group with Ana. She turned to Walter and then to Boone.
"Looks like I'm with you guys then." she said simply
