"Sorry to interrupt, Ruby, Ruby Carling, sorry to listen in but I was just going through the same trail of thought myself, Sawyer may look like the bad boy type but I reckon it's just all talk with him, No, I think it's someone else, At first I thought it was Nikki & Paulo-but one Marshal couldn't be escorting two prisoners could he? And they look pretty weird but you can't put it down to appearances so for all we know it could be someone really nice like..say..Hurley, then again I don't think Hurley would have it in him"
Severin opened his mouth to talk, when the girl carried out an entire conversation, barely stopping to breath. It was quite impressive to watch a human being talk so long without breathing properly. "I'm sad to say I don't know who Nikki and Paulo are. It's only been five days, I barely know anyone really." he said, standing and extending his hand. "Well, nice to meet you, Ruby. I'm Severin."

Ruby listened to Severin and heard his British accent, it reminded her of home looked up at him.
"Oh well Nikki and Paulo there not important right now, just some thinking I was doing and don't worry I only know most people by name here, not by person, I'm still finding it all a bit obscure to be honest, others seem to be fitting in so well and then there's me. So your British hey? What part you from I'm from London, I worked at the hospital there, so if you think I talk a lot it's all that bedside manner treatment that's done it. If you ever need help with anything I'll always be willing to help you out..both of you" she said looking at Kate then Severin.

"So, what do you want to do while we wait? Is there anything you'd like to hear?"
Grace smiled thinly. "I would have wanted to hear my aunt's voice, but since that's out of the picture... you don't know how to sing, do you? I've always wanted to know what music sounds like." Her aunt had loved music, said it was one of the great art forms of the world. She'd compared classical music to a Vermeer painting so that Grace could get the visual image of something beautiful and old, yet with the same beauty it had held when it was new a century or more ago. Music, yes, that was one thing Grace wanted to hear.

WILLO The young man blushed, he was not used to singing, but could do it on demand. He had sung a kid to bed every night for a few years, and had come quite good at it.
"Well, I'm not very good, but I got my niece to bed every night..." he said, silently wishing he had never spoken a word about his ability to sing. "I suppose I could do a song." For her, he thought, it was worth it. "Let me think of something."
He thought...and came to the one song that came to mind.
Did someone call my name like a distant drum that's beating or is it just aanother dream of long ago
I dance again; I am spinning In the light I am living and I can feel the power rushing through my veins once upon a time I could do no wrong for the candle flickers, the flame is never gone
to my brilliant feat they all pay heed I hear the crowds roar oh so loudly
"Sorry," he said, almost wispering. "I'm not that good at singing I fear." He spoke with a smile as he examined her face.

KATE
Kate looked away, unable to look Severin in the eye while she answered but before she could answer, they were interrupted by someone she hadn't met yet.
"Who are Nikki and Paulo?" Kate asked at the same time as Severin. Kate remained seated and just looked up at Ruby with a small smile. "Kate," she simply said.
"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind," she said with a sincere smile. But Kate doubted she would. She wasn't really one to ask for help until she'd tried everything she could on her own and realized it wouldn't be enough. The subject seemed to have been drawn away from who the criminal could be so Kate let it pass by. She stopped craning her neck and turned back to look out at the ocean, adding "Likewise," after quickly thinking it through. The less she got involved with people, the less attention she brought to herself, but being rude by not offering the same in return, for example, could also bring attention. Besides, she meant it.

CLAIRE
The young woman stirred as the sun was high in the sky. One hand on her large pregnant belly, Claire Littleton slowly woke. Her wavy blonde hair loose and somewhat in her face, she pushed it out of the way. The sound of the waves hitting the beach over and over again relaxed her, until she realized that they had yet to be rescued from this piece of rock. Letting out a sigh, Claire pushed herself up into a sitting position. Looking around, there were a few more people awake, but she wasn't planning on disturbing them.
Having used her luggage as a pillow (thankfully she had found her luggage), she pulled the large bag close to her, before opening it quickly. She needed to change her clothes. Picking out a pink tank top and another one of her black skirts, she pulled herself to her feet, with the help of a nearby tree which she had been using for shade. She walked into the jungle slightly just to change.
She returned quickly and looked around once again. She might as well find something to do. There was a large pile of things that needed to be sorted, and seeing as Claire couldn't do much more than that, she headed in that direction to help. She didn't want to just sit around all day.

"Sorry. I'm not that good at singing I fear."
Grace shook her head with a smile and this time, instead of writing, her answer came in signs. "I loved it," was indicated by the fairly self-indicative sign made by kissing the back of her closed fist and moving the fist slightly away from her mouth, and "thank you" was a simple movement of her fingertips touching her chin and moving away.

"I knew the second one," he said, and wrote down afterwords, hoping it would help her out. "And I think I can figure out the first one." He smiled and looked at her. He itched his forehead instinctively and got caught staring at her for a minute. He shook his head and rubbed the back of his neck gently. He looked out to the ocean, a large grin on his face still. It was the longest he had smiled in quite some time.

***Gwen enters from Walter's Shelter***
In the course of looking for Jake, she happened upon three other familiar faces. One of them being the talkative Ruby, whom she feared offending again only minutes after she'd already done so. But she wanted to talk to Severin and there was something she wanted to discuss with Kate so it was a risk she had to take.
She walked up hesitantly, waiting for a break in conversation and smiled at them. "Morning. And hello, again," she added to Ruby.

KATE
Well, so much for trying to blend into the background. Instead of craning her neck again, Kate stood up to face their new guest. "Gwen, good morning," she said with a smile as she brushed the sand off her cargo pants.

"Hello, Kate. Do you mind if I borrow her for a moment?" she asked of Severin and Ruby. Severin already knew about yesterday's fight, but she was hesitant to give Ruby more fuel for what seemed to be her overly-active mind.

"Hello, Kate. Do you mind if I borrow her for a moment?"
"Not at all. Go right ahead." he smiled, holding his arm out slightly. "Just return her in good condition."

MAXINE Maxine was a rare breed for those who spent some time in Washington. She was a morning person. It was amazing what could be achieved early in the morning when half of the town was still suffering from a hangover. Especially when you had a reputation for yelling until you got your way.
However, on this island yelling was futile. Logically, Maxine should have been a leader for these people. She had served people in Congress. However, none of these people were from her part of Los Angeles. That was becoming clearer from they acted. Besides, she was used to fighting with whoever was in charge.
This morning, she looked around the camp, doing her best to still hold herself with some class. She made her way over to the pile of clothes where the small blond girl--who was also very pregnant. She smiled as she approached the girl.
"You got a lot of fire sister," she said, as she began to help the girl sort through the clothes. "You look like you're ready to burst any minute, and you're still doing work. I'm sure half the island would do whatever you'd say--and something tells me you know that. You got a lot of fire, that's for sure."

CLAIRE
She looked up as a woman began speaking to her. As she was finished, Claire smirked a bit. "Well, I mean, I don't feel like I'm about to burst. Sure, I could, but if I can still walk around and do things, I can't sit around and do nothing, y'know?" She set a folded shirt to her side and picked up another article of clothing.
Before she began folding, she stopped. Holding her hand out to the woman, she smiled. "I'm Claire," she told her, "Claire Littleton."

KATE
She turned her head to the side as Gwen asked to speak to her alone. What could it be about? As always when someone wanted to speak to her alone, the question of whether they knew her secret would fleetingly come to mind. She smiled at Severin's response.
Kate moved alongside Gwen out of earshot of anyone else and gave her a curious look. "What's up?"

"What's up?"
"I just wanted to check how you were," Gwen inquired. "I gather that everyone on the hike yesterday now knows about the whole...being off-course situation. And judging by the venom that Ana-Lucia was spewing at me afterward, the news wasn't well-met. I'm sorry that you and Charlie had to bear the brunt of it."

KATE
At first, her heart skipped a beat when she assumed Gwen was asking how she was taking the marshal's death. Her expression did not convey those feelings, however. Kate gave a wry smile and crossed her arms. "Ana-Lucia stuck her little claws into you too, huh?" Kate asked rhetorically. She gave a dismissive wave of her hand. "It's okay. People like that, you can't let them get to you. There's bigger things to worry about here." Like what the hell is in the jungle? Will we ever be found? and Will anybody find out I was the one the marshal was 'escorting' back to the states. "How are you holding up?"

"How are you holding up?"
"Um, trying very hard not to worry about those 'bigger things'," she replied, forcing a smile. "Another day without rescue, people are going to start worrying about the food and the water. I don't really know how to answer them. And I'm sure neither of us want anyone wandering off into the jungle looking for resources. Not when we know what's waiting in there," she remarked, glancing at the treeline.
"But I know Sayid's working tirelessly on the transceiver, so...there's always hope, right?"

"Another day without rescue, people are going to start worrying about the food and the water. I don't really know how to answer them. And I'm sure neither of us want anyone wandering off into the jungle looking for resources. Not when we know what's waiting in there,"
Kate followed Gwen's look toward the jungle. "There's not much left in the food pile I'd stopped by this morning." She looked back to Gwen. "I'll collect some more fruit today. I can handle going in there, preferably during daylight," Kate said with a reassuring smile, glad to have something constructive to do and who's to say they were any safer from that thing on the beach than they were in there? "As far as the other food groups," she shrugged, "I don't know what to tell ya."
"But I know Sayid's working tirelessly on the transceiver, so...there's always hope, right?"
"He is," she nodded. "And there is hope. All you have to do is see him tinkering away with the electronic gadgets and listen to him explain what needs to be done. He makes it sound like it's as simple as a kids' jigsaw puzzle even though it sounds like he's speaking a different language with all those technical terms." She paused and looked around for Sayid. "I was actually going to stop by and see how he's doing on his most recent project; see if there was anything I could do to help."

Before she began folding, she stopped. Holding her hand out to the woman, she smiled. "I'm Claire," she told her, "Claire Littleton."
"I never said it was a bad thing, sister," Maxine said with a smile, taking the girls hand in two hands and clasping it. "Maxine Brown. That's why I came over here to help out. You are something, kid. We could use a few more like you these days, that's for sure."
The outspoken woman paused and backtracked. She always spoke her mind, and that tended to get her attention in the outside world. In here, in this close knit a group, the less attention the better. "I didn't mean to be insulting. People take me that way a lot." Maxine resisted the urge to namedrop some of the people she had pissed off, including the first President Bush. "You probably look ready to burst because you're a bit slimmer to begin with."
"Most girls, they'd be scared out of their mine or getting all the brothers to help them out, you know?" she said. She looked down at her feet and then back at Claire.
