He couldn't help but grin foolishly as he recounted a description of Santa Monica. "I've never been to LA. From Sydney to LA was going to be my first time there. I've never eaten a pretzel, either." he breathed, well aware what Gwen was trying to do and grateful that it was working. He could practically smell the saltwater and creaks below his feet. He somehow doubted it was as lovely as Gwen described, but that was no harm in pretending.

"I've never eaten a pretzel, either."
"Oh, what a sheltered life you've led, Private Severin," she sighed in sympathy. "Seriously, military service, plane crash, arrow through the leg. And you couldn't find one second to eat a pretzel? I'm not talking about the sad excuses for pretzels that we give you on the plane. No, no. I'm talking knots of dough as big as your head, salted or unsalted, whichever you prefer."
She then looked at Ana to check her progress, trusting that she would tell her when she thought it was okay to start moving again.

"Actually, it would be Private Darling. Severin is just my middle name." he said, pointlessly correcting her. "I suppose with all the plane crashes and leg injuries that happen frequently in my life, I just haven't found the time to enjoy a pretzel."

"Your last name is Darling? Really?" she gasped. "I thought that only happened in Rowan Atkinson series. Oh, I am gonna' get so much mileage out of this. After you've recovered, of course."

He gave a pained laugh. "I'll look forward to it. Maybe if I feel stupid I'll tell you my first name." he said, smiling up at her between moans.

"So very secretive," she commented with a raised eyebrow. "It can't be that bad. And have you forgotten Ana's a cop? With several interrogation techniques at the ready, I'm sure."
She turned her attention back to Ana. "How's it look?" she inquired.

"How's it look?"
"It looks like he's got an arrow through his knee." Ana said plainly, using the last bandage they had. "It'll work for getting him back to either Ruby or Jack, but that's it." There was a pause while she tied a knot in the dressing. "And it's Percy." She added, referring to Severin's first name.

"Jack, please."
"And it's Percy."
He looked to Ana, and then looked at Gwen. He smiled and shrugged, and then grunted in pain as he did.

Wondering how Ana knew this fact, she looked back to Severin. "Well...Percy's not that bad," she said. "I mean, it could be much worse, couldn't it?"

"I mean, it could be much worse, couldn't it?"
"Feel free to laugh. I'm well aware of the pansiness of that name." he said, trying his best to keep a wide grin. It was getting difficult to think straight or concentrate.

"Feel free to laugh. I'm well aware of the pansiness of that name."
"Psh. One of the most attractive men I ever met was named Seymour; now that is a pansy name. And he certainly would never have taken an arrow for me," she told him. "Shall we get a move on then, Darling?"

Ana rolled her eyes at the two of them, feeling suddenly queasy. It must be the English way to be so openly vomit inducing at times of crisis. Ana finished knotting the bandage with a rough tug.
"You think you can walk if we help you?" She asked him.

"Shall we get a move on then, Darling?"
"You think you can walk if we help you?"
"Yes, yes." he said, relieved he was going to stand. He felt helpless just lying on his back. He put his arms out for Gwen and Ana to help, and began to move his good leg.

Gwen ducked under his right arm and placed it across her shoulders. "And I suppose it goes without saying to watch your step," she said. At least if Ana was supporting his other arm, she'd be too occupied to hit her.

Ana supported Severin on the opposite side to Gwen, taking his weight on her good shoulder. At least Gwen had some foresight to pick the right side.
"We should head back along this path. We know it's safe." She said, setting off.

"We should head back along this path. We know it's safe."
He felt like at any second, his leg was going to snap beneath him. However, it remained intact, meaning he'd just have to settle for the numbing pain. "All right then. Let's go."

"And let's hope that thing doesn't decide to come back in our direction," she noted, walking carefully as she tried to support him. "Did any of you see it on the hike yesterday?"

"Did any of you see it on the hike yesterday?"
"No, which is a good thing." he grunted, walking uneasily with them.

Ruby enters F4 Mid Jungle Area with the Others. (Nikki, Paulo & Walter) after heearing voices nearby.
"I'm sure I heard something over here!" she said "Voices, it must be Ana, Severin and Gwen. It definately wasn't that thing from earlier, the noise, it was too different." she looked puzzledly up at Paulo and turned to the other two in the group "I'm sorry guys, I guess I've just lead us to the middle of nowhere!"

Gwen stopped short, thus bringing Severin and Ana to a halt along with her. "Hang on, I think I heard something," she said, looking intently at the path ahead, trying to make out any sign of movement.
