Nikki and Paulo didnt stay with the crowd for long, once Jack had made his speech they drifted back to sifting through the stacks and piles of unclaimed luggage.
'I was thinking...that thing out there...maybe it was a dinosaur' Paulo said aloud, heaving several checked suitcases to one side.
'Its not Jurassic Park, Paulo, its the South Pacific.' Nikki laughed off the comment and threw him a smile.
'Then what was it? You saw the trees move' Paulo replied, a more serious edge to his voice this time.
'Would you start focusing? We've been here for six days, OK, the coastguard is gonna get here any second, and I really don't think that they're gonna take “hey, you know what, I'm looking for my script-bag” as an excuse for not getting on the rescue boat.' Nikki said, feeling exasperated at Paulos need to ask her things she clearly didn't have the answers to'
'OK, OK, OK' Paulo grumbled, hauling up three more suitcases onto a nearby piece of fuselage.

Bitter and discontented, he decided it was a good idea to just...leave. Go to his shelter, get drunk or sleep or whatever he could to take his mind off...everything. Of course, then he saw two young people tearing through the luggage quickly.
He was close enough, and so with a sigh, tucked the bottle into his back pocket and walked up to the pair of them. "Hey. You guys lose your luggage?" he asked, and their expressions told him they probably did. "Yeah, I lost mine too." Might as well be helpful. He'd already almost beaten Sawyer to death, it might be good to earn a reputation as Mr Helpful. Although it was probably a little late. "I found some other stuff though, so if you need anything, pants or, sweatshirt, I can help you find some that fit. I'm Ethan, by the way."

JACK
"So, where were you today, Jack?"
Jack paused as he tried to think of the right words to explain his absence. He exhaled hard before replying. "Just had to take care of a few things."
BOONE
"I think I'll go for a walk. I'll leave you to your thoughts,"
He sat silently continuing to sulk. He didn't say any parting words to Heidi. He just attempted to smile, and nodded before turning back, away from the rest of the camp.
"People may be making a big deal out of this, but if they'd been in the same situation, I guarantee you they would have done the same...they just don't know it yet."
Again, he didn't look back at who was speaking to him. Like most people, he just needed some time alone to think things through. He let out a sigh and shook his head slowly, "I don't think that's true," he said softly.

KATE
She smiled in amusement at his half-hearted attempt of avoiding the subject. "That's all I'm gonna get, huh?"

JACK
"That's all I'm gonna get, huh?"
Jack was again silent as he juggled around the question of whether or not he would let Kate in on his problems. He never was really good at dealing with things, but perhaps that was what this entire day was meant to be for him. For Jack to learn to get past things, and he was going to tell anyone, he was glad it was Kate. "My father died, in Sydney."

KATE
She took her eyes off the fire and looked at him. Her amusement faded away, replaced by sympathy. "I'm sorry."

JACK
"I'm sorry."
He sighed as he nodded his head, "Yeah," he said looking away from Kate. "I'm sorry too," he continued, turning to look Kate in the eyes with a sincere smile on his face.

KATE
She looked him in the eyes and smiled back, caught in his gaze until a flutter brought her out of it. She momentarily looked down as if slightly embarrassed and then watched the fire in companionable silence. Kate ignored that brief stir of emotion and hoped he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Taliya
Taliya smiled sympathetically and headed back towards the fires. Things seemed rather...insane. Rescue wasn't coming and that'd only make things worse. People would go crazy, perhaps violent, if they would face this. She really didn't care too much about it. This saved her from the equally crazy world back home.

**Claire enters from Jack's shelter**
CLAIRE
She had heard Jack's speech as she had been standing near the entrance of his tent, watching. She felt better, having rested and actually gotten more than a single mouthful of water, even if it had been moments ago. Deciding she had been in there long enough, she slowly headed out of the tent, walking down towards the water. She perferred it over there, as it could cool her down, hopefully.
