"Unless you need anything else, Darling, I think I'll go and help Ana find some firewood, Perhaps keep her mind off the homicidal thoughts that might be running through it..."
He noticed the slight change in her expression, the weak smile that didn't quite match her eyes. "Are you all right?" he asked, concerned.

"Are you all right?"
"Aren't I supposed to be asking you that?" she asked with a slight laugh. "Yeah, I'm fine. It's nothing." She retrieved the last bottle of water from her pack and placed it in his hand. "Right, then, I'll leave this water with you. Try to get some rest; I'll be back in a bit."

"Right, then, I'll leave this water with you. Try to get some rest; I'll be back in a bit."
He nodded, not satisfied with her answer. But he knew she wasn't about to spill her worries to him under the circumstances. "All right. Thank you." he said encouragingly.

Ana had just about lost her patience with the increasingly childish Ruby and had wandered away to start gathering firewood. Maybe part of her was also looking for a decent sized stick to swing at the girl's head the next time she declared that she was everyone's saviour but was far too selfish to actually be of use, threatening instead, to leave them all behind to cope without her. Ana wasn't about to stop her if that was what she chose to do. Truth was, they'd managed pretty well so far.

Gwen was following Ana's example and gathering up stray branches into a bundle under her arm. "Hey," she said, when she finally caught her attention. "Must seem a bit like deja vu, since you all camped out after trying to find a signal. I'm not sure if I'll get much sleep in these woods, though," she remarked, scanning the trees which were still and quiet for the moment.
"Severin insists he'll be fine. He'll probably have to be off his feet for a few days, though," she informed her. "And I don't suppose you thought to pack any duct tape? Might improve nurse Ruby's bedside manner..."

Ruby glared over to Gwen who went off to 'collect firewood' with Ana-Lucia.
She looked over at Nikki and Paulo, who had always seemed suspicious and untrustworthy before, she still had doucbts about Nikki as they hadn't really had a chance to talk but Paulo semmed genuinely nice. she sighed heavily before giving a fed up smile to Paulo.
"Sorry that you've to hear all this" she said, speaking mainly to Paulo.

"Sorry that you've to hear all this"
'It's okay' Paulo said with a comforting smile, 'when a plane load of people from all different walks of life crash together you've got to expect a little conflict'
Nikki was regaining colour in her face now and left Paulo and Ruby and walked over to Severin.
'How are you doing?'She said in a whisper as not to startle him too badly.

RUBY
Paulo's understanding cheered her up, although she was quite cautious of Nikki who had gone over to Severin. But said nothing. What Paulo said was true, and it all began to get too much, her eyes got teary, she whiped them clean.
"Sorry, I;m not usually this emotional" Ruby tried to smile, but who was she fooling Ruby usually was this sensitive.
"Its just that I try my best and you know...?..I admit I judge people too quickly but I'm sure she's up to something, and I can't take all this much longer" she covered her eyes and sat in the foetul position.
"Sorry!" she repeated herself, trying to avoid further embaressment

"Sorry, I'm not usually this emotional"
Paulo could only look on at the downtrodden woman with sympathy. It was true the woman had an extremely loose mouth but overall she seemed to mean well despite her constant fears about Gwen. Paulo couldn't make out quite why Ruby seemed to have suspicions about Gwen unless she had feelings for Severin who she seemed quite fond of.
Ruby's crying caught the attention of Nikki who turned for a few seconds and motioned for Paulo to comfort her.

WALTER
The old man glanced from person to person. He had kept quiet for his own reasons, and was sure to get some flack from Gwen about it later, he figured. Never-the-less, everyone seemed to be calming down, and Walter walked around a little bit.
"I told you damn kids to be careful," Walter said, taking a seat next to Severin and pulling out a waterbottle from his sack. "But you didn't listen, did'ya?" he spoke with a smile. "Listen, I know you think you're the good guy in all this and Ruby is damn annoying, but, well, your record for figuring out what you would need today is a little on her side, don't ya' think?"
And with that Walter stood up.
"Don't say anything, just think about it for now, bucko."
And with that, Walter went after Gwen and Ana, to finally give them a piece of his mind.

'How are you doing?
He blinked twice, a little lost in thought as Nikki brought him back. "Sorry? Oh...oh, I'm all right, thank you." he said.
"Listen, I know you think you're the good guy in all this and Ruby is damn annoying, but, well, your record for figuring out what you would need today is a little on her side, don't ya' think? Don't say anything, just think about it for now, bucko."
Walter was right. Ruby was damn annoying. But he was also right in the sense that it probably wasn't wise to argue with her, when what he needed was her to fix his leg. He felt slight hints of guilt at the lack of gratitude he felt, but they were quickly banished by her constant, selfish babbling.

Ruby looked up to Walter who had kept out of the whole arguemnt for unknown reasons. She smiled at him, as he went over to Severin, her smile got weaker and she sniffed and sighed. She saw Walter walk off and looked at Severin, she walked over to him.
"Listen..." she sniffed "I'm sorry I just don't think I can stand another argument with you, especialy when Gwen and Ana join in. Why can't we just go back to the way things were, two British plane crash survivors getting along. I mean it may be hard to believe but once upon a time I did ctually like you" she joked hoping Severin wouldn't take it offensively "I guess this whole things screwed it all up huh?"
She looked over to Paulo and smiled, then to Nikki, she saw Walter staring at her wisely she tried to guess his exact thoughts.
"I don't mind you and Gwen Sev, it' just...let's not get into that, I guess what I'm trying to say is..I'm sorry...again! and whatever you need for your leg I'll give it to you, well within reason. To be honest this isn't really the place to make enemies, especially with whatevers out there lurking behind the bushes."
From her bag she grabbed some fruit retrieved from the island.
"Hungry?" she said turning round offering it round the group before turning back to Severin.

He watched as Ruby rushed over, rambled out a whiny monologue, and then rushed off before he could reply. She really was damn annoying, and chances were she didn't even know what she was apologizing for. Still, if he had the chance to patch things up, he could just ignore her as much as possible.
Being stuck with an irritating person was most definately one of the terrible parts of a plane crash.

"Sorry? Oh...oh, I'm all right, thank you."
Nikki smiled as she watched Ruby offer out the fruit.
'She means well' Nikki commented 'she just doesn't know when to stop talking...anyway I'm sorry about earlier...feeling sick and all...I wasn't much help really was I?'

WALTER
The old man walked up to where Ana and Gwen were gathering firewood, and he frowned as he looked up into the trees. "Now ladies, what is the one thing I told you before we split up?"

"Severin insists he'll be fine. He'll probably have to be off his feet for a few days, though,"
Ana had a small armful of the dryest branches she could find by the time Gwen found her. She looked up to acknowledge the other woman's prescense before carrying on what she was doing.
"And I don't suppose you thought to pack any duct tape? Might improve nurse Ruby's bedside manner..."
Ana let a brief smile wander onto her face as she bent down to pick up another branch.
"All I can say is thank god Jack survived."
"Now ladies, what is the one thing I told you before we split up?"
Walter had quietly joined the two of them and looked like he was about to give them the third degree.
"Hey, don't look at me..." Ana said, not wanting to get the blame.

He squirmed slightly, uncomfortable with being so powerless. "Well, there wasn't much to do." he replied.

"Hey, don't look at me..."
"Ana," she huffed at her response to Walter's question. Not that it really surprised her. "Of course we remember what you said; we didn't touch anything," she insisted to the older man. "But I might have stepped on something. A trip wire, it seems. I didn't see it. Which I guess would be the meaning of a trip wire. Severin pushed me out of the way, and that's how he got hurt."

WALTER
The old man, grinned, shook his head, and spat on the ground. "I reckon since no one got hurt it's no big deal," he spoke. "But, for the future, remember to keep a keen eye. These things are hidden, but not so bad that you can't see 'em if you know what you're looking for."
He paused, and looked up the tree at Ana.
"When you're done, I have something I'd like to show you, Ana." see

"I reckon since no one got hurt it's no big deal,"
"But someone did get hurt," she reminded him. "Severin could have been seriously injured. It seems we have an entirely new set of threats to worry about, and we're still no closer to finding out where Jake is or what happened to him."
