“I can just take a blanket and crash on the floor. I don’t wanna put you out or anything,” Kenzi immediately objected, partially because she felt bad and also because just having someone nearby would be really nice in helping to keep her calm. “Washing it off would be good, probably,” she agreed ignoring the question of pain. She’d dealt with it for awhile now and it wouldn’t bother her to deal a little while longer.

Kale shook his head again. Nobody at his place will sleep on the floor, especially somebody who was lost in the woods and returned. “You’ll sleep on the bed. I’ll sleep on the floor. That’s it.” He cut and went back to the water jar and took a clean cloth and a bowl, returning to the other and sitting next to her, putting everything next to him. “You don’t mind?” He asked, wanting her let to know that her sleeves ar in the way to do the procedure properly.

“The foundation of any great venture. Bravery, hope, and someone scrambling to document every occasion one of our esteemed pioneers has a cough. How’re you going to pass the time?”

“Do I have to report you if I evacuate unusually?” Kale tried to joke but quickly shook his head, hoping, that the other wouldn’t be offended. “Something. Look into the plants? Kick some rocks? Everyone have their own role.”

“Maybe,” Kenzi replied as she thought of the past few weeks. She couldn’t really see stories to tell yet unless she wanted to share her fears, which she did not. Although maybe she could get past that and actually learn from what had happened. That paired with his offer to just let her stay eased a lot of the tension she had been feeling and she felt sleepiness settling back over her. “You don’t mind? I just don’t want to deal with everything right now.”

Kale shook his head after the woman’s request. “No, I don’t mind,” he replied and stepped away from the door, still keeping his eyes glued to the other. “You can sleep here if you want. I mean, it’s alright, I’ll find somewhere to crash. But doesn’t your arm hurt? Maybe washing it off would help a bit?”

“Another tip for you. Don’t tell someone your plans for revenge. Do I have to teach you everything today,” Aella answered mockingly.

“I don’t want to revenge you,” he stated confused and stared at the other. “It’s merely a revenge. I just joked.”

“Really ? I don’t think you want to talk about it, do you ?” Kale was a farmer like herself but they were not particularly close and he did not seem to be the talkative type. New Zealand was an island and people were used to the sea and the water. Eleanor would actually miss it if she was separated from it for too long. “Yes Sir.” She faked a military salute and then smiled. “But you won’t tell on me, will you ?”

“Nothing to talk about, really,” he shrugged again. It wasn’t truth, the story behind it had layers and layers of traumas and insecurities it left him with. “Be careful,” he elbowed the woman, looking around. “They can’t vote you off but they can try to reeducate you or something.”

“Can’t argue with your perspective. I have things to do as well, but at least paperwork is portable.”

“In the brave new world, there’s still paperwork. Who could have thought?”

#rhys

“Yeah,” Amelia nodded and turned her head to the side for a moment to think. “I wonder what would happen? They can’t vote us off the island Survivor style. We are all needed,” She suggested with a soft chuckle. His next question caught her off guard. “Do I…” The engineer repeated and then pressed her lips together. “Yes,” She nodded. “I miss you dog Lucky,” Amelia confessed. “I also miss my family. When we were able to call them when we first landed— I missed my opportunity and i’ll forever regret that,” She confided. “Do you?”

Kale shrugged his shoulders. “I wouldn’t keep this idea. I mean, If one of the farmer dies, another could step in, even if he or she doesn’t specialise in, say, growing fruits and vegetables,” he muttered. He listened the other while she talked about the things she had missed. Then he shook his head. Everyone was dead for him there, even people he felt any kind of affection. “Try not to think about it. It might drive me mad a bit.”

“Shut up already,” Aella snapped as she heard yet another complaint from one of her teammates. “I think farmers are smart enough to realize the opportunity to find new plants around this lake, are they not? So how about you stop yapping and do your job.”

“You know what, you’ll the first one I will serve salad with those pants. Because why not to have some variety to our diet?” Kale asked calmly. “Of course, I’m not sure what it’ll lead to: full stomach or explosive diarrhea,” he said everything in the same calm tone.

“Apparently my afternoon nap meant nothing to anyone but myself. Let’s go get this shit over with.”

“I also don’t care about your naps. Wake up, smell grass and get over it,” he replied and scratched his arm. “Do you ever think that probably back home they have made at least three horror films where we kill each other? I do.”

Lyra groaned. This is why she got on Rhys’ nerves all the time. “I’m sorry - I didn’t mean to snap, I’m feeling a little bit homesick.” She explained lightly.

“I think homesick is too weak to describe being light years away,” he smiled down to the woman. “It’s OK not to be OK at this point, I suppose. We’re not used to to the planet.”

#lyra

Amelia sharply scoffed, and then followed by a small laugh. “I just do what i’m told,” The blonde shrugged her shoulders and smirked. “Get in trouble if you go at it any other way.”

“Would be difficult not to do what you’re said,” he pressed his lips very tight and looked around. “Ever feel homesick?”

#amelia

“I would second that but I’m kinda stoked to see the Big Lake. They say it’s like a sea in a way. Aren’t you curious ?”

Kale chuckled and shook his head. “Never have been a sea or big waters guy. Childhood trauma or something like that,” he shrugged as he looked forward and then glanced at the other. “Remember,” he raised his finger to copy one of their teammates, “this is not a vacation, this is an expedition. We’re frontiers and so on.”

Nodding her agreement Kenzi started to feel less light headed as she finished off the mug full of water. “I wanted to hunt for alternatives like that and then one thing led to another and I was lost,” she explained softly feeling the weight of disappointment added to everything else. Not only had she accomplished nothing but she was scared to death to even try again. Having no desire to see a doctor or feel overly crowded Kenzi shrugged when he mentioned going to get one. Half shrugged at least since one her arms hurt far too much for that.

“My sister liked to get lost. Anywhere: in the farm, in the town, in the woods. She would always find way back home, always with stories to tell. You’re back. Now you have stories to tell,” Kale didn’t know why he felt this urge to comfort the other. She looked unsatisfied for sure. Kale turned back to Kenzi. “If you want, you can just be here. I mean, I think you feel pain but maybe you just want to sit on everything?”

“It’s important we stick together,” Noah answered walking along the path with the rest of the Crew to the Lake. “After the storm we really don’t have enough resources to split up for any real length of time,” He continued. “We also don’t have enough soldiers to protect two separate Crews at the Lake and the camp,” The scientist explained, this trip was extremely important and it wasn’t one of leisure.

Kale firmly nodded and looked the other way. “Maybe you’re right,” he muttered and tightened his backpack’s belts. “Maybe no protection will keep us safe from animals that lurk around. I think we should settle down ultimately. We need food and it takes time to grow.”

#noah

"Yes, of course, let’s send farmers and builders to explore the Big Lake. It doesn’t matter whether they have any better to do.”

“Well I like the stars, I like looking at them and more importantly I didn’t invite you out here to look at them if you’re going to complain about it the entire time.” She huffed.

He looked down to the blonde, all puzzled. “Oh,” he said after a moment and shook his head. “I didn’t mean to ruin your... Activity,” he said and took a step back. “I didn’t understand I was musing out loud. I’m sorry, miss,” he explained himself and turned to go back to his shed.

#lyra

Allegra stifled a laugh, attempting to remain as serious as he was. She should have been respectful of his desire to remain isolated, but she couldn’t help but want to push him buttons instead. “I just cannot take no for an answer. “I can’t have a good time if you won’t have a good time too. I’ll just have to take drastic measures if that’s absolutely necessary. If I’ve got to sit on you till you agree, I will.”

Kale shook his head. He wasn’t going to give in. He couldn’t understand why the other was so eager to see him by the bonfire. He knew other people who never took no for an answer and led him to despair. Of course, it was different, but his no was supposed to be reckoned. His face changed, any hint of a smile disappeared. “My good time is being alone. Go, have a good time. I’d like to keep my decision to myself. Maybe I will come. Maybe I won’t. You should stop. You’re not making me feel comfortable.”
