pale skin didn't do too well in the heat & the merciless sun of the ark. the island might keep them safe from outside influences, but who kept them safe from nature? others may be better equipped to deal with it, some came with a natural tan - or an acquired tan, but then there was elias who ... had not seen the sun in years & avoided daylight simply due to work keeping him indoors most of the time. new at camp, new at the island, new in the sun beating down on him at the beach, he knew he'd regret it in the morning. or maybe in the afternoon already.
sat in the sand, button-up sleeves rolled up to his elbows, dark suit slacks definitely not favorable with the heat they were facing, elias was just watching the waves crash in silence until someone emerged from said waves all of a sudden. like he'd been there all along - as if he belonged. "geez louise, you just came out of nowhere! were you swimming over there all along?" had he been ogling him...without realizing he was?
