"Thanks," Ivanova said with an almost-smile.

Scott returned it. "You're welcome."

"Putting up shelter would be a good thing," Marie commented. "If I remember correctly, rain is common in the tropics, and unfortunately, I have a few books that would become damaged in such a storm."

"Common?" Scott chuckled. "You can practically set your watch by the afternoon showers. Three-thirty on the dot."

Ivanova looked downright impatient. "I'm sure. Back later." She walked away, all business.

Scott shrugged. He had the feeling that the woman was like that all the time. Taking Ami's hand in his, Scott turned to Marie. "We can help you build a shelter. If you'll share your books." A grin tempered his last statement.

Movement near the treeline drew his and Ami's attention. McKay and a few others plunged into the lush foliage. "Didn't you want to see this stone mushroom, love?" Ami asked.

"Yeah." He looked at his wife, then glanced at the groups of newcomers. /You'll be okay?/

Ami gave him a bemused smile. /Quite. And I can teleport, remember?/

/How could I forget?/ He gave Ami a quick kiss, then turned back to Marie. "Good to meet you, Marie. I'll give you a hand later. Want to see if I can help McKay get us off of this damned island." Then he loped off in McKay's direction.

EXIT SCOTT

Ami kept quiet when Scott offered to heal Ivanova. Just because the woman pissed her off and rubbed her the wrong way was no reason to behave like a child or to be petty.

She watched his retreating backside with a smile full of appreciation for a few moments before turning to Marie. "Right then, why don't we get started on that shelter bit? We can take a look around at some of the shelters and see if there's something that you fancy. I'm rather good with the weaving of leaves and thick stems for mats, and I can teach you that.

"You might want to park your cart somewhere first. I can't imagine that dragging it around the beach is going to be very easy."

"Thanks," Marie said. "I'll probably park it near... that really big tent. In a minute."

She dug the clothes out of the duffel bag, glad that she'd picked the larger size, and stuffed the books, board games, soap, and legal pads inside. She managed to zip it up.
