Claire's feet throbbed, but there was nothing really she could do. Charlie had been acting so strange lately, and she had no idea why. He HAD said that they were friends after the crash, and she did think quite fondly of him, or so she implied in her journal. Maybe...maybe he was just afraid of her like everyone else was.

Adrienne struggled with the pile of wood, she knew she'd taken too much but she didn't want to have to go back for a second load. She hated that jungle- it gave her the creeps.

"Nothing really. Just keeping busy. What are you doing?"

Shannon wouldn't deny she was searching for someone to talk to, but she wouldn't admit it either. As she eyed the other survivors, she wondered how many of them knew the half of what was going on, not many seemed to care.

"Was I interrupting something?" She doubted it, what kind of important conversation could they possibly have.
