Bigger, on the other hand, was almost completely chill. A tropical island vacation? Count her in. In fact, she was wearing a bikini under her clothes as they spoke.

"Relax," she said cheerily, coming up next to him and punching him lightly on the upper arm. "This isn't your island, okay? We're going to be fine."

He flinched at her touch before looking a little chagrined.

"Doesn't mean it's not as dangerous." Vegas scanned the tree-line. He knelt to touch the ground before looking back at her and shaking his head and looking at her.

"Never be too careful. This place can play tricks on you-that and when you don't know the local wildlife..." something made a noise overhead, "Without weapons? You're fucked."

She arched an eyebrow. "You're being way too paranoid. All we need to do is find a place with fresh water and fruit, and just hang out there until it's time to go back. Pretty easy if you ask me."

She looked out at the ocean longingly.

"Hey, do you know how to swim?"

He stared at her, "...Paranoid keeps you alive. Kept me alive. You're too soft, don't have any instincts."

He blinked at her, "...Why?"

He looked at the water with a degree of mistrust, "...Just keeping afloat-nothing fancy."

A pause, "...Nobody left knew how to swim except some of the old timers."
