The good news was that more people had come together than she had expected. The majority of them had voted to make temporary camp near the waterfall. She hadn't necessarily disagreed with the argument that a waterfall caused too much noise to hear potential threats. But majority rule had won out in that occasion. It wasn't necessarily permanent, it was just a place to crash while they made more permanent and stable plans. This place hopefully wasn't filled with large threats, besides animals, but it was far too early to tell if that was the case.

Sara had spent the rest of the day showing anyone who wanted to learn how to build a shelter for themselves using just what was available to them. Luckily it was hot enough that none of them were going to freeze without blankets. She'd been trapped on colder islands than this. This? Really was paradise.

When the sun rose, so did she. She'd crawled out of her leaf hut, and looked around the camp sight. Personally, she liked it. They were next to a stream, a waterfall, the beach wasn't too hard to get to. She was probably going to start drawing up plans for a round lodge in the same area. It was bigger, a large shelter to do for now.

But first, food and probably taking advantage of the waterfall. Because why not? It was the first time in a long time she didn't feel pressure to really do anything but survive. If Sara was anything, she was a survivor. This was infinitely better than the 1950s. No immortals to deal with, no mission. Yes, she had wanted to change her own fate. But after it became clear the team wasn't coming back to get them, this was the better option. She could be useful here. She could protect people, help them survive. Build, hunt, offer protection. Sara could be useful, and take the time to take care of herself at the same time.

She had noted yesterday that there was a number of fruit trees growing on the island, and yesterday she had spotted peaches. She moved through their camp quietly toward the tree. She couldn't reach the lowest branch with fruit standing, but it was nothing for her to jump, swing herself up and pick a few peaches off before jumping back down again.

Breakfast in hand, she headed over to the waterfall, sitting down on a rock by the waters edge and submerging her legs in the pool.

	Ruby felt her heart rate speed up a little when Sara moved so close. It had been a while since she was with anyone and she hoped that she wasn't out of practice. Rather than answering Sara's question, she leaned in to close the brief distance between them and kissed the other woman, lifting one hand to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear.

She could hear the alarms in he head instantly. Those voices telling her to get the hell away before she started to feel pretty much anything. She'd felt those already, though. It was something she was going to push aside. This time, they would not get the better of her. Sara returned the kiss, her free hand resting lightly on Ruby's cheek. She was going to take that as a yes.

It was definitely a yes, though Ruby wasn't feeling really inclined to actually get up and move. They were definitely in an area that was too open and where they were too likely to be seen if they stayed here though and if this was going to go any further, Ruby would prefer not to risk having an audience.

She tangled her hand in Sara's hair and pulled back just enough that she could speak. "So, about that walk..."

This morning had not gone the way she had imagined it going. In fact, it had been a very rapid change. But a good one. Smiling, Sarah carefully got to her feet and offered Ruby a hand up. "Shall we?" As nice as it would be to stay here, it was far to exposed. It was still early, and the jungle was large enough that they probably wouldn't have to walk for too long.

	This was definitely the best morning Ruby had in a long time and she grinned as she took Sara's hand and let the woman help her to her feet. "Absolutely," she agreed. (Reply to this) (Parent)
