It was hot out, the sun was bright and beaming down carrying strong heat with it, soaking into the waters of the ocean and the sands and earth of the beach and island respectively. The trees provided great shade, but unfortunately Peter wasn't building his shelter under the trees, he needed space after all, and so he was out in the intense heat. Sure it wasn't as bad as New York could get at times, but it was still pretty hot and had forced Parker to go shirtless partway through the building of his shelter.

Currently he had one of the large beams in hand, held above his head while he looked at the walls currently being put up. His engineering degree was helping here, he'd built bridges and skyscrapers out of toothpicks in challenges in middle and elementary school, he understood all of it. It was just trying to work it out in his head, as he'd not bothered to create a blueprint and was going clearly just off what he knew.

A couple of walls were standing at this point, on either side and the back, and of course the floor was in place; now, he had to get the upper floor built, but was trying to decide if he wanted to break up rooms first before worrying about it, it wouldn't be too difficult he figured. It'd basically be one bedroom, a living area, and a makeshift 'kitchen'/dining area, and a loft up top.

Wiping a bit of sweat off his brow, he leaped up onto the ledge of the wall to get himself an aerial view. Dropping into the room below, he decided to go with the rooms being walled off first, so he didn't have to try to slip in beams underneath the ceiling, and began to place the beam in place, whipping the large, heavy beam around his head before setting it down across the floor, laying it flat and moved out of the house to begin grabbing the smaller beams that'd go in between. He loved building, this was like real life Minecraft.

"Well, to be fair, I throw myself into the conversation because when I feel awkward, I start rambling to the point of being completely incoherent, and that sucks. Let me tell you. Still, it also helps when you have someone nice and as wonderful as you, to talk to. Especially when that person talks to dead people and therefore probably has twenty better stories than me."

As they walked, he ran his hands together, and then looked over at her as he raised a brow, "So how do you like it here? It's probably a bit quieter here for you than even me, and I'm from New York which is bustling with noise. But can't be that many spirits here, it's a deserted island. Save for the animals I guess..."

Peter was more than fine with walking in the woods, though that was only because he literally had super powers that made him extremely balanced and aware of his surroundings. So it was a bit of an unfair advantage, "It's hot around here, it's probably the most difficult part to get used to."

Jaime tilted her head back to laugh a little more. "Oh you're wonderful. I don't know about a lot of stories for you, but I have some and some are good and some are bad and some are downright weird." she grinned a bit more at him as they walked, she tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled again.

"It's very quiet. It's wonderfully so. No one's clambering for my attention. I can sense the animal spirits but they aren't talkative, they're just there and gone again fi at all. It's a vacation from all the cacophony of sounds back home, so I love it."

"Eh - I spent a lot of time in Georgia and the like, it's not too hard to adjust myself."

"Am I? Aww, I've only been told that exactly 3 and a half times. I say half, because someone took it back moments after saying it," He winked with a chuckle, then continued on his walk with her, stretching his neck and back a bit, before glancing over at her, "I wonder if they're not talkative because there were no humans with speech or something. I don't know how animal spirit conversation works, just figured that might have something to do with it."

He looked over at her, and then nodded, "Yea, I'm from New York. It got super hot during the summer, but most of the time it was cold as hell. Still, this place is warm, I do like it though. Are you from Georgia?" Deciding having backstory was always nice, smirking over at her as he looked at her.

She was cute, definitely very pretty and eye catching. It was weird for him to look at every person he came past and thinking of them in a sexual manner due to the nature of their 'job' here on the Island, "And have you enjoyed your time here on Sex Island yet?"
