"Military training, huh?" Tyler asked, sarcastically cocking his head sideways as he asked. "Is that where you learned to piss and moan like that the other night?" He continued, stifling a laugh of his own.

[cuzyeahboi]

Kai was having trouble keeping a grin off her face while the stranger huffed.

[Blaiiine]

"Relax, man." Tyler said as he kneeled down, patting the prisoners' boot. "I'm just busting your chops. After all, you shot my girlfriend. Which was, again, not cool." He continued, staring at the fox for a moment before breaking the glare into a collected smile. "So, any other skills before we decide whether you leave the island or not?" The dog asked, sarcasm seeping through.

[cuzyeahboi]

Kai laughed at this one. The stranger sighed, "I know how to make a fire." He said in a light tone. "But seriously, other than that I ain't got much to share. Firearm repair and maintenance might come in handy if you have some sort of standard issue for military. Carbines would be the easiest for me." He shrugged, "Which isn't very special of military backgrounds and I can cook which is, again, pretty useless if you've all made it this far."

[Blaiiine]

"Not really. I can't cook worth a damn and I haven't asked her." Tyler replied, gesturing to Kai before turning to face her. "Do you cook?" He asked sarcastically before looking back to the prisoner. "But honestly, that gun skill may save your ass here, bud." Tyler finished, standing back up.

[cuzyeahboi]

Kai laughs, "Sorta, Holly and I flip back and forth when we live alone." She nodded in agreement with his last statement. They did have an M16 now, could be useful.
The stranger sighed and stayed where he was. Kai rolled her shoulders back and put her hands behind her head, lacing her fingers together.

[Blaiiine]

"Well, let's let him rest before we let 'em out." Tyler said, walking past Kai as he headed to the door.

[cuzyeahboi]

Kai turned and followed after Tyler and closed the door behind her. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair, trying to straighten it out. Holly laughed, "That's why I keep mine short." Kai rolled her eyes at this, "No, you keep it short because I make you cut it when you have no commitment to your hair." Holly shrugged, "Guilty as charged." Kai laughed a little. "Well I'm gonna go see whether the shower is broken or not." She said, walking up the stairs slowly.

[Blaiiine]

Tyler sat down at the table with the others, sighing. "So here's the deal and I know you two are gonna hate it....but she wants the guy to stay." He said, lighting a cigarette at the end as he awaited the obvious argument from the others.

[cuzyeahboi]

Holly, who had been in the process of drinking whatever it was she had, choked on it and put it down, trying to spray it over the counter. Swallowing she looked at Tyler, "For real?" Somewhere upstairs came the sound of water beginning to run, Kai had managed to get it working but it was cold water only. She didn't mind.

[Blaiiine]

"Yeah. She made it clear so I have to respect it." Tyler replied, intertwining his hands uncomfortably.


"Doesn't mean we have to like it...but she's got more right to decide than us." Blaine said quietly, taking another sip from his drink.


"He's apparently good at cleaning and maintaining rifles like we got from Farrow. Don't know how much I'd trust him with firepower but it may help." Tyler continued.

[cuzyeahboi]

Holly shook her head and sighed. "It's not like he can really shoot anymore." She said

[Blaiiine]

"Wouldn't put him past it. He still has the rest of fingers, can still shoot a pistol if he needs to." Blaine retorted, wincing again at the radiance of pain that shot through his thigh. He gripped it and groaned, the bandages causing his leg to be more sore than it had been.


"Still hurting?" Tyler asked, Blaine nodded in reply.


"We need medicine for that. At least antibiotics with all of us having bullet holes in us." The dog said in a matter-of-fact tone, "But you two are far beyond scouting health...so I'm going to go. Alone." He finished, taking a slow drag from his cigarette.

[cuzyeahboi]

Holly raised an eyebrow, "Somehow, that is the worst idea I've heard today, and yesterday. And probably the day before that." She shrugged, "But seriously? Alone?"

[Blaiiine]

"Obviously. You two are beat to hell and I'll be damned if Kai goes. I'm not losing her again." Tyler replied with a stern tone in voice, almost ready for an argument.


"I'll take the bolt-action and head out tonight on foot. We passed a veterinarians' office on the way up here so that'll be the spot." The dog continued, Blaine shrugging in almost agreement with the last part of the statement.
