This was horrible. This was exactly the opposite of how he was wanting his day to go... Having to apologize to a Scavv? It was one of the most embarrassing things that he could think of. He was in the middle of inner turmoil when she spoke and tilted his head so he could look at her, quoting...

Daniel wasn't expecting the hug, but he welcomed it with open arms. It was a step in the right direction, and he certainly didn't mind having her in his arms. He glanced over at Eli, who looked irritated, and flashed him a shit-eating grin as if to say 'I win'. The hug was much shorter than...

Daniel honestly didn't see what he was doing wrong. He was trying to help, he cared deeply for her, and everything he was saying only seemed to make her angrier. He didn't understand it. He worked so hard to keep her safe, to try and show her how much he cared... But nothing seemed to work...

Daniel said his peace, so he just waited for her to say hers. However, when she mentioned the Scavver's name, he found himself growing irritated. He kept his mouth shut until she finished speaking, if only to keep from getting slapped again. The fact that she had already hit him twice was bad...

It was obvious by the look on Eli's face that he wasn't happy about Daniel being there, and even less happy that he wanted to talk to Carly alone. He knew he wasn't in a position to get out of the bed yet, and though she said that they'd been friends for a long time he could still see him...

Eli had never heard of cheriza juice, and it was an assault on his senses. "Huh. I mean, it's good... But yeah." he said with a little laugh, setting the glass to the side. It really wasn't something he could see himself drinking often. He certainly noticed the tint on her lips, and he...

Eli smiled warmly as she sat back down and spoke. It was going to be difficult to not feel completely inferior in a place like this... He knew that if push came to shove, he could fight better than anyone else in the dome, but there was something about this place that just reminded him of his...

Eli smiled warmly as she spoke. It was good to see her so relaxed and calm, and he was sure he could see a new lightness in her step. After the stress of the day before, it was nice to have a few quiet days with her, even if he still had to look over his shoulder. He never felt too...

Thanks to the cocktail of drugs they had him on, Eli hadn't noticed when she stealthily slipped out of bed. He hadn't noticed much of anything, his dreams filled with strange and contradicting images. Despite that, it was the most restful sleep of his life. --- Daniel had tried to sleep. He...

Eli smiled softly at her teasing. "Hey, papercuts can injure a guy if they're bad enough, you know." he said with a little laugh. This was... Nice. Curled up with her by his side, he could feel the heaviness of sleep starting to drift over him. The little purr she made pulled his lips into...

Eli was beginning to figure out his escape plan, though he was sure that there was someone just outside the door waiting for him. He was gonna die. It wasn't until he heard her giggle did it snap him out of it, enough to watch her scoot onto the bed with him. Her whispered words in his ear...

The conversation was beginning to take a turn for the worse, even in his drugged-up state Eli could see that much. She explained her father's thought process, and he soon came to the conclusion that he didn't agree with it at all. Yes, she had food, water, an education, a safe place to...

The words her father had said to him pissed him off, sure... But it wasn't the insults that had nearly sent him over the edge. It was the fact that her own father was accusing him of doing those things to her. In the moment, he was sure that the verbal attack was directed solely at him, but...

Eli smiled, trying not to do anything but lay there and talk to her. He wanted to pull her over into his lap, like they had done in the truck, but he knew that the stitches were still fresh and one wrong move could pull them open again. He didn't want her thinking that she was responsible for...

Eli smiled warmly, seeing such an honest happiness in her eyes at seeing him awake. He gratefully took the glass of water and drank, though he did so too quick and ended up coughing a few times. Once he caught his breath, he squeezed his eyes shut as a sharp point of pain slid past the...
