Without Hope

Tyler pinned his ears, keeping still and watching her, his muscles taught.

Evangeline stood on a log to place the leaves atop the hut, tucking them in, yelping when the log rolled away and she sprawled on the ground.

Shibia slowly circled him but was not sure what she was to do. Her Afircna wild dog was by nature a social creature.. and wanted a comapion... but he was a different species... her body posters was confused and a bit agressive

Crozen quickly stopped the log and moved to help Evangeline "We need help fixing this."

Tyler's eyes followed her. He relaxed slightly when she didn't attack him, but still didn't move, only his head following her.

Evangeline sat up, shaking her head to clear it. "Yup. Sorry, didn't build it well the first time I tried, did I?"

Shibia slowly started to relax. and stopped circling him... and even sat down

Crozen said "Well then lets fix it up."

When she sat down, Tyler pricked his ears once more, standing back up on all fours, rather than crouching, sitting down, his eyes on her.

Evangeline frowned "How?" she said, standing up and brushing herself off.

Shibia was not sure what to think of Tyler

Crozen said "well not sure on that."

Tyler watched her, unsure what animal she was, or even if she was like him. After a moment, he lay down, setting his head on his paws and watching her, showing he didnt mean harm.

Evangeline half smiled "Well, at least Connor and Shivvri are coming tomorrow to help. They'll know how."

Shibia finally became unstessed enough that she shifted back to human form

Crozen nodded "i hope so their place looked pretty good."

Evangeline nodded "Amazing," she said, going and sitting back down on the hammock, falling back with a sigh.

Tyler jumped up, with a slight yelp, he hadn't been expecting that. So he shifted back himself, stumbling a bit, he wasn't very good at swiching from four to two legs gracefully.

Crozen smiled "lets rest some." he slipped int he tother hamick

Shibia jerked "you are human too?"

Evangeline nodded, her head hanging over the edge of the hammock, as she stared at the wall of the hut, her hair pooled on the ground.

Tyler shrugged, and nodded "I wasn't sure you were, so I stayed.... doglike."

Crozen checked her out some

Shibia said "i got startled.."

Evangeline saw him looking and smiled "What?" she said.

Tyler shrugged "Me too. Didn't expect to see anybody. I mean, i was looking for somebody, but I didn't expect I'd find anyone."

Crozen said "I am just admiring you"

Shibia siad "you found me."

Evangeline could feel a blush creeping up her cheeks, but didn't turn her eyes away, returning his gaze with a number of emotions in her eyes.

Tyler frowned "You're the only one?" he asked.

Crozen smiled "you are something nice to rest the eyes on.. you have a good figure."

Shibia said "That i know of."

Evangeline knew for a fact she was blushing now, and glanced away for a moment. "You're no pain to the eyes either," she said, trying to keep her voice level.

Tyler sighed, looking at the ground. " I was hoping to find somebody with a boat. So i could get off this floating rock."

Crozen grinned "That is good to know."

Shibia said "i don't like boats... don't know why i don't."

Evangeline glanced back at him. She was starting to feel a bit lightheaded, but she didn't care. It seemed to dull the pounding of her in-heat clouded leopard in the back of her skull.

Tyler shrugged "Water? Maybe you can't swim."

Crozen said "i want to look good for you."

Shibia said "i can swim.. tried..i just don't like boats."

Evangeline smiled "Is you looking good supposed to turn me on or something?" she asked.

Tyler frowned "I'm not sure if I can swim. That's another thing. I can't remember anything before this island. Can you?"

Crozen said "i think it helps."

Shibia said "neither can i."

Evangeline smiled "Maybe a bit," she said, setting her chin on her hands, her hair falling over her face a bit.

Tyler sighed "Then we're stuck here. Drat. Well, I'm Tyler. What's your name?"

Crozen smiled "i thought so." he glanced at her again enjoying her

Shibia said "Shibia... i am Shiba. And this language is hard.." she said "Like i knew another one before... one i can't quite remember."

Evangeline looked down at the ground, lifting her chin off her arms so she could push her hair back behind her ear.

Tyler frowned "Splaken ze doutch?" he tried. He didn't know what language it was, but he could try some words that came to his mind. "umm, Habla espanol? Parle francais?"
