When he walked away she sighed, she saw the blush and knew that all of this was making him feel way too exposed. Silently she watched him go, noting the direction so if she needed to go after him later it wouldn’t be so hard.  Donovan’s voice crackled to life and pulled her from her thoughts. Smiling she glanced toward the ship, good ole Ozzy.  A thrill of excitement wound its way through her body at seeing the things he collected. She responded with a soft, “Can’t wait to get my hands on those samples.” And was letting go of the button and sketching again.<br/><br/>Frankie blinked at him and gave him a thought, he could help her keep a look out for David and he knew the land better already. Seeing him alone she paused in her work and ambled to his side with a full canteen. “Here, take this with you… it’s the fresh stuff.” She sank beside him, crouching so her ass was pressed into her heels. “When you go back out, can you keep an eye out for David…? I don’t want him to get hurt or lost.” She wasn’t embarrassed by the care she showed for him, it would be that way for any of them.<br/><br/>Giving his shoulder a gentle pat of thanks she stood. “Let me know before you go, I’ll point you in the direction he went.” She smiled down at him before moving quickly back to the tables. It was a job and though her curiosity about the land had been peaked the moment she stepped from the ship, she knew she and James had to keep everyone safe. The items that were deemed safe were gathered and samples passed around for all to taste. The fruit James had given her, for example, David should have been there to taste. It was delicious and only he would know what to make with it. Like assisting James both jobs she was no expert at.<br/><br/>Frankie took each folder given to her and placed them in their proper spot, each new discovery made her heart leap. It was all a dream the day before; never had she ever thought this would come true. Biting her lower lip she thought of David, he’d want his privacy and though they were friends she respected that. Her tent would house her alone tonight, Alice and James, Ozzy and Jane. The sigh that left her lips was a bit sad, someday someone would ask her to share their space… but until the she’d just keep plucking along. Why rush something that needed such care anyway? The thought made her smile; it was something her mother had always said… too bad she didn’t make it to see it happen.
