Emmet nodded and tried to smile, he didn't want to make people uncomfortable around him. It was just hard though..... people at seventeen shouldn't have to deal with death! It was a botched life altogether.<br/><br/>"Sounds good to me. Though I think we will need to figure out some way to get water here faster.... most of the kids here don't have enough strength to carry a lot of water. I will try to think of something, maybe take a look at the plumbing. If we are really lucky it is a minor problem that can be cleared."<br/><br/>Emmet shrugged, he had no experience with this stuff. The high school he did have wasn't enough to help in this type of situation. He wished he could do more.<br/><br/>Emmet ate his food and looked around, he saw Aria walk in, he turned a slight shade of red but it was covered quickly, he didn't think anyone would notice. Emmet had liked Aria.... a lot but he never let on about it. For some reason he refused to let himself fall in love. Did he not want to hurt? Was he selfish? He didn't want to fall in love and then be taken away. No the selfish thing to do would be to express his feeling make her fall for him then die. She didn't have a long life either! She didn't need to deal with this. Emmet held back a tear, he wasn't going to be weak.
