As he put one cracker between his lips and sucked on it, a low please mmmm rumbled in his chest too. As he tugged it into his mouth with his tongue he glanced over at Arlene, thinking to thank her. Seeing her face, he wondered if she'd picked up the humour in his line. "You sure you can spare this, Arlene? Come on have a bit of salt on your tongue." Lucas moved closer to the fire once it was going properly, and offered a cheez-it over to Arlene between finger and thumb. The line was perhaps cruder than his best, but Lucas figured it was better to work out if the woman found such joke funny or not while he was still figuring out the group as a whole.<br/><br/>"Sounds really rough, Jim. Even in times like this, some people are such assholes. It's why people with manners like us gotta stick together." He stared into the fire, sneaking another cracker from the bag before putting it somewhere Jim or Arlene could reach for it. "Some people these days, are scared of crawlers, but not of death, I swear. Glad you learnt to swim though." A small smile as Lucas leant close to the fire, still some shivers, but feeling much more alive.<br/><br/>Lucas nodded along to Arlene's tale, turning his head to glance when she mentioned skinny-dipping before turning back to the fire with a sheepish grunt. "More uncomfortable for some of us than others, maybe. Though flapping in the wind isn't great. Shit though, a hot bath sounds magical right now." He rolled his shoulders, and sagged a little. "Rough for you too though, if you are here and not there."<br/><br/>As Jim got up, Lucas looked up. "Thanks, man. For everything." He said in simple honest gratitude, a little tired. "Hopefully in the morning we can sort stuff out. Find a way on, right?" Sitting back he stuck his legs out towards the fire, holding his frog on a stick over the heat. "If we are doing a round the fire meet and greet, anything you want to ask us guys, Arlene?"
