Dinah watches Marcus' and Jake's investigation of the racks, nodding in agreement.  She finds herself watching Jake's sweat-soaked t-shirt for a moment longer than she'd have let herself under normal circumstances.  God, she hoped that she wasn't having some kind of apocalypse-repopulation reaction... they didn't teach that in psych 101.<br/><br/>She's still thinking about this when Marcus makes his comment about the cupboard, and though she's listening, she can't help but react to the ludicrous train of thought in her mind...<br/><br/>It's a few seconds before she realizes that she's laughing out loud, the sound a<i>little</i>crazy, sure, but she's still a young woman, she's exhausted, and she has a nice laugh, so the echoing of her voice in the catacomb of the hardware store is probably not<i>TOTALLY</i>creepy.<br/><br/>"Oh... I'm sorry."  She laughs again, breathier this time.  "I just though something-- weird-- never mind."  She breathes deeply through her nose, steadying herself, then blows the air out through pursed lips.  "Yeah-- Jake, it's going to be hot as hell.  I usually start sleeping on top of the covers by the middle of May."  She shrugs.  "Sorry-- there's probably some fans and air conditioners, but unless we get a genny running, we're not going to be able to run any of them."  She points with one hand in a lazy gesture toward the racks.  "I'm good with going up there.  Tomorrow, we can move concrete and mortar bags... that kind of stuff... reinforce that-- thing."  She waves her hang generally in the direction of the barricade.  "God, what a day."<br/><br/>She nods to Marcus.  "Let's go raid the cushions if there is a couch."  She grins.  "Tomorrow, we can drain the sprinkler system for water.  Wish there was a damn shower.  But we can get some canvas, layer that up... tarps, something.  Just..."  She looks back up at the racks again.  "I don't want to fall of of there..."  she starts to ask something, seems to hesitate, reconsider.  She shakes her head softly.<br/><br/>"Kristie--" watching the Marine gear up for the night's watch, she sighs.  "Thanks for taking the first watch."
