"Charlie, we've been through this.  I have no problem with setting up some cave dwelling...for you or anyone else.  I just can't handle the thought of living in one.  Too much rock around me.   But if you want to give it a real try, we can check out your place.  What you really need in a cave ironically goes against what you think you want.  First, there should be an area with a natural chimney, so that you can build a fire without smoking yourself out.  Caves are damp and chilly.  Second, you should try to find a cave with more than one exit point, for obvious reasons..."<br/><br/>Elijah continued on talking about natural caves and various elements.  As was often the case, this "new" train of thought completely derailed his previous thoughts and he almost forgot why he was heading towards the beach, until he caught sight of Desmond.<br/><br/>"Thank God, Desmond.  Glad to see you're alright, where's Tony?"
