Maria<br/>Location: Campsite, Giga's tent<br/>Summary: Learning that there are far worse things then spending the night with a gentle giant.<br/>Tagged: Noah, Giga.<br/><br/>Maria gave a slight squeal when Giga lunged with his knife scrambling back a bit. She looked to Noah when she saw the scorpion on the knife. She watched as Giga tossed the dead critter away. He had just saved Noah's life, and likely hers since a scorpion could sting more than once. She let out a sigh of relief, glad that she was not going to have to watch her new friend die on the first night of knowing him.<br/><br/>Anything she had planned on saying died in her throat though when a new man approached. The way the man spoke and the way Noah moved in front of her made her see rather quickly that the man was bad news. She made a mental note to avoid him, and the Chris that he mentioned. She set her hand on Noah's shoulder, it was nice of him to move to protect her but she did not think the man would be much trouble with Giga there. She was quickly shown to be right as Giga took care of the man.<br/><br/>She gave Noah a soft squeeze as he hugged her, his hand on her hair was soothing. The color that had drained away as Giga had deafened the red heads returned at the quick kiss. She took a deep breath and offered a weak smile then followed Noah into Giga's tent.<br/><br/>She too froze up at the sight of Giga naked. She placed a hand on each of Noah's shoulders and gave a soft squeeze. She leaned in and let her lips rest against his ear. "It'll be alright." She whispered. She smiled slightly and took a step to the side. She made eye contact with him and started to tug off her shirt giving him the time to match her actions. She had to admit that if they were to synchronize undressing she would feel better.
