They'd only just met, and already she seemed to be acting towards him as a girl might act towards a new boyfriend or crush. It was then that he realized just what his and his companions arrival on this island meant. The girls had been stranded here, for three years apparently, with no men. It was hard enough for him to imagine what being without a woman for that length of time would be like, let alone being able to imagine how the women must feel. Perhaps seeing a man for the first time was making her notice just how much she'd missed them.<br/><br/>Leaving his hand in hers as they walked, he glanced around the area around them. <strong>"So this is an island you say? How big is it? You mentioned a river I think, so obviously fresh water isn't an issue. What about food? How do you girls manage with that?"</strong> He was really interested to see how they'd handle things here. He'd been a fan of the television show 'Lost' for sometime, though more so for the survival aspects then any of the crazy conspiracy theory parts. <strong>"Obviously you girls have prospered while you've been here. I'm really interested to see what all you've accomplished."</strong><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Emily just shook her head, she knew she would have to face these questions. She should have just pretended to grunt and bark, that way she could have avoided the barrage of questions he had. She sighed and started, "Yes it is an island, it takes just over a full day to get to one side of the island to the other. We have a river, but it's not like the Mississippi or anything, it's  a decent size. As for food, well  we get by on eating off the land. We figured out what's safe to eat and what's not. There is some wild fowl and some game on the island. After three years, we have figured how and where to catch things. We also get fish from the outer beaches. Does that answer everything?" Emily realized then that she was pulling him along, maybe he wasn't comfortable with that. She quickly dropped his hand and then continued walking. "We should be there soon."
