Maddi sighed, it was always down to her in the end, and feeling like this, she did wish.......  But there was no changing people, that she'd learned the hard way.  She stood up, stretching, and put a load more wood on the fire.  She smiled at Elijah and walked over to the pile of pans, she grabbed the largest, if the boys weren't going to dig a fire pit she'd have to clean and cut up the fish ready for cooking.  Then there was fresh water to get, more firewood and some veggies or fruit too..... she appreciated Des' viewpoint, but she knew that staying healthy when they were so far from medical aid was an absolute necessity.<br/><br/>"I'll go prep the fish guys, and leave you to it. Elijah can tell you all about how he gave me a new life, one with him in it."  she squeezed Elijah's shoulder reassuringly, kissing him on the top of his head, before hoicking the fish up once more on her shoulder and taking that and the pan down the beach towards the sea.
