[Action] Please don't rock my boat

[promisebreaker]

[ Peter is sitting cross-legged on the sand inland far enough that he's past the rising tide. He's got a stick in one hand and he's drawing something in the sand. He's very clearly focused on what he's drawing. Occasionally, he reaches up and blurs out what he's written with the heel of his hand then re-draws it.

If one stands over his shoulder and looks, his sand drawings are clearly plans for some kind of shelter. He's taking their mission seriously, not necessarily because it was dictated to them, but because he wants to be prepared. No one will be surprised that he was a boy scout when he was younger. ]

[ peter looks up more than a little irritated. ]

Actually, it was plans for a shelter so that when night comes, we've all got a place to sleep. Now, it's something I've got to start over.

[promisebreaker]

You missed the crazy office. [He sits back on his heels a bit.] Whether I believe it or not is irrelevant in regards to a shelter. I want a place to sleep tonight that's dry and protected from wind. I can worry about the kidnappers when that's finished.

[promisebreaker]

It's okay. [He points to his head.] It's up here.

[He turns to her a little.]

I'm Peter Parker. Local engineer, I guess. Except there's people here who are lots more qualified for this than I am.

[promisebreaker]

Uhm...yeah? Why? [ he doesn't see how being seventeen should exclude him from being an engineer.\

I mean...it's not what I do for a living. It's--I go to high school. Back home. I just--here, that's not really an option. At least not right now, and I can help out, so I should.

[ have a lopsided grin and a bit of a sheepish shrug. ]

Yeah...something like that. [ he glances around ]

A little interviewing and minor destruction to take your mind off it?
