[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. ]

Oh. No. High school student. I just like putting things together.

Bet your teacher's a fan. [ And he might be, a little. Smart people are usually interesting. ]

What're you thinking of using to build it?

[promisebreaker]

Uhm...yeah? I mean, I guess. I never...maybe.

[ Oh, well that's a question he can answer. ]

Palm trees for a grame. Maybe leaves for walls and a roof with vines for holding it all together. That's what they use in books and on TV. Right?

[ The design makes sense, more or less. Though, one thing does catch his attention. ]

"Tee vee"? [ What is? ]

Uhm it's...entertainment. A box with...stories and pictures in it. Sort of.
