"Stop thinking I'm insane," she said sternly as she inspected Jethro through the whiskey bottle. She was trying to figure out if the water would have enough room to evaporate or if the water would just condense at the top and fall back into the mixture. At the mention of mangos, she lowered the bottle from her eyes and grinned.
"This god forsaken island never ceases to amaze me," she muttered and shook her head. "Mangos for tomorrow, we've got to pluck that bird. I'm starved," she stated and walked out onto the beach; she hadn't exactly realized they'd been walking that whole time and blinked when she looked at the ocean. Something seriously is wrong with me. After the salt idea wears off, I'll be better, she thought irritably to herself. She really was beginning to miss her sarcasm.
Suddenly tired from her outburst of excitement, she plopped down onto the sand next to their campfire spot. "Stress is getting to me," she muttered. "Give me a drink before I go insane, and would you rather I pluck the bird?" she asked dryly as she looked up at her companion.
Ooc; Iris...What is wrong with you? o_o

((My thoughts exactly. SO random XD))
Jethro made a face again and looked down at her. She must had sniffed some sort of wild mushroom or something because she was seriously acting weird. He reached intp his pocket and tossed her the flask, probably not the best idea. But maybe the burn would knock some sense into her. "Don't drink it all."
He sat down in the sand near to her and looked out towards the ocean. He didn't find the island stressful. Peaceful really, or atleast as peaceful as it could be for being stranded. It would probably be another week or two before they found the ship missing. He let out a breath and watched the island waves hit the shoreline. He looked down at his wrist before scratching his chest uncomfortably. He shot a look over at Iris for a moment before down at the bird, which he had begun plucking absent mindedly. "Hey gimme back my bourbon." He said looking over and reaching for the silver flask.

Ooc; I'll just blame those "mint" leaves. |D
Bic;
"Don't drink it all." Iris looked down at the flask that had landed on her lap. She stared at it a few moments before figuring what the hell, and flipped the top open. Allowing some of the contents to flow down her throat, she blinked as she felt the burn. Another tip back and Jethro was asking for it back; she capped it and tossed it to him before arching her back as she leaned down into the sand.
"Hurry up with that bird, would you?" she asked slowly and allowed her hand to fall into the sand as she looked curiously at Jethro. "We're like that bird, you know? Snared. Caught. We can't escape, it can't escape. Least I'm here with you and not alone," she babbled.

"Here, you do it then." Jethro said giving it to her after pulling out a chunk of feathers. "This *censored* is annoying." He said opening the cap of the flask and taking a swig thinking about what she said. She was right int a sense. "Yeah but a giant thumb didn't break our necks." he said jokingly taking another swig. Then an idea crossed his mind and he smiled coyly and looked over at her.
"Wait, do you mean to tell me you actually don't mind being on this island with me?" He asked his eyes glinting with laughter. He was just joking around but he honestly wanted to see her reaction. A few days ago they were at eachothers throats, now she was being nice.

Iris sat up and plucked a few of the feather's off of the bird. At Jethro's statement, well, she ignored it and finished pulling the feathers out. The conversation took an interesting turn when he asked his question and she held it out for him. "I think you have the knife, if I remember correctly."
"Would it be bad if I told you I like your presence here?" she asked. unsure of which territory she was crossing. "My sarcasm just wouldn't have the same affect on myself. And what about you, detective Jethro Reagan?"

((Lol, thanks XD))
Jethro looked over at her, not expecting it to become this awkard. He looked away and drank some more. "Sure beats being alone." He said, not really admitting to much. He put the bottle away and looked down at the bird in his hand, he didn't feel like gutting it but he had to."Well, I'm gonna go gut this near the tree there so theirs less of a mess." he said getting up and dusting his butt and heading for the tree line. "Get the fire ready." he called back. He really just wanted to get away from her. Sharing feelings, yeah not his thing.

When he turned his back to her, she watched him go for a moment and then pulled the lighter out of her pocket. She checked the liquid in it and was relieved to see that it was still more than half full. She hoped it was more gas that water, though. With that thought, she brushed a few more sticks into their campfire pit and lit a few of the drier ones. She blew on the embers and soon enough she got a good enough fire going.
She flipped the lighter over a few times in her hand before pocketing it again. Her gaze rested on the whiskey bottle from where she'd dropped it. She picked it up and surveyed the glass and peeled off the sticker indicating the company brand and tossed it to the side. She looked at the bottle and then to the waves.
Figuring that she may as well get the water in it tonight, she left the campfire in its little ditch and waded out into the water. Her short-shorts didn't get wet because they were so out of reach from the waves, but that didn't spare her legs. Chills made goosebumps appear on her arms. "Damn, it's cold at night," she breathed as she bent over to fill the whiskey bottle up.
She had come up to well above her knees just to fill the whiskey bottle. She should have realized that was a bad idea before she bent over because when she began to straighten, an enormous wave smacked her full in the face and she tumbled backward. Flailing wildly to push herself back to the surface, she finally found ground and managed to stagger out of the water. She blinked the stinging salt out of her eyes and looked down at the whiskey bottle still clutched tightly in her hands. It was still half full.
"Wonderful," she muttered through chattering teeth as she sat heavily down onto the sand. She wrapped her arms around herself and stared at the flames in the fire, ultimately wishing that the ditch was bigger and therefore could actually manage to heat her up.
Ooc; --Dumps a very cold and very wet Iris on Jethro-- ._.

((Wow, I thought of something dirty -.-'' Guy friends suck XP))
Jethro was preety happy to get away from Iris, he could at least admit that. He sighed and slit the bird open and shook out the inards, grunting as he watched pink intestines come out in a large string. he shook it out once more and thought about that awkward talk just now. He was happy he had Iris's company een if she could be slightly bi-polar. But he was honestly begin to wonder about what was really going on between them, he was begining to feel awkward around her and it wasn't a feeling he liked. He looked back down to make sure none of the birds blood had actually gotten on him. Thankfully none did so he cut a green branch and shoved the stick through small featherless creature.
Wipping his hand on his jeans he turned around and saw Iris sitting by the fire, visably trembling. "The hell?" he muttered as he walked towards her. "Hey what happened to you? Did you go for a midnight swim?" He asked sitting down next to her and looking over. SHe looked like a wet rat, not really but she looks pathetic sitting on the beach her teeth chattering like it was the middle of a canadian winter.

Ooc; I definitely meant to make it sound like that. xD //shot
Bic;
In actuality, her skin had begun to warm up, but her clothes were still soaked from the cold water off of the beach. The sun had long since dipped behind the clouds and had ceased to warm the waves. She held the whiskey bottle up to Jethro before plopping it into the sand with a sigh. "It's actually not midnight, really only about ten o'clock," she said as she looked up into the sky.
"And as for the obvious, I decided to go take a nice warm shower with my clothes on." Her eyes narrowed slightly, mossy green gaze turning a few shades darker from the firelight. "I went to get the whiskey bottle filled up with water and...fell," she muttered and an involuntary shiver crept up her spine. She looked down at her jeans and bit her lip, hoping that she wouldn't chafe her legs up too badly. If Jethro weren't there, she'd strip down to her undergarments, but since he was, she chucked that idea out the window.
"Shall we get that bird cooked? I need some warm food," she said.

((SOrry for taking so incredibly long, though I'm sure you probably forgot, but I thought I'd post anyways XP))
Jethro smiled slightly when she mentioned she fell, honestly women couldn't do anything. Though he wouldn't ever say the thought out loud, he enjoyed his life too much. As he shifted himself so he was sitting on the sand next to her, he nodded and looked down at the bird on a stick. Really the little thing would only feed her, and he could go for hours without food seeing as he was normally too lazy to actually make anything for himself. He handed it to her. "Here do what you want with it, I don't really need to eat." He said scratching at chest with his free hand.

Ooc; I check this every other day and don't mind waiting in the least. Edit; Middle of the night Jethro goes upstairs fer some reason and sees Iris in her undies. 8I //shot
Bic;
"You don't need to eat," Iris repeated as she cocked one brow upward. "Suit yourself, but don't complain to me when you wake up in the middle of the night with a very pissed off stomach," she said as she plucked the bird from his hands. She pulled off one of the wings, bones making audible pops when she twisted it free of the body. The grease ran down her fingers and she grimaced as she bit into the bland flesh. "Getting drenched will be worth it," she muttered, though her thighs were stating otherwise. Right now, she was clinging to the hope that she didn't rub her legs raw by tomorrow morning. But no way was she going to take her pants off with Jethro there.
So you'd risk yourself with an infection for the sake of saving your humility? Iris narrowed her eyes and took a chunk out of the bird's breast. After a few more bites, she finished it up. She dug a hole in the sand and plopped the bones in before filling the small gouge in the sand back up. She scanned the beach and her gaze rested on the shelter they'd found earlier. Of course, she thought to herself and blinked at Jethro.
"I'm going to sleep in the shelter we found tonight. You going to stay out here or get cozy on the bottom floor of our five-star hotel?" she asked as she stood up and rubbed some sand off of her arms; the particles had stuck to her legs from being wet. She suppressed a sigh and, without waiting for Jethro to answer, headed off toward their shelter.

"Yeah I'll just stay here-but you're already gone." Jethro sighed leaning back on his hands and looking out at the water. It was really nice here, to bad it was the middle of no where. After a few minutes of thinking of irrelevent topics, he stood up and dusted off his butt. He rubbed the back of his neck and walked into the cave, he was sure Iris had already made her way up to the top. He grunted and laid down onto the cave floor, resting his head on a sweater he had taken off of a body. He pulled his kids picture out of his pocket and sighed, wondering how long they had been on the island, he had forgotten. He made a mental note to ask Iris about it tomorrow.

Ooc; Mhm. :3
Bic;
When Iris made her way to the top room, she only had a moment to think of how selfish she'd been with claiming it. Then she weighed the pros and cons with the idea and decided it wasn't too big a deal. She glanced back at the "staircase" and frowned, and turned her gaze down to her sodden jeans. "I'm going to need to find some work-out shorts," she muttered and immediately thought of the dozen or so pairs she owned back at home. She'd even brought a few on the trip. Maybe I'll see if I can find my bag tomorrow, she thought to herself as she reluctantly slipped off the pants.
Her inner thighs were red and hurt like hell. She draped her pants over the edge of the opening to her little room, that also served as the window, and peeled off her shirt. "I swear to God, Jethro...," she muttered, already thinking about the obscenities she would yell at him if he happened to trudge up to her room. One look out the window was enough to cool her fraying nerves, and her green eyes softened as she looked up at the stars.
She knelt down and ran her fingers through her unkempt hair. "Good night, dad," she mumbled and curled up on her side.
---
Harsh sunlight made Iris roll on her side and smack into the cave wall. "What the--" she started as she opened her green eyes and half-sat up. "Hell," she muttered as she looked down incredulously at her almost bare body. Her first thought was that she'd somehow done something last night with Jethro, but then reality set in and she groaned. Out of habit, she allowed herself to fall back onto her bed, though it was just the cave floor and she ended up smacking her head against the flooring. "Good God," she muttered and rubbed her temples.
"Get a grip, Iris," she said to herself and staggered to her feet. She snatched her shorts from where they rested, thankful that they hadn't fallen to the sand below in the middle of the night. The salt made the jeans feel crinkly and stiff; Iris smacked them after pulling on her shirt. She made her way down the stairs and stopped halfway. "Detective, you up?" she asked as she poked her head around the corner and trotted down the rest of the stairs.

((Done something with Jethro XD LMFAO))
"Detective, you up?"
"You can bet your sweet ass." Jethro called not moving from his position on the floor. He craned his neck so that he was looking at the 'stairs' waiting for her to come down. It was awkward seeing as it was upside down. "Have a good sleep?" he asked though he stopped looking at the stairwell and looked back at the photo in his hands. He sighed and sat forward, turning slightly so that he couls slip the photo into his back pocket.

"Absolutely splendid," Iris replied and clapped her hands together as she walked the rest of the way downstairs. "Oh darling, we should really look into buying a vacation home here. It's absolutely marvelous," she cooed in a nasally, over-the-top glamorous voice. In other words, she was trying for the snooty old rich woman. Smirking to herself, knowing very well that Jethro couldn't see it, she made her way out of the cave and sighed as she felt the sun's rays warm her skin. She looked down at her arm and held it in front of her, and then pressed two fingers against the skin. Sure enough, the skin turned white when she removed her hands and fell back into a nice olive-toned color.
"Good thing I don't burn," she said as she dabbed her arms in a few more places. For once in her life, she was thankful for her otherwise dark complexion: natural slightly dark skin, raven locks, and mossy green eyes. She knew she wasn't the prettiest girl out there, nothing like those gorgeous blonde supermodels, but she always figured to hell with them. Her personality was what made her her.
"Shall we check the salt container? I believe I left it out last night," she called back into the cave as she waited for Jethro to come out.

Jethro smirked at her rich old coot voice, it was so completely random, but it was cute. He stood up and shook his hair before patting it back down so it was flat, glad that he didn't have longer hair, before following the younger girl out. Watching as she said something to herself while checking her skin.
"Shall we check the salt container? I believe I left it out last night,"
Jeth smiled slightly as he stepped out of the cave. "Stilll talking like that are we?" He said slipping his hands into his pockets. "I though you said to leave it in the sun? I'm pretty sure theres no sun in the night." He hated to put a damper on her obviously cheery mood.

"I wasn't trying to be funny," she muttered and then realized what Jethro had said. She rubbed the excess sleep out of her eyes with the palm of her hands and turned to face him. Her fingers ran up to her scalp and she managed to tear through the locks, only wincing once. "Yeah, you're right. So mangoes it is," she said and pointed toward the forest. She stayed there for a moment in an awkward silence, like something out of a very corny cartoon, before gesturing for Jethro to lead the way.
"Lead the way, Detective. You're the one that spotted 'em," she said.

Jethro repressed a snort of laughter before sracting at his chest as he began to walk. "I don't even remember where I saw them, I just happened to notice them while I was waiting for you." He said as the neared the treeline. "Maybe we should make our way back to the lake, then I can retrace my steps." He shrugged, "So you lead."

Ooc; Don't worry about it. xD And it starts the 21st for me. We go back on the 3rd. We need something embarrassing/intimate to happen to them. *thinks*...
Bic;
Iris shouldered her way past Jethro and hooded her hand over her eyes so she could see past the glare of the sun. Her skin still itched from the sunburn that couldn't be seen, and even the fact that she knew she'd be fine by midday, it didn't make it any less irritating. As she walked, she thought about all the things that could be seen on the optimistic side. A grin stretched up on her face and she shook her head. "Good thing I decided early that I didn't want kids," she said to herself, glad that she needn't worry about mother nature's calling anymore.
"We just followed the stream, right? But I think we traveled a bit to the right, so if we keep walking straight, I think we'll hit it eventually," she said, louder this time so Jethro could hear. "See any mangoes?" she asked as she pushed through a few tall ferns. Her eyes widened slightly as a forked tongue flicked out in her face. Yellow slitted eyes narrowed slightly as the snake dropped down lower from the branch it was coiled around.
Iris swallowed once and backed up slowly. "Jethro?" she asked, voice one octave too high. The snake twitched and Iris froze.
Ooc; Go go go, Jethro. 8I
