Heloise studied Oliver when he deliberately it seemed, stood next to her, and gave an overly obvious wink. [i]one of those play boy types, it seems. Would it be more amusing to play along, or put him down straight away? If I play along, I give the image of a love sick girl, who will then kick their butts in everything. If I dont, I maintain my self esteem.[/i]

It wasn't a hard choice, at least not for her. She simply said, in a monotone voice [b]"you should have got that tic checked out before coming on here. I imagine it must be terribly annoying to have that twitch in your eye"[/b] she gave a smile that could be considered sweet, and looked over when Ned talked.

Didn't he consider the fact that the helicopter could be going that way to throw them off? She looked about, studying everything and watching the other contestants. If no one was going to speak up against this, should she? She debated that, and Ren said, her voice soft now, almost thoughtful [b]"how do we know yet aren't trying to trick us, doing that with the helicopter?"[/b]

But Ned had already headed off. She sighed heavily, deciding to label him a fool, for now. To her, the most important thing to find was water. They could dehydrate pretty quickly, and then where would that leave them? So looked at the contests still there and said, again in that same thoughtful tone [b]"I think we need to find water, first. Drinkable water. And then we can follow it down stream. Camps, towns, cabins and such tend to be down the current, that way there's a supply of fresh water constsntly"[/b] while she knew this was a competition, she didn't want anyone to die. And right now it seemed like safety in numbers was important.
