[hr]
As they walked back inside, Zeke spotted Nancy walking out of a room. Zeke assumed that was were the ham radio was. [color=#EEE8AA]”Oh hey, Nancy. You got a minute?”[/color] he asked, squeezing Demi’s hand before he let it go and jogged over to his sister. He didn’t mind if Demetri followed. If Nancy was busy, he would ask Demi how to work it. [color=#EEE8AA]”I wanted to ask about the ham radio and talk about the rooming situation.”[/color] 

Nancy raised an eyebrow, noting the fact that Zeke had been holding Demi’s hand. That had developed quickly. Although, she hadn’t noticed much hesitation on Demi’s side, so if her brother had given him the signal to go-ahead… she was a little surprised she was seeing Zeke at all, that the two of them weren’t [i]exploring[/i] one of the other cabins together. [color=9370DB]“What about it?”[/color] she asked him, crossing her arms. [color=9370DB]“I’m sure Demi can catch you up on the radio when you’re rooming together.”[/color]

Zeke's face fell a little. [color=#EEE8AA]”Oh, I thought you could teach me, and we would room together… Besides, Aster and I are trying to clean up the main space today. We might get another cabin done today, but I'm not sure.”[/color]

She blinked, stunned for a moment. Had she read the entire situation wrong? She’d been confident that her brother would want to share a cabin with Demi, they’d walked back in here holding hands after all. And if he had wanted to learn the radio, he would have come to get the information from Dobbs, right? The bubble of anger in her chest deflated somewhat. [color=9370DB]“You want to room with me?”[/color] she repeated back at him. [color=9370DB]“Why? I thought you’d want to spend time with your boyfriend. If it’s because you’re scared I’ll seize, I’m fine. I’m not a porcelain doll.”[/color] She kept her arms crossed.

Zeke glanced back at Demetri, smiling a little and shrugged. [color=#EEE8AA]”I'll spend time with him, too, but I don't know. You've always been my roommate.”[/color] He smiled a little at his sister. [color=#EEE8AA]”I know you aren't, Nanc but I still worry.”[/color] It was like they could te her seizures. They sort of came and went. 

[color=9370DB]“So he is your boyfriend then?”[/color] Nancy raised an eyebrow, as she smirked slightly. [color=9370DB]“Good to know. I’ll start looking for wedding venues. Maybe there’s a nice spot here on the lake.”[/color]

Zeke grinned, looking at Demi before his face flushed. [color=#EEE8AA]”Oh my god, Nancy no. Why!?”[/color] Zeke whined. 

Nancy couldn’t help but cackle slightly. [color=9370DB]“I’ve always wanted a second brother,”[/color] she teased. [color=9370DB]“And romance isn’t in the cards for me, so I’ll have to live vicariously through you.”[/color]

Zeke threw his arm around Nancy's shoulders, grinning. [color=#EEE8AA]”I wouldn't expect anything less from my favourite sister.”[/color]

[color=9370DB]”Nor I from my second favorite brother.”[/color]

[color=#EEE8AA]”Second favourite!? You've replaced me that quickly, huh?”[/color]

Nancy shrugged. [color=9370DB]”Demi learned how to use the radio.”[/color]

Ezekiel pouted. [color=#EEE8AA]”Well ya, but you can teach me. Do you honestly think I'd let anyone be next to you while you seize, and have some stranger there when you wake up?”[/color] Zeke shook his head. [color=#EEE8AA]”Never in a million years, but I am glad so many learned to use it.”[/color]

She smiled slightly at that. There really wasn’t anyone else she wanted around when she was seizing - or when she woke up. She was pretty lucky, Zeke had almost always been there. And even though it would have been too easy for her to be seriously injured, she never had been. She leaned her head on his shoulders. [color=9370DB]”Demi even took notes,”[/color] she added. [color=9370DB]”Would you trust him?”[/color]

[color=#EEE8AA]”Really?”[/color] Zeke looked out after Demi, impressed by his initiative and attention to detail. [color=#EEE8AA]”Ya, I think I might. As long as you do.”[/color] Zeke glanced at his sister, smiling. She was the most important person to him. He wouldn't trust many with her care. 

[color=9370DB]“I know. I didn’t even know he knew how to write,”[/color] she joked. As to whether or not she trusted Demi? Unclear. He knew how to use the radio, yes, but she doubted he knew much else. [color=9370DB]“If you teach him how, then maybe.”[/color]

[color=#EEE8AA]”I can let him know if you're comfortable with that,”[/color] Zeke said with a smile and a nod.

She shrugged slightly. [color=9370DB]“Sure - why not? If he’s going to be crashing our trips, he might as well know.”[/color]

Zeke chuckled and nodded. [color=#EEE8AA]”I mean everything is still new, but you never know.”[/color]

[color=9370DB]“I’ll have to take a look into your love life, then. We can do some tarot readings later.”[/color]
