Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aleister paused, when she said she was going to take a nap. "Uh..... okay, but won't you fall over if you're standing up?" He asked glancing behind him looking a bit.... unsure of this idea.

He hoped that Caelius wouldn't start yelling. He rubbed his head. Maybe they could grab some rest after whatever they needed to do here. "If Caelius comes around I will elbow you though."

"That's fine," Syd said. "It's like sleeping... sitting up..." and then a tiny little sigh escaped her, proving that she was asleep, her head leaning against his back. How and where she'd learned to sleep sitting up was a question in itself--that she was managing to do it while standing was downright talented.

"Oh, uh! It's ah...!" Granted the whole escape-from-probable-death had left everyone in tatters, but it never paid to tell a girl that. Jerry went red as attention shifted to him, tapping his fingertips together before nervously pretending to attempt to clean his glasses. The cracked lens gave an ominous tinkle and he paled. Well... well it was... mostly okay? "Oh... Butterscotch." Grimacing, he put them back on, only to have a shard fall to his feet. Well... if he was careful maybe it would...

Well, he still had one lens left at least.

"He's a cute kid when he's not being a creep," Jordan said, laughing. Okay, so he might not be that much older than Dakota, but still.

He blushed again, but smirked, and leaned a little towards Clerise, speaking more quietly to be sure he wasn't overheard. "Because we're all too wound up for that to be a good idea." Then, more seriously, "Gotta figure out where we stand with each other before getting too public with things. Rep's skittish enough about guys as it is."

Sasha just kept on smiling. Maybe Ami had had more luck with being able to keep up appearances while on their mission? First the sand, then the snow, and now this muggy, sticky jungle. It wasn't a very pleasant state of affairs, but then again.. Sasha hadn't really signed up for pleasant.

Obviously, or else she wouldn't be here.

"Maybe once we get back and I c-can take a nice, long shower, I do-don't know." She continued smiling blankly before she turned to peer at Jerry.

A rather horrified expression contorted Sasha's features as she watched his glasses just.. disintegrate.

"Oh, Jerry," Sasha shook her head as she pursed her lips. "What will we do now?"

It was much too hot to offer Candace an actual hug - and even holding hands made his palms a bit sweaty, but not enough that it was uncomfortable.

And besides, it was something that not just Candace needed.

Gale squeezed her fingers, very gently, as she lay her head on his shoulder, as if to say You don't need to say anything at all.

I am here for you.

He wondered how much longer they would be here, waiting to go wherever it was that Caelius directed them. But it seemed as though they were losing someone at every step of the way. First Julie, then the Doctor - though his death was yet unconfirmed - who would be next?

Gale's eyes moved across the people in the crowds. His eyes flickered towards Eva, a flush that had nothing to do with the heat dusting his cheeks briefly. His gaze passed to Bix, to Before, to Molly, to Marcus, to Jordan, to everyone.

No one. I don't want to lose anyone else.

It was too bad that wish would never be able to stay true.

"Exactly, my fellow perv in hiding."

I bet you're so mad at me right now. Sorry, Captain~ It's gonna get worse.

"Oh really now, well." Rep being all worked up made sense, at least. He had boarded the hurt butt express, first class ticket. Hell, he had nearly been the engineer. She clucked her tongue a little, wondering which one of them was in the middle. If there was a 'middle' person.

This was not the time or place for what little wisdom she had to impart. "I'd say fill me in after you bitches, but I may ask that one." She jabbed her thumb in Rep's direction. "He might kill me as is," Clerise mused. "Especially since I just pointed at him. Kind of waiting for him to forcibly haul me away, really."

Well, they had a few minutes, it looked, so she'd just.... god, she didn't know. She'd go see if she could talk to Marcus for a little bit. Just for a little while, A status check even. Just to make sure he was holding up and all.

She approached the older hunter and carefully tucked her arm into the crook of his, half leaning against him as she looked up at him, tilting her head slightly.

"Hey." she greeted quietly, a shy smile on her face.
