Dino stopped for a moment and looked at the tree. Feeling the bark he looked at it and felt its leaves. Looking back at Rose he watched and leaned on the tree as she flipped through the pages. "Your not going to find a ant in this tree. Dont you remember? In one of our classes we read about it. Its one of the safest tree's in Africa! Theres not going to be another like it for miles." Turning around he finished the nest, climbed in it and looked toward Rose again. "Anyone else wanna make one?"
Rose looked up at Dino "Of course!" she said embaresed. She climbed up in the tree and found another spot in the tree she started pulling branches off and copied what Dino had done "I can't beleive I didin't remember that!" she said to him.
Lacie at them and twirled her hair around her finger as she watched them. "Are you sure those are safe? They look kinda unsafe."she said to Dino and Rose. Looking at the other people in their group she watched to see if they would follow suit. "If something comes we will be stuck in that nest but if we make something ground we won't be."

Aven rolled his eyes. "You guys go ahead and sleep in a tree like birds. I'm sure they'll hold all your weight, especially since you're totally feather weights." He eyed them before letting his gaze linger on Dino's well built frame and back to the slender tree. Uh-huh. That would work out real swell. "Anyway, I'll be staying in the plane. I'm sure I can survive for the rest of the day without sweating myself into a prune." He nodded to the rest of the questionable survivalists before moving into the wreckage. It was already getting warm, but most of it was from the oppressive heat from outside, not from the sun heating the metal. He paused, before he poked his head back out. "I suggest you guys get some sleep, since we'll be walking basically the whole time," Aven called before moving back inside.
Despite his own advice, he wasn't that sleepy--and there was still plenty of time until evening--so he decided to dig through his own pack to prioritize his items. There was some emergency blanket thing that he decided would make a good shelter for him once they had to sleep outdoors. Aven continued to pore over his supplies, packing, repacking, and packing yet again until the items were in the order he wanted them.

Lacie followed behind Aven quietly as he made his way to the plane. "Aven"putting her hands in her back pockets she continued to follow. "Do you mind if I hang out with you? Frankly I don't want to be the one to snap tree." Sitting down on a broken air plane seat she watched him quietly pack and unpack his things. "Why do you insist on repacking? You already know what's in the pack." Turning her large hazel eyes to hims he waited for a reply.

"Maybe because he wants everything in the optimal position to take it out?" Lucia asked, stepping in. "Either way, you shouldn't be criticizing him if you don't even have a useful pack of items. Oh, but wait, don't tell me, you still have some eyeliner left over after the plane crash? Puh-lease. Get with the deal. We're lost in Africa. AFRICA. If you even WENT to college, and didn't forge a degree, you'd know that you shouldn't be acting like we're in New York City and best buds and we just met up after six years. It's life or death out there. Now, I don't plan on getting eaten, and I don't think Aven does either. Figure out what you're planning for yourself," Lucia snapped. It was just irking her, that a few of the zoologists with PHDs didn't survive.

"It is the way of the Creed. Usually our deaths are violent but quick."
"Look I was just asking okay? Mind your own business. Nobody says buds anymore and plus I doubt you have any friends. I have done nothing to you so you have no reason to jump on me."Lacie snapped back as she dropped her pack. She wasn't very intimidating so she doubted the chick infront of her would back off. "Now if you would like to start of with a hello my name is I would be more than happy to introduce myself but if not you can get out of my face."

Aven turned and glanced at the brown haired girl. Lacie, wasn't it? He noted her appearance with a raised eyebrow but said nothing, instead opening his mouth to say something he sincerely hoped would be witty. "No one's stopping you. 'Hang out'? Go--" He only got that far before Lucia cut in. The redhead was genuinely stunned into silence for a second before he painted confusion onto his face. Under that, though, he was dealing with several emotions at once. Although he couldn't safely identify all of them, he could safely say that he felt smug--whatever for, he couldn't be quite sure, but the fact remained that the irritating feeling sat there under the life that was his mask.
He shrugged and after Lucia was done he simply drawled, "Why can't I have OCD?" He grinned widely at the girl. To be sure, it was much simpler than the emerald eyed girl's "Maybe because he wants everything in the optimal position to take it out?"--which, as much as he hated to admit it, he found extremely amusing. Aven looked slightly startled as the brown haired girl spoke sharply back and he stood abruptly. "Don't fight, please. It gives me a headache. Although I don't object when I'm fighting..." Aven shrugged and grinned again, glancing at the other two. "But that's just me."

"Hello, my foot. I've got friends that can actually keep an intelligent conversation going and who don't carry eyeliner to a safari trip in Africa! I'll start respecting you when you start deserving it." Lucia was one to be easily irritated, and she was not about to stop. Luckily for her, with her upbringing and a troublesome highschool, her mind was about as quick as her mouth when it came to witty or smart replies. "If you're done beating on the only people who are going to get you out of this jungle alive, then go outside and bother the remaining sanity out of your bird friends." She turned back to Aven, calmly, as if nothing had happened, and asked, "Did you take the last blanket?"
Ooc: Ah, I love troublesome characters~ x3

Lucia apparently wasn't going to stop. Oh well. At least it meant that Lacie could offer her own comeback if she wanted to. It was only fair, right? "Yeah. The dead guy's pretty cheap, really. Only had one. Why? Did you need it for something?" Aven glanced pointedly at the pack, now lying on the ground with the smaller contents lying on the ground of the plane. With a sigh he sat down with a thump and packed it back in before snapping the bag shut to prevent more items from making their getaway. He picked it up--by the gods it was getting heavy; what was it now, six, seven pounds?--with his left hand and propped it on one of the seats to prevent anything from getting on it. He simply hated his things to get dirty. A stray breeze teased through the open door and cooled the cabin--right before the results of being dead touched his nose.
"That's disgusting," he snarled, standing up. Maybe staying in the plane wasn't that bad, and the man hadn't even been dead long enough for him to decompose, but some other side effects of being dead weren't as nice. Aven didn't even want to go see what the damage might be but instead opted to slam the door between the pilot's cabin and the passenger cabin shut, hoping to keep the stench contained within the particular area. Another gust and most of the scent was gone. It was now that Aven wished he kept smelling salts on him. A friend had insisted on giving him a packet--who knew why--but he had left the packet at home. He was starting to regret it now.
