It's just been a hell of a day. Objectively, Rollie's seen worse. Way worse. He's probably even seen worse during his time on the island. But Jack's screams still echo inside his head as he finally heads home from the clinic, desperate for something to take his mind off it all for a little while

Karen's been hanging around her hut most of the day, playing quiet little solitary games but, when she hears Rollie come home, she pads over, bare feet and a fairy costume.

She stands in the doorway, twisting this way and that on one foot.

"...That's a lot of beer."

"That is a lot of beer," agrees Rollie. Beer, beer and more beer. "And yet, somehow still not enough." He turns to look at her. "What on earth are you wearing?"

"How much is enough beer?" asks Karen, and then she looks down at her dress.

"It's my fairy costume," she says, with an eloquent roll of her eyes. "You've seen it before."

"I'm not sure there's any such thing as enough beer," he admits. "Yes, but it's... I don't expect you to be running around in it just to play." Well, actually, that's just the sort of thing he should expect from Karen.
