[For Jaime.] Dinosaurs!

[lionelthayer]

After the whole tsunami warning and spending way too much time in a compound now practically overrun with people, Lionel needed to escape the damn place. He figured he might as well take a walk down to the beach and see what kind of damage there was, see if everyone down in the Hamlet was okay

Once the horses were settled and the worst of the storms had passed, Jaime had found himself wondering where certain people were. He also was curious about the dinosaurs. Keeping close to the treeline and keeping close to the side of the island that had been safe, he had seen several docile-looking beasts lumbering along and eating the landscape. Their size was enough to startle him, however.

When he heard the sound of two animals butting heads and the clicking of a familiar modern device, he headed further into the jungle. Good gods, what was Lionel doing? He strode forward quietly which was easily done since the terrain was sand and firmly tugged Lionel backwards once he was done taking another picture.

"What are you doing?" he asked as he glared balefully at the two dinosaurs and wondered if he ought to try killing one of them.

For a second, Lionel thinks maybe some other dinosaur's snuck up on him, but even after recognizing Jaime's voice his heart is still racing at double-time. He feels like if he gets any more shocks his heart is just going to give out soon enough.

"Christ, Jaime," he says, and closes his eyes as he catches his breath, "you scared me."

Jaime was vaguely proud of instilling some sort of fear in his friend's heart. He could scarcely recall the last time he'd successfully and stealthily crept up on someone. He moved to the other man's side and patted his shoulder briefly. "Sorry."

The dinosaurs were still staring at him with their beady eyes but it was their spiked domed heads that made him start to think leaving would be the best idea. He did not want to end up entirely crippled after all. "Are you done clicking your camera at them?"

"I think so," Lionel says, although the answer is a resounding yes. He has no qualms about stepping back and behind Jaime when the dinosaurs move closer to the trees, now more intent on looking at them than banging their heads together. "They can't get to us through the trees," he points out.
