She was not going out in that water.  No way, no how.

It wasn't that she didn't know how to swim - she loved to swim, so long as it was in a pool.  But the ocean was just a big puddle of death waiting for her to dip her toes in to swallow her whole.  She would rather starve to death than get eaten by a shark or be grated like cheese upon the coral.

The island they'd been launched on was tiny and had nothing in they way of life-sustaining flora such as she could see the other islands sported, but that was where she was going to stay until she had no other choice.

"And what's stopping you from taking the plunge? Afraid of the water?"

She was not in a pleasant mood and right now, she didn't care if it got her killed. She'd woken up on the wrong side of the bed. And Derek wasn't here to be the voice of reason since she'd been too slow to help him.

She pursed her lips, narrowing her eyes at this other woman. "I was checking to see if anything was left behind, actually. And to make sure there weren't Tributes still hanging around half-dead and begging for mercy."

To punctuate that, she glanced to the body nearest her feet and stabbed downwards hard, impaling it with her spear and guaranteeing death. Her eyes remained on Emily - an unspoken threat, of sorts.

"If you're trying to intimidate me, you'll need to try harder..." she replied matter-of-factly. She almost wanted to laugh...it was hard to see this girl as threatening after all the UNSUBs she'd stared down.

"I don't really care if you find me intimidating. I'm here, and I don't have any other options that I can see," she paused, glancing around the immediate area.

"You might have shelter, but I don't think you're going to find any food or water around here."
