Regan gave a happy smile to the boy before nodding lightly. She just wanted him to open up to people a bit more... and she knew he was scared, but it'd be good for him, it really would. A happy-looking grin formed on her face when the other girl came over, and she looked about ready to start chatting, but Lily got in quicker. She looked elated when she was introduced to her, but her happy expression quickly dropped when she just seemed to get ignored. She just went quiet and let him talk... if the girl wanted to take Tyler for a walk, she wouldn't stop him. Lily didn't have to like her, even though it did sadden her a little bit. She nodded when he looked to her. "Go on, I'll go grab some food," she offered lightly.

Tyler nodded slowly. He looked back to Lily. "Okay then..." Tyler answered quietly, shifting on his better foot.

-

Lily grinned at him. "Great! We can learn SO much about each other im sure we will both LOVE IT" she squealed. Lily started off walking through the trees, away from the campsite.

-

Tyler felt.. sick. Maybe if she didn't squeal, didn't squeak, and didn't talk so loudly... they could get along well. He followed quietly, listening to Lily's chatter.

-

"So, you are Tyler, okay. How tall are you? You look really tall. Do you have a girlfriend? Did you before this happened? Did you ever like someone? What was your family like? Was your dad as buff as you? Was your mom slim and pretty? Did you have a sister? Do you have a brother? How old are you?" Lily fired off questions like a speedy rocket launcher

-

Tyler opened his mouth and closed it again. He didn't really know what to think of this... why did she want to know all this? He'd known her for THREE MINUTES. She was already talking his ear off. Tyler promised to himself never ever ever to call Regan 'chatty' again. She was mint ice scream compared to... this. "Er... well... I'm 6'2... no i no I do not have a girlfriend, I have never had a girlfriend, and I have liked someone... my family was fine... no my dad was not... yes... yes... no... 18..." Tyler kind of just trailed off after a while. This was the most unpleasant walk of his entire life.

-

Lily gasped. "YOU HAVE LIKED SOMEONE!? Who?" She almost jumped up and down, spinning to face the boy

-

Tyler drew his brows together. -that's the part she got stuck on, of course- he thought. "... uh... some girl in eighth grade..." he muttered. It was most definitely obviously a lie... but Lily didn't know that, because she didn't know Tyler

Regan watched them wander off, though for some reason it made her heart drop, although she didn't have a clue why. She sighed before going over to the pot of porridge... she was still starting, despite the fact that the food last night had made her feel better. Since she'd met Tyler, she'd put a little bit of weight on... she was small the way it was, so it didn't take much for her to put weight on, but she was still pretty underweight. Though, she was hungry now, so she went and ate pretty quickly. She hoped Tyler was alright - this other girl seemed... loud and chatty. Regan was chatty too, but she wasn't particularly loud... yet the boy still struggled to be around her a little bit. Whatever, he needed to get over it... he was nice, he was really... but maybe someone who had a lot to say like her might make him a bit more talkative.

Tyler was getting agitated. Regan was NEVER this bad. He suddenly faked a gasp. "I forgot something super important! Please, go back to the campsite and I'll meet you there!" He said in a fake, higher pitched voice.

-

Lily stopped chatting as soon as the boy gasped. "What? What is it?" She listened to what he said. "Oh okay! It must be super important! I'll go!" She chirped, walking off

-

Tyler dashed the other way running through the forest he hopped up into a tree and waited, making no noise. His ears were actually ringing... she had asked SO MANY personal questions. He couldn't just... transform from not liking people to being able to deal with THAT. Lily was his nightmare... come true. He shuddered slightly, waiting a little longer before dropping out of the tree and walking back to the campsites. There Lily was... waiting... by the tree.

-

"Oh you're back! What did you forget? Was it important? Can I see it? OOOO is it a secret!? Please can I see it? Did you not find it? Where is it?" Lily spewed out even more questions like an erupting volcano

-

Tyler flinched slightly. "It turned out to be not that important, and no I didn't find it, so I'm sorry you can't see it." He said quietly, a head ache starting to come in. He closed his eyes, wishing someone would save him. Tyler opened his eyes and glanced at Regan. "Okay Lily, Regan looks like she REALLY wants to talk to you. She must have something URGENT to say." Tyler widened his eyes slightly. He knew Regan wanted to talk to someone... talkative.

-

Lily gasped. "You LOST IT?! How could you? Could you tell me what it is? WHAT she has something IMPORTANT to say!? Not just mooning over you!? Okay okay I'm going! Lily squealed... running off to Regan.

Regan sat by the campfire, by now a few people showing up for their morning meal. She couldn't help the smile on her face when they all started to chat, though... asking her how her first night was, if she was comfortable, where she'd come from, all of that kind of thing... they all seemed nice enough, well, other than some teenage boys who seemed just a bit younger than her and Tyler, who seemed to snicker every time she asked something. She supposed that was what teenage boys were like, though. She was shown about, all the little jobs and things that had to be done to earn your keep... she'd decided she'd help with the cooking until she was healed up enough to help with the hunting. She eventually saw Tyler and Lily again and flashed a smile, though when she saw the other girl coming over her smile grew a little bit before greeting her with a bit of a wave.

Tyler looked at Regan. His gaze was almost scared... he did not feel good with Lily. He literally had a head ache and felt it was weird she wanted to know butloads of personal stuff. He leaned back against the tree and just breathed, hoping Lily didn't see him.. and Regan started talking to her instead

Regan saw Tyler from the corner of her eye... it looked like he was trying to hide. Lily couldn't be that bad, could she? She didn't seem it. She genuinely just seemed happy to be talking to Tyler, while he seemed a bit more grateful to be away from her. Regan grinned to the girl as she walked up to her. "Hey - you two have a nice time?" She asked happily.

Lily smiled cheekily. "Yes, we had the best of times! I asked all about his family and his life and did you know he was 18? What do you know about him? Any secrets? Why were you living with him? Is that weird? Are you two friends? Are you boyfriend and girlfriend? He said he didn't have a girlfriend was he lying? Is his dad really buff?" Lily asked, blabbering on and on

-

Tyler looked at Regan. He could catch snippets of what Lily was saying... and it didn't sound good. More stuff about him. He groaned, covering his face with his hands and trying to get rid of the ringing. Why... did Lily.. have to be... so... chatty...

Regan was slightly off guard by all the questions but chuckled sheepishly anyway. She could see why Tyler was hiding, though... Regan could talk, but not this much. And the questions were weirdly tailored to Tyler. Though, she'd answer eventually. She'd probably scared the boy a little bit... but that was fine, she'd answer what she could. "Slow down a minute," she mused before shrugging a little bit. "I don't really know much about him. I knew he was 18, but I don't really know anything about his family, or any secrets." Regan looked thoughtful for a moment. "I was only staying while him while I healed. I was caught in one of his traps and I fell on a dagger when he dropped me," she shrugged. "We weren't meant to be staying with each other for so long. It's not that weird... but we do disagree on a lot so it can get tense... but we get on just fine. We're friends, yes," she hummed, a bit of blush across her cheeks when she asked if they were boyfriend and girlfriend. "No, we're certainly not together like that," she hummed lightly. "I've only seen his dad once and he was... I dunno, normal?" she shrugged.

Lily looked at the girl. What was her name... Regano or something? "Oh so he injured you! What! He stabbed you with a dagger? He captured you with a Net? Do you think he is cruel? How did he do it?" Lily asked, almost jumping up and down with questions -

-

Tyler sighed. Now Lily was pretty much asking if he tried to murder Regan. -no I didn't not thank you very much...- he thought with a shake of his head, his eyes downcast. Tyler heard a scuffling noise behind him and whirled, about to let out a yell when a hand clamped over his mouth and dragged him back into the bushes. He immediately knew who it was, and fear filled him.

-

"Be quiet, boy. I just want to talk." Aaron said gruffly. He dragged Tyler a little but farther before letting go, holding a dagger in case the boy came at him.

-

Tyler gasped for air, flying away from the man. "AARON. What are you doing here... and why did you try to kidnap me!" Tyler yelped, taking a deep breath. He glanced at the dagger in his father's hand. He knew the man was not afraid to use it. "...what do you want to talk about, then?" Tyler tried to look angry but his voice quavered slightly

-

Aaron glared at him. "You finally joined a camp. You and that... animal you have with you." He growled

-

Tyler snorted. "That animal is Regan, she is a living human being, and it was her idea. She is obviously much smarter than you!" He spat.

-

Aaron took a step forward. "I just want to talk. It's dangerous for me out here, and I, afraid they won't let ANOTHER person in... and I'm male. I just want to stay alive, same as you. Could you please help me get in?" Aaron asked, purposely softening his voice
