THE TIME GAMES (Not accepting!)

[Duskshine]

I suspected Sasha disliked or distrusted me; still, if I could convince the others, I could yet make the majority of them trust me. I think so. I told Tristin in a tiny voice. Who are you?

Jack walked quietly over to Eleven and placed a hand on his shoulder. "You alright, Doc?" he asked softly, sitting beside him.

Sasha narrowed her eyes at Delilah, while she wasn't looking, then stood up and limped over to Jack and the Doctor, ignoring the now dull pain in her leg.

[higurashi]

Tristin smiled at Delilah, putting on a friendly face. No need to scare her. "I'm Tristin."

Eleven jumped in surprise and swivled to face Jack and Sasha. "Sorry, was watching the camp all night. Did you say something?"

[Duskshine]

Jack chuckled. "You looked sorta spaced out, so I just came to check on you." he said. "Did you sleep?"

Yes. The Mistress's brother. Delilah. I held up my hand to shake, trying to act more comfortable. He was trying to be nice, after all, as he didn't know he didn't need to be.

[higurashi]

Eleven shook his head. "I was letting everyone else get rest. Time Lord's don't need as much."

Tristin took her hand and shook it. She looks rather thin and filthy. I wonder how long she's actually been here. He thought.

[Duskshine]

"You still need some." Jack pointed out. "So, what do you think of Delilah?" He spoke quietly, directing the question at both Sasha and the Doctor.

Are we planning anything for today, beyond surviving? I asked, standing stiffly. To them, it would seem as if I were deciding that they seemed alright, assuming my performance was passable. I discovered yesterday that there are a good number of thorny bushes out there. I hoped my attempt at a feeble joke would help lighten the mood. I had learned many tricks to gaining trust, working for Annabelle: Readily give information. Behave in a socially acceptable and likeable manner. Appear harmless. These were the most important.

"I don't really know what to think," Sasha whispered, so Delilah couldn't hear. "I'm having a hard time trusting anyone new since you got caught in that trap."

[higurashi]

Eleven shrugged. "I think we should give her a chance." He said.

Jack nodded in agreement. "She seems more or less harmless." He said, glancing at Sasha. "And anyway, some of us only met yesterday and yet we're somehow still sticking together."

Sasha shrugged. "If you say so." She then limped back to the rocks and sat on a small ledge, observing the camp silently.
