---------------------------

Ami ducked into Mara's shelter as Tommy and Jon made their way to the cookfire area. As they departed, her stomach grumbled a bit, reminding her that she hadn't eaten yet this morning. Tommy and Jon were too far away without shouting for them, and shouting might disturb Mara and she wasn't willing to leave the young woman alone. She figured she'd suffer through for a while longer; it wasn't like she would die of starvation in a few hours time.

Kneeling by Mara's bed, she hesitantly reached out and placed her hand lightly on the woman's forehead. Dropping her shields just a bit, she focused solely on Mara, wincing again at the rents and tears in the woman's shields. Beneath that, she was disturbed, and mentally and psychically exhausted. Ami wasn't connected to Mara the way she was to Megabyte, Mara not being a Tomorrow Person, but she thought she would try to reinforce the woman's shielding a bit anyway. The worse that would happen was nothing and the best was that Mara might sleep a bit easier, even if Ami couldn't take away the horrors she'd already experienced.

It took a few minutes of concentration, and Ami felt a wee bit more tired herself when it was done, but she'd managed to connect with Mara on the very surface and reinforce her shielding – filling in some of the gaps. It wouldn't hold for long, a day at the most, but hopefully it would give the other woman some comfort.

Done with what she could do, Ami leaned against Mara's bed and waited for Tommy and Jon to return.

[Daisy] The note (tag Tommy, open)

"That's possible, I suppose," Blaise said, watching Daisy and Locke. He shook himself faintly and faced Tommy. "But I doubt driving Lucy to suicide was the goal. I can't see what that would accomplish. I suspect it was an unintended consequence."

"Doesn't make the bastard or bastards any less guilty, but if I were them, I'd keep my head down for a couple of days. But we should keep an eye out anyway, just to be sure. If you see anything suspicious, let me know. And you might suggest the same to everyone you trust."

[Tommy] The note

"Will do," Tommy agreed. He'd noticed how the marine was distracted by John and Daisy, but decided not to inquire. "I'm going to go check on Mara. Later." Blaise gave him a nod, and Tommy headed back across the beach.
