Ami glanced back downstream to the place where Scott had surfaced in his panic. Sensing his embarrassment, she rubbed light circles on his back, sending calm and understanding over their link. Suddenly coming face to face with a corpse was enough to rattle anyone's nerves. Ami figured that even Ripley would probably have blanched for a half a millisecond.
She hugged Scott and allowed him to hold onto her while he calmed down. A million questions danced in her head: Another corpse? Was it from their plane? Older like the ones found in the cave? Could there have been another plane crash? How long had it been there. . .(Oh, god, does it still have a soul trapped in there?)
Ami swallowed hard, shuddering at that last thought. Life and death had been so much easier to accept *before* she learned about grim reapers.
It didn't come as a surprise that the first question past her lips, a bit unsteadily asked was, "How long do you think it's been down there?"
