Bread and Wine

You sleep until late the next morning. You are greeted by the sound of Samantha shouting orders and what sounds like breaking wood. You sit up straight and are happy to feel something other than pain. It's the feeling of a very dry mouth. You open your eyes and try to see where the sound was coming from. You see Samantha sitting on a log shouting at Jack who is attacking a wine crate with a fire axe. He slowly but surely cracks open the lid, but Samantha keeps shouting him down. "Come on you big idiot. How hard can it be? What use is a strong man who can't even open a stupid box." You can't believe the way that bitch is acting. "Wow Jack. You're doing great!" you shout at him. He looks back and smiles at you. Samantha on the other hand almost pulls her hair out. "You should mind your own business, princess. I'm the one who decides if he's doing good or not." she shouts back.

You shrug and walk over to Stefan and Arturo, who are sitting at the opposite side of the campfire from Samantha. Stefan is trying to hide a grin. "Nicely done Ariel. I just hope Samantha won't use it against you. Here, want some bread?" he asks. There are a few moldy loafs of bread on what seems to be a ripped shirt. "We found them near the shipwreck. They aren't the cleanest but that just means we'll have to finish them soon." You really don't want to, but accept the bread anyway. You take a few careful bites and after a while just give up on eating carefully. "Do you guys have some water for me?" you ask. Stefan nods at something behind you. You turn around and see Jack with three bottles of wine. He sets them down with a big grin.

You drink some wine, but no more than necessary. Stefan and Jack don't hold back however. The two of them chug an entire bottle before deciding they shouldn't open a second. The bottle you and Arturo shared still had half of it left, but Samantha took that one and the remaining bottle away. "Are you two dimwits really too stupid to understand we have to be economical with this?" she shouts. She takes the two bottles to the log she had sat on earlier that morning.

Rashid comes back with two big fish. With a wide smile he places them down. "The waters here are great! These aren't even the largest ones!" He happily exclaims. Stefan stands up to take the two fish from him. "That's amazing! How did you catch them?" he asks. Rashid proudly explains how he created a basket trap from the wreckage and caught the second one with his bare hands. When Stefan takes the two fish from Rashid a hand suddenly grabs his shoulder. Samantha had snook up on him.

"What do we think we're doing here? Trying to be the leader or take the fish for your own?" she asks. Her eyes look around maniacally and her hand is clamping down on Stefan's shoulder very tightly.
