"Tired.." She murmured. "Very tired.."

She slowly sat up straighter and held her hands out in front of her. She couldn't stop them from shaking. "Let's not do that again right now.. Alright..?"

"No, I think that was quite enough for one day," Desmond said with a light chuckle.

He stood up and offered her a hand.

"Let's get you back to the car," he said. "The walk 'ill do you good, an' you can get some sleep during the drive back."

She looked relieved at that and took his hand gently. It took her a moment, as her legs had fallen asleep for sitting for so long but eventually she was back on her feet.

"At least.. You still have your arm this time." She smiled.

"I do?" he asked. He did a quick pat down of himself, checking all his limbs. "I guess I do," he agreed with a wink.

He picked his coat up and shrugged it back on. As they made their way across the field he fished his cigarettes out of his pocket and lit one up for the walk back to the car.
