I smiled at this. He was actually begging instead of telling. Maybe he wasn't all that bad. I nodded, trying to be serious again, and sat down on the ground, leaning against a tree. He sat too so he wouldn't be ten feet taller than me.
"OK, well the other day, when I was..." I paused, thinking about it. "When you had Domi on the other side of the island, I was after you, broken leg and all"--I motioned to the leg that was still hurting, but basically ignored it as much as possible--"I fell, and didn't have enough strength to get up, so I sorta just stayed right there. Well, he was taking pictures with a camera, and he found me, but for some reason he didn't kill me or anything. But that wasn't when I saw him. I saw him before that, way before that, but I'm not sure where. I remember his face somehow, but..." I trailed off, looking at the ground. I wasn't sure what. I'd seen him before and that was all I knew.
After maybe thirty minutes of silence, and thinking, I stood, gasping and collapsing back to the ground, whimpering from the pain. He had done this, and I tried not to make him feel guilty, so I wiped the tears away, using the tree to stand, and I balanced on one leg, sighing as I felt my bone fall back into place.
"I should be laying back on that cot, but I'm just not in the mood to sit down, though sleep would do us all good," I said, looking at him.
