Abby flinched when James threw something to the ground and stomped off into the forest. She quickly trailed after him. The area wasn't safe for someone not paying attention to his surroundings.

James stopped after a short distance and turned to glare at her. “Leave me alone unless you can get me home.” With that, he walked back to their camp and ignored her.

Abby sighed as she noticed the notched wood James had discarded so violently earlier. She didn't need to count to know there were 56 marks, one for each day they had been stuck in the past.

Poor James. It's got to be tough though so staying positive all the time couldn't be easy. Hopefully he's not stomped off into harms way.

James is not having a good time. No, he should be safe - he stomped back to their camp. Thanks for reading.

[samueljames]

That'll teach me to read properly. Sorry I missed that line.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

No problem, and the camp not necessarily totally safe ;)

[lukadreaming.livejournal.com]

I don't blame Lester for feeling racked off! I like Abby making sure he's safe.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

He's not the outdoors type ;) Glad you liked Abby looking after him, I think she's made it her role in these drabbles ;)

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Oh, poor kids. :(

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they will be fine. Thanks for reading.

[fififolle]

Oh dear. Poor things :(
Loved the emotion of this!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

James had to lose it at some point.

Thanks, glad you liked it.

Tsk, tsk, Lester. Taking your anger out on Abby won't help the situation. It's not her fault you are stranded.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* Lester does know that, really. I think this is just a bad day for him. Thanks for reading.

[telperion-15.livejournal.com]

Really like this. Anyone would be affected like this by the situation they're stuck in - even James!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Glad you did. No matter how hard James pretends he isn't 'human', he is. Thanks for reading.

[fredbassett]

Oh no, poor James!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* James isn't having a good day. Thanks for reading and for looking at it for me.

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

Poor them!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I iz being mean to both of them now, but I'm sure they will be fine. Thanks for reading.

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

meep. Poor them.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* I haven't rescued them (yet), but I'm sure they will be fine. Thanks for reading.

[prehistoriccat.livejournal.com]

*meep* Poor James.

Can I just say how much I am loving this relationship you're developing with Abby & Lester, its a pleasure to read.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* I am still being mean to him.

Thanks, glad you liked their relationship, though they are writing themselves.

56... No wonder he's getting angsty! Poor loves.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* Being lost in the past is not in James' job description ;) But I'm sure they will be fine (probably). Thanks for reading.

[cordeliadelayne]

Oh, poor James!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

He's not happy (and I'm still being mean to him). Thanks for reading.

[nietie.livejournal.com]

56 days. It must be nerve wracking not knowing if and when rescue will come.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* James is certainly not happy about being in the past. Thanks for reading.
