"all right, hopefully we can figure it out..." she made sure the medical kit was secure before tossing it up too and then climbing up herself.

He caught the things and kept them safely making sure they don't fall off. He didn't reply to her. He just bent down extending her hand as he had remembered her wrist was injured. "Give me your hand..."

Starla reached up and grabbed Simon's hand, holding on as she pulled herself up, being careful of her wrist.
The space in the tree seemed kind of small, but it wasn't bad. They should be ok there.

It was pretty obvious by the looks of it that the sleeping bag would fit both of them but he was not going to suggest anything. "The bag's yours. d**n, wish I had a rope. But then again wish I had a lot of things I right now", he said smiling at her for a bit then proceeding to climb down. "Once he had reached the forest floor he looked up and said, "I am just gonna go get some more fruits in case we start feeling hungry. Take care...I will be right back." He turned around to walk towards the trees and proceeded to cut down a big bunch of he fruits. Holding it up using the branch he had cut, he started walking back.
It was getting dark quickly due to the dense forest they were in. He couldn't tell if the sun had already set.

Starla laid down in the sleeping bag, resting on her stomache, her head on her hands as she looked around a little.
She was tired, but couldn't sleep, not in this wilderness, not alone... she didn't feel safe, not alone.

By the time Simon got back, he saw that Starla had already gotten into the sleeping back. He couldn't just throw the bunch over, it might fall on her. So he called out, "Starla, you still awake?"

"yeah, I'm awake." she got up some and looked over to him.

"Here, this should be enough...", he said and threw the bunch up to her. He then proceeded to climb the tree. As he reached up, he realized how humid the weather was. His shirt was covered in sweat with all the running around he had done. He looked around to see it had got dark really fast and the light was even lower up in the tree due to the shade.

She grabbed onto the fruit and pulled it onto the tree, setting it down in a good spot. Then she sat back a bit and watched him come up, making sure he had no problems.

He looked at Starla and asked, "I hope you don't mind me taking off my shirt..." He was surprised that Starla wasn't showing any discomfort due to the high humidity. Either that or she wasn't showing it.

"uh..." she blushed a bit at the odd question, but was glad the darkness hid it.
"it's up to you. If you really need to..."

He hesitated for a bit then decided to wait for her to fall asleep. It was better if she didn't feel any more discomfort than she was already in. He didn't say anything but just laid back with his back to a thick branch. He looked at her, "You must be tired, get some rest..."

She didn't say anything, just laying back down. Now that she wasn't alone it should be easier for her to sleep.
It still took her some time to get really comfortable and drift off, but she did eventually.

As the insects of the night started making noises and darkness fell, Simon closed his eyes. He was trying to remember what had happened to the plane and why it had crashed with him at the steering! He had drifted into sleep when he suddenly realized this is what had happened on the plane as well. He suddenly opened his eyes, staring out in shock. He had fallen asleep at the controls! It had never happened to him before. He remembered he had not even been sleepy, then how...

Starla slept quietly as Simon went through his own bouts of dozing.
In the night, a dark shadow moved through the branches, slowly coming to the sleeping pair, as if stalking and creeping closer.
A pair of eyes were vaguely able to be seen, an almost yellow color.
