[ she'll be the least surprised of all to find out that not every idea he has goes according to plan. this trip, a way to remember the time spent on lian yu, without dredging trauma they've done their best to leave behind. hence the lack of camping gear and solitude in location.
a silver lining; the shelter they put together is holding up, keeping frigid winds from making their night miserable. easier to just be when he's alone with sara; she understands, in ways that no one else ever could, the only other witness to a few of his darkest moments. stirring the fire, he looks across the flames, letting their eyes meet briefly ]
Thanks...for coming. This is what I miss, you know? How free things felt when we were on the island. [ a brief pause, his lips pulling into a smile ] When we weren't constantly near death. [ as much as their campfire is helping, the stark drop in temperature is still winning out ]
a time master is never late........... or something
You mean there was really a time when we weren't close to death and dying?
( it's definitely a joke, evidenced by the sly sort of smile that starts to tug at the corners of her mouth, but her sarcasm probably isn't all that unwarranted. the temperature's starting to drop out here, maybe not completely life-threatening just yet, but sara's content with using it as an excuse to sidle around the edge of their built fire to sit right next to ollie, lean against him so that she might steal a fraction of his body heat.
maybe this situation isn't quite what the two of them had anticipated, but sara's going to make the best of it; any excuse to spend time with ollie is a welcome one, considering how their paths have seemed to diverge after being intrinsically woven together for so long — since the beginning of everything. life before oliver feels like a third lifetime altogether. she's not ready to let go of him altogether. )

But really, Ollie. I'm glad I came.
