After a little while, Nic came over with his back to Laurel, reaching a hand down behind him for Laurel to grab onto.

Laurel grabbed his hand tightly.

So Nic pulled Laurel up onto the boat, and then left her to get dressed on her own.

"Nic... What does Wolfe want to ask you about?" she asked quietly, he was acting kinda weird...

Nic shrugged.

Laurel fell silent as she pulled her clothes back on and started to bandage her feet.

Once he was sure Laurel was fully clothed, he took off just his shoes before going in the water himself since his clothes were dirty too. After scrubbing himself off a bit, he pulled himself back onto the boat.

Laurel was ready with one of the instadry line of towels. She immediately began to rub him dry, just happy to be close to him.

Nic reluctantly let Laurel help. Once he was mostly dry he went back to the helm to drive them back.

"Nic... Why are you do on edge?" she asked quietly as they started back.

"... Because my gut is telling me to be," Nic replied.

Laurel swallowed a little, "... Your... gut?" she replied quietly, not liking the sound of that.

Nic didn't say anything more as he took them back to the resort.

Laurel was hesitant to get off the boat, Nic's words making her uneasy.

After Nic got off the boat, he waited for Laurel to follow.

Finally Laurel did, stepping up beside Nic.
