Long blinked blankly, but he didn't say anything.

So Rosen maneuvered the hooverchair in the back, "You should lay down why I get us there," he suggested.

Nic soon found that Kale had indeed not been anywhere he was supposed to be and after a week and a half of no contact, it was going to be difficult to track him down.

Long didn't protest, slowly finding a place to lay down.

So Nic got to work trying to track Kale down.

Rosen flew for awhile, though after a certain amount of time Long could tell Rosen was flying in circles.

Long was very aware of Rosen's flying, but he didn't comment on it - the longer Rosen flew in circles, the longer he had to think.

After a longer period of time, it became pretty evident that Rosen was lost.

Long wasn't sure what to do. After some more musings he slowly got up and went to check out the situation.

It appeared that Rosen still thought he knew where he was going as he greeted Long with, "We're almost there," even though they were passing over the same island for the seventh time.

So Long didn't say anything as he took a seat near the front.

And so Rosen took them in another big circle before passing over the island an 8th time. "Man, it sure would be easy to get lost around here, right?" he chuckled, "The islands all look the same!"

Long paused before nodding a little. It didn't look like he was going to say anything.

Eventually Rosen looked around and sighed, "Funny, we should be there by now."

. . .

Long still said nothing.

Rosen was silent for another circle before looking down, "Well, change of plans!" he announced, "We'll stop by a resort instead."

Long paused before getting up and walking over to Rosen, putting a hand on his shoulder as if looking out the window.
