The small flame sent a wave of warmth over Olivia, a different, but still nice kind of warmth.
"Oooh, that feels good," she smiled. "Silly Jack, you couldn't have thought of that before we came close to hypothermia the other day?"

He grinned sheepishly. "Oops."
He paused, considering his other powers. For Jack, his powers were a bit of a novelty. It was always a surprise to him when he remembered just what he was capable of. He guessed it was all the sports training; it'd sunk into his mind-set.
Under no circumstances WHATSOEVER many any team member use their magical powers to cheat, or they will be disqualified.
Of course, in real life, those rules weren't there...
"I could maybe have left Deron to die, though," Jack said thoughtfully. "You know- for Jude's sake."

Olivia laughed.
Jude and Deron... well, that wasn't the most fun thing to endure. Jude really didn't like the guy, and if she was honest, Olivia could see why. He was annoyingly sarcastic - sarcasm was all very well, but Deron's kind of sarcasm was always extremely patronising, and often very malicious.
"He's a bit much, isn't he?" she said. "No offence to either of them, but I wouldn't have put him and Kira together..."

Jack shook his head. "No... no, I don't know how it really came back..." he trailed off, watching Olivia carefully, "unless... d'you think he's good-looking?"

Um... no?
See the thing was, Olivia wasn't supposed to be looking at other guys while she had a boyfriend. Jack didn't mind flirting, and it worked vice versa, but it wasn't really the greatest idea to discuss your opinions on other guys with your boyfriend.
"Well, I wasn't actually looking..." Liar. She'd been checking out Lucas, one of the brothers at the SCR centre... "but, no, I wouldn't say he was my type."

"Right..." Jack said slowly. "So... she's not dating him for his looks then?"

Olivia winced. "Unsure. Unless he's her type... I'd doubt it though. Maybe she likes the sarcasm."

Jack chuckled; feeling strangely satisfied, though he wasn't sure why.
"Aren't girls meant to be good at fixing people up?"

Olivia shrugged. "It depends on what girl, I guess..."

"Never mind," Jack said, abandoning his pursuit. "You pick a topic, then."

Olivia frowned. "Sorry. Um..."
'Pick a topic' never worked out well with these two. The thing was, they hadn't discovered much that they had in common. There had to be something, but they hadn't worked out what is was yet.
So...
"Well... Kira and Lee will be back soon..." she started, before biting her lip. "Oh. God. Madeleine's coming back to join the search."

Jack looked at her in surprise. "Really? Why's that then?"
He hadn't known Madeleine and Steve to be particularly good friends; certainly not good enough to have cut her Christmas holidays short.

"Steve's a Warrior," Olivia shrugged. "She said she wanted to look and that she'd do the same for any of you."

Jack had to smile at that one. Of course she was. She was Madeleine- the best Head of the Warriors in his memory, at the very least, and that was saying something. He had to say, he was impressed by her commitment to the group.
Her holidays were bound to have been going better than his, after all...
"That's really good of her," he said finally.

"Yeah. It is," Olivia sighed.
Poor Madeleine. Olivia wasn't sure that Madeleine was having such a great time at home. Lee was obviously heavy on her mind, and she was worried about her friend.
"I don't know how well she'll react when Lee's back. Before the formal... well, when I went to her dorm, she'd locked herself in the bathroom and she looked really upset. I think they might have argued."
