Old habits are hard to break. Despite having had a long night giving the 'Welcome to the Island' speech, Joshua wakes up as the island shifts from night sounds to day sounds. Some birds defy the rain and sing while the frogs retire to hidden places. It's quiet in the hut apart from the rain, but it would be if Juliet is reading. He stretches and gets out of bed. The floor boards creak quietly as he walks to the bedroom door. He opens it to check on her and finds that she has fallen asleep. He shakes his head as he closes the door again quietly. There had been a reason he'd been willing to give up his bed. The couch is not very comfortable.

He quietly gets ready and then goes into the living room area to find a book to read. Once he's found something suitable, he goes outside to sit on the front porch and read while he waits for Carolyn. He's careful not to wake Juliet.

He looks at Carolyn when she squeezes his arm and there's a moment where it looks like she's going to say something or like he might actually talk about this, but it's gone just as quickly when Juliet steps outside.

"Oh right. Breakfast," he says, pretending he hadn't said anything and like there hadn't just been a moment there. He hands Juliet back the cup of coffee. "Slickers!" And he walks inside for a moment to find adequate rain gear, leaving the two women alone.

Juliet ducks her head, a knowing little smile curving on her lips before it slips away and she clears her throat.

Looking back up at Carolyn, she suddenly feels even worse for intruding on whatever time the two of them spent together. "Joshua told me I could find someplace to squat, so I probably will soon."

Carolyn looked away for a moment until she felt the flush in her cheeks dying down. Talk about a completely awkward morning. Drawing in a deep breath, she looked back over at Juliet and smiled slightly. "Well I think there are some empty huts here in New Atlantis. I don't see why you can't take over one of them."

"I'll see about it later today, after I go to the Compound. Does it rain like this all day long? Something tells me the high heels I have won't cut it for the walk."

"Who knows," he says, answering her question about the rain. "Best to plan for it though."

He hands Juliet a rain coat. It's blue with pink lizards printed on it. The one he keeps for himself is similar, but in yellow with green lizards. He hands Carolyn an umbrella which has a similar pattern as well. Apparently the only thing the clothes box will give him though he doesn't mention it.

"This might work better than your lab coat," he says when he passes Carolyn the umbrella. "We can go get some breakfast when you're both ready." He gives them both a friendly smile.
