She also decided not to correct him about the turtles; he didn't seem all that interested anyway.

Setting the turtle back on her lap, she stared out into the water while they sat in silence. Something was definitely wrong with the boy. Usually she was wishing he would shut up, but now..not that she really wanted him to talk, it was kind of weird.

Chancing a glance over at him, she was just about to ask if he wanted her to leave, but he beat her to it and spoke first. She didn't know what was more surprising. The fact that Caroline had dumped him, or the fact that Carter was now hugging her ~~and the turtle~~. "I'm sorry, Carter." she whispered as her arms sloooowly went around him. He must have been desperate for a hug, if he hugged her of all people.

"You don't know where I could find a love potion, do you?"

Destiny was never good at trying to lighten the mood..

Carter smiled gratefully at Destiny after the hug. He knew that was probably the last thing she expected from him. But the fact that she returned it ~~awkwardly~~ meant something. Either he looked a mess... or, the option he was more leaning toward, was that she was a good friend.

Then. He did something odd. He laughed. And he laughed hard. Maybe it was because that was, by far, the worst attempt anyone had ever made at cheering someone up. Or maybe it was because he couldn't remember the last time he laughed.

"Just please don't give it to a snake this time." Not that she gave it to a snake before. She gave it to him last time. But it was because of a snake.

He then picked up the turtle hoping for some kind of distraction. "You know. I once saw a turtle big enough to ride." he said petting the shell of this turtle. He only wished that turtle had been close enough to ride.
