@drcarlson : "follow me and stay close."
his hands tighten around his rifle, after only a split second of hesitation. it's an old, familiar feeling that quietly washes over him. to fall into line. to tune out the larger world and, instead, focus on his immediate surroundings. to let someone else take charge.
sayid's feelings towards juliet are complicated, to say the least. with all that they've been through in relation to the others. he can't help but always associate her with one ot them. but she's making an effort to help the stranded oceanic passengers. so, he follows her order. approaching juliet with cautious steps that slowly lower him towards the ground, using brush to hide him in plain sight. "lead the way."
