Finishing up the opening scenes meant that the mole seen was to be filmed today. Fionn, Harry and Aneurin were finished up with makeup. Aneurin and Fionn went separate ways to Harry who had to get ready on the actual boat with extras whilst Fionn and Aneurin had other bits to do first. Both Toms, Barry, Cillian and Jack all watched from by a tent as the scene was beginning to be filmed. They didn't have to watch but they found it nice too as they could see what the others were like and between takes they could all mess around and whatnot. They spotted Dotty who was handing out life jackets to extras. She was carrying a large black sack full of them and passed them out to any extra who needed one for the scene. She was on the boat passing them out when she handed Harry one. "Thanks." He said and she smiled in response to walking over to a blonde boy.
"Here you'll need this." She said handing it to him. "You're Bobby Lockwood, right?" She asked as she recognised the actor who would be telling Fionn and Aneurin to get off of the boat.
He laughed, "Yeah I am. What do you know me from?"
Dotty smiled, "Sounds weird but Wolfblood on Cbbc. Kids show I know, but it's good. I better be going. Nice to meet you, Bobby."
"And you!" The man called to her laughing to himself.
Dotty climbed off of the boat and made her way through the crowd, some extras, helping her across the beam that was there ready for Fionn and Aneurin after the bomb hits. She thanked the lads and then continued making her way through and towards her father. "Do you have that sewing needle and thread on you?" Chris asked Dotty who looked at him confused but nodded anyway.
"Yeah, do you need it?"
"I don't can you just sew up this tiny hole in Fionn's jacket, please?" Dotty nodded making her way over to Fionn.
"Hi again, not sweaty enough. Ripped a hole in your costume already?"
Fionn shook his head in amusement, "Funny. But no, I don't know how it got there."
"Right well enjoy my atrocious sewing." She turned to Aneurin. "Nice to meet you."She nodded at him.
"And you."
"Do you want to take the jacket off or risk me stabbing you?" Dotty asked Fionn as she held up the needle. Fionn shrugged off the jacket and held onto it as she put part of the thread between her teeth so that she could thread the needle. Once she was done he passed her the jacket. "I don't know why I have to do this, you can't see the goddamn hole! Besides, it's a war like their clothes were completely hole-less." She concentrated nonetheless, trying to make her sewing as neat as she could. The fabric was very hard to get the needle through as it was wool so Aneurin and Fionn watched in amusement as she struggled to sew up the jacket.
"Having fun there?"The former asked.
She glanced up at him, "bloody great time."
A further few minutes later she knotted the end of the thread and handed the jacket back. "If anyone asks, I didn't sew it as bad as it is and that I sew great and some other woman did it?" She said.
Fionn nodded, "I will don't worry. Thanks."Dotty smiled before returning to her father.
""You were right about her being funny, Fionn."

"Fionn did you just shake you head?" Chris asked.
Fionn looked at him and slowly nodded, puzzled. Chris laughed and motion to Dotty to fix it. "Honestly, not sweaty enough, it's like you want me to come and sort something out."
Harry and Aneurin shared a look of amusement as Dotty styled his hair back to the way it was before he shook his head and made his hair go all over the place. "Now I am no professional, but that will have to do. If he doesn't like it, someone else can sort it. Have fun you three." Dotty said and climbed back up on top of the mole from where she was on the wood beneath it.
Fionn thanked her once again before turning to Harry who coughed. "Not sweaty enough?" He questioned.
"When I shot the first scene, as we kept stopping between parts so that the camera could get in place, it meant I wasn't as sweaty as I should have been so I had to have water sprayed on my face a neck by her. It seems as if she doesn't know my name."
"Or just doesn't call you by it." Aneurin shrugged. "What was her name again?"
"Daphne, I think." Fionn replied. "I can't quite remember. Too many names to remember." He chuckled.
"Ready?" They heard Chris ask before he shouted "Action!"
"Right Highlanders let's find you another ship." Many extras that are stopping wet start climbing back on top of the mole and the camera focuses on Fionn who dips down it or the water and hauls himself up before he Harry and Aneurin make their way onto the mole.
They finish the scene and as they are heading back onto the beach, Dotty comes along handing them towels. She passes Fionn, Aneurin and Harry who are nearing the others who were watching and stops them. She passes them a the last of the towels each before heading off down the beach pulling a black sack from her belt and picking up some spare helmets that had been dropped on the sand. "She's everywhere isn't she?" Jack laughs as the boys near them.
"Yeah, and seems her and Fionn are getting to know each other nicely." Harry smirks only to be shoved by the boy himself.
"No, what happens is Chris gets her to do something which generally means her doing something with Fionn." Aneurin says. "Like sewing his jacket or fixing his hair."
"Right that's not my fault."
"You shook your head."
"Oh piss off."
