Chapter #4: The Expedition - Part 2

***7am, The next day***

Under the light of breaking dawn, Modoru groggily got up from his air mattress and slowly moved to his backpack on the opposite side. So as to not wake May, who was sleeping next to him, he left putting his boots on until the very last thing. Slipping on his black, form fitting battle armor he also secured his C.S device to his waist. Making sure the settings of his device were regular he did a quick port beside himself and back. Just as he was about to exit the tent, he heard some rustling in the bed.

"You could at least say goodbye," May whispered as she sat up slowly from her supine position.

"Sorry, I didn't want to wake you," Modoru said. He crept over to her and gave her a quick kiss. 

"That's better….good luck today," May said confidently.
