Cover up

Oh shit! Marcus dives back into his sleeping bag, ashamed at getting caught. He prays to every god he knows that Eris still be his friend after this. Thankfully, she does not say a word.

'Maybe she didn't get a good look at what I was doing? It was pretty dark after all.' Marcus reasons.

Still, he finds his mind troubled by dark thoughts and he spends the rest of the night rolling around, sleep completely eluding him.

Eris wakes to an empty tent. She steps outside and is met with a mouthwatering aroma. Brandon is in the middle of preparing breakfast, frying eggs that he no doubt looted from some poor bird's nest.

She holds out her plate expectantly, but Brandon just laughs and says, "Sorry Riri, no honey no money." clearly still upset that she rejected him last night.

Sadly, Eris has to settle for some jerky and nuts from her provisions, her stomach growling all the while as she watches Brandon feast on the eggs. At least Marcus is equally jealous when Brandon refuses to share with him and the two commiserate in their mutual hunger.

After packing up their campsite, they head off, ready to begin their second day on the road.
