The two had walked through the trees for a good half-hour, finally coming to a river. Adelaide sat down at the grassy edge, bending over to wash the soot off her arms and face. She rolled up her sleeves and enjoyed the feeling of cool, refreshing water against her cheeks despite the cool morning air. Standing up, she tied her hair in a messy side-braid. "I bet you're tempted to go for a swim, fish-boy. " A distant burning made her glance down at her hands. There were burns marking up her palms, darkening her olive skin. The pain had been worse before during the walk there yet she had forgotten about it a moment. "How far is the bay?" She finally asked, glancing over her shoulder. 

Elijah was sitting against the trunk of a tree, fiddling with some wires. "Oh. Uhh." He put away his items and took out the map from his backpack. "It's literally only maybe half a mile up. You can go up ahead and I'll go get some food. " 

"Alright. I should put something on this anyway." She picked up a branch that had broken off from a tree and tossed it to him. "Try to catch some protein." 
Fishing poles weren't needed with him around. "By the way what were you doing?" 

The boy caught the branch, " You'll find out. It's going to be epic. Sooo... I'm going to get some berries first. Catch you later. Don't look for me because I'm probably going to swim up the river there. "

"Every time you say it's going to be epic something bad happens." She sighed, "Whatever, sounds good." This kid loved explosives and he was quite creative when it came to creating them. Adelaide always wondered if growing up in the war made him that way. She had suspected maybe the parents had played a large role but the kid didn't remember one thing about his past.

"I swear, this time you're going to be amazed. It's not what you think it is." Elijah said. "It's freakin' awesome." He grinned smugly and then carried on his way.

After tending to the burns, Adelaide got up and began following the river toward the bay, admiring the sereneness that it held. After everything they had went through, she took time to enjoy anything tranquil whenever she could find it. However, she was in for a shock when she got in to the bay. There was an actual boat out in the water. She moved hesitantly onto the dock, peering out at the water as the sun's reflection glistened over the waves. Hopefully Elijah would be quick and they could get out of here before whoever was on the boat decided to come ashore.
