An ODST in Mekkan. Twokinds X Male ODST (CURRENTLY BEING EDITED)

Chapter 9 - Another Walk in the Woods

No one's POV:

Trace: "It's getting pretty dark. I think we should just set up camp now. We'll get there in the morning. This looks like a nice little clearing. As long as we follow the stream, we shouldn't get disoriented tomorrow."

Trace: "Flora, could you set up the lantern?"

Keith: "I'll get some wood for a fire."

Trace: "Oh, could you also get some fresh water? I think we're out."

Y/N: "I can do that, be back in a couple of minutes." 

Flora: "Trace...? Trace... I don't think we should camp out here."

Trace: "Huh? What's wrong, Flora?"

Flora: "Keidran have been here... I can smell their scent."

Y/N: Sigh"...I bet they're gonna come from the fuckin' trees"

Y/N activates his VISR whilst browsing which Armor ability to choose.

Y/N 'Hmm I think I should still use the Thruster Pack. The visibility here is poor but I need to evade enemy attacks. Besides, I have my VISR and using Promethean vision would reveal my location due to the red light it emanates.' Y/N thought to himself

Y/N managed to find a river some meters away from the camp. He filled a canteen he had for the rest of them. At this point his MRE's were finished, he now had to rely on the food him and Keith cooked, which wasn't the best tasting but it was better than nothing.

After a while Him and Keith come back from acquiring the materials and go patrolling for a bit. They find nothing out of the ordinary for a couple of hours. Keith having exhausted his legs, wanted to switch with Trace to get some shut eye, Y/N having no problem going another round.

Keith: "Ugh, finally. Trace, it's your turn to go on watch, I'm exhausted. Huh, Trace? Now where'd they go?"

Y/N: "Hm?"

They heard Trace and Flora

Flora: "ow, hey, that's my tail, Trace!"

Getting it on...

Trace: "Sorry, sorry.. never done this before.. how about now?"

Flora: "I know, me nei— eep! mm.. that's nice.."

Keith: ...

Keith: "On second thought, I think I'll go scouting for a while longer."

Y/N: "Yeah. Another round ain't so bad right now."

We both walk off and give Trace and Flora their time.

- [Later] -

Y/N's POV:

Y/N: 'Huh. so not only does my Ammo get refilled but my Utilities also get refilled' I thought as I had 3 flash bang grenades instead of two.

I pondered for a bit before putting the flash bangs back on my belt and resuming to clean my weapons.

Y/N: 'Neat.' I thought to myself.

For the next couple of hours, there was nothing interesting happening. Keith walked off to scout further much to my refusal, while I stayed near the camp but not enough to hear Trace and Flora. I took the time to load my weapons and inspect them for a bit. They were the only things keeping me alive right now and the only ones in this world so keeping them in good condition was the only way I would survive here.
