Half-Part: Checking In

John and Nova had done well over the days they were in their camp. The worst they faced was Mortem Raptors but they were extremely weak to radiation bullets. Nova and John had bonded. Gotten closer. John and Nova often talked, joked around, or something else.
John was out hunting for food. He discovered that grilled Mortem Raptor was actually pretty yummy. Nova was at camp waiting for him. He came back soon with a dead Mortem Raptor and prepared it for cooking, setting it on a spitroast. Nova say beside John and cuddled against his arm while writing in a journal, something of a hobby of hers.
"Am I that irresistible Nova?" John joked. Nova laughed and hit him in the arm, "Oh quiet, I just think your warm. Plus it makes me feel safe. Especially when writing." John chuckled but then went back to focusing on cooking the Mortem Raptor. Nova continued journaling.
A love was flourishing between the two. A love that was born out of terrible circumstances.
But, they were grateful that they at least had each other as beacons of light. As Nero had a found a friend in the Death Adder, John and Nova found love on Alaria. John finished cooking the Mortem and the couple began to eat. John was scarfing it down and Nova giggled, "John stop you eat like an animal." John rolled his eyes. A smirk playing at his lips, "We aren't all born into a rich family that runs the GRO and teaches all of those fancy shmancy manners." Nova smiled. Amused by John's humor.
She knew the truth of John's words. John worked for the GRO because of his own families debts and she was just in it due to her father. But alas, she brushed it off. At night, John fell asleep in the shelter. And after a while of journaling, Nova stopped and laid down. She snuggled into John's arms and drifted off.
