Fluff Among Thieves [Uncharted 4]

Long Walks (Rafe Adler)

After running into another dead end, Nathan Drake finally abandoned looking for Avery's treasure. His brother Sam was dead; at least that's what they all thought. Now Rafe was left on his own to keep searching around for clues.

He was going to work himself to death and you knew it. You had to figure out something to keep his mind off this unfindable treasure.

"Let's go for a walk, it's just right outside." You finally speak up.

Rafe eyes you impatiently. "We don't have time for that." He continues to rummage over a few old maps sitting on the coffee table in front of him.

"Yes, we do. Just take a break, that treasure isn't going anywhere you know." Standing up, you make your way over, grabbing his arm and attempting to pull him up from the chair.

"Fine. Just for a few minutes." He sounds defeated as he begins to stand up.

"You got it." A smirk makes its way across your face, he had no idea you planned to walk along the entire shore of the beach in just your bare feet right outside of one of the various vacation homes Rafe had.

The walk lasted for a solid hour, and you expected him to complain, but he hadn't. It seemed to have calmed him just a bit. The water was turning a gold hue as the sun began to set, and you swore you could stare at it for hours.

"See, there's a lot of better things to do than look for that treasure."

He nods, and you rub his arm.

"Just don't work yourself too hard, I'm sure you'll figure it out."

You hold Rafe's hand as you both make your way back up to the house.
