"I think we should be getting close by now," Isaac finally spoke up again after a while of pushing forward, struggling to keep up with the energetic pace of his smaller, bluer ally. "Maybe we should stop for a second and check the map?"
"We can look at that map and keep going!" came the response. It wasn't malicious, the upbeat tone gave that away. "Don't wanna get stuck checking the map and let someone else beat us to it or something."
"Yeah, I guess...but come on, just for a second? I kind of...need to breathe, remember?" To punctuate his statement, the spaceman stopped trying to hide his labored breathing from lugging himself along after the bounding blue demon. "Kinda could use a quick breather."
"Oh!" Graowr came to an abrupt halt, looking back at him. "Sorry! I forgot. Kind of used to working alone, or meeting people where I'm going. I guess my pace can be kind of rough." She let out a sheepish chuckle, letting an uneasy smile spread over her face, even if her expression remained more or less the same. "You can take a rest real quick. Check the map and stuff, I'll go have a look around and see if there's anything neat close by!" Before there was any time for debate, she had disappeared, dashing off in a blur of blue and black.
"This girl is gonna be the death of me..." Isaac mumbled, letting out a sigh. But he just shook his head, plodding along to find an upraised hunk of earth to sit on and catch his breath. The tablet was in his hands from his knapsack after a few moments to calm his breathing, and he pulled up the map.
Graowr came back jus in time to see him nodding to himself and putting it away again. "Should be just up ahead, actually. We're on the right track."
"Yeah! Let's go!" Her energy was infectious, and Isaac hopped up (as much as he could hop at all, in his heavy RIG) and dusted himself off, ready to go.
And they were off, running to where the map had shown the item drop would be landing.
