After yesterday’s rainfall, the rainforest is more sopping wet than ever. The palm trees let loose a steady drip above us, that’s almost refreshing after this long walk. I’m sweaty enough, it’s not like I can get more clammy.
Batman is flagging. I think all that wading and swimming yesterday must have done a number on his body. Combined with another morning of constant walking, and my indomitable speed, and it’s all I can do to let him catch up.
“Come on!” I finally snap, standing in wait for him atop a hill. I check my tablet, then hiss back to him. “The item drops in less than five minutes! We have to make headway.”
He pants, and it takes him a few seconds to speak. “You go on ahead. I have to … I can’t keep up …” he wheezes.
I snarl. “And get jumped by a pack of slavering wolves, without you to assist me? Like hell, Batman! You’re coming with me!”
As I move over to grab his arm, I see the first embers of anger emerge flicker to life upon his face. “Don’t try to grab me, Enel.”
“Oho!” I take a step back. “Don’t get shirty with me, Bats. I’m just trying to, oh, you know, win the game. Your lacklustre work ethic is not impressing me in the least.”
His nostrils flare inbetween breaths. “I don’t take orders from you, Enel.”
“REALLY?” I take one blazing step towards him, rearing up to my full height.
Then the tablet beeps.
“Son of a …. look what you made me do, Batman!” I shoot daggers at him. “The item’s dropped already, and we didn’t make it in time!”
He makes a pushing gesture towards me, his other hand braced against a knee. “Go. I’ll be right behind you.”
TCH …!
Nothing for it! I turn and take a crouching start, jumping over the hill and towards the drop site. To hell with any would-be intruders! I won’t let anyone take one of my item drops!

Quote:Batnel move from B15 to B7 to grab the item, which should have dropped by now by my count.
