It’s nighttime. He’ll have to adjust to the transdimensional lag sooner or later. Sorry, a fourth of team MRPN is just that pathetic, though that hasn’t deterred its newest member from latching onto him anyway. Magnolia sits to the side, happily munching on its berry as Ren gathers up a few sticks and leaves to cushion himself from the rough ground.

It’s not much, but he’d figured that they’d put their survival training to use sooner rather than later.

Of course, once he’s laid down with a sigh Magnolia finishes the last of the berry and scrambles up to Ren’s stomach. And Ren might have…helped him up a little, but nobody saw that. His new buddy plops itself onto his stomach and looks at Pak, giving it a cheerful wave.
