"The Boss Man is gonna be upset..."

The dense forests were no stranger to Keron, quite common with many uses. This one, was a simple and clear hiking path with wooden signposts leading to an encampment perched on a hill which was not too far longer away from a particular duo.

A navy-blue, light brown haired Keronian gladly directed the forefront of this small party, hauling a combination between a survival and military bag, with a rolled up tent and important camping goodies packed in and out. The young man reached behind him for a flask, swishing around the contents inside before taking a swig, exhaling a content sigh.

Then, he glanced over his shoulder, stopping momentarily for his partner to catch up, calling after.

“Hey, Ryoko! Are you doing alright? We’re almost there!”

Koruru was very well confident that she did indeed look, accompanied by a grin! Though when she began her business, he turned away and pretended to not hear a single thing until she was finished. After about a few seconds in passing, he finally asked.

Koruru hoped to reassure her with that, letting a drawn out sigh leave his breath before returning his attention to this night-time adventure! With a glance up at the waterfall from before, he faced his partner with a smile.

“Personally, the army was a load of fun and also challenging! My dad’s in the army, and watching videos and marches of our soldiers was reaaally inspiring, so I enlisted early! At first, I started off with the mobile infantry division before they transfered me over to the assassin team as a sniper.”

Koruru lost himself in a slew of passion about his training, beaming brightly with a proud smile. He continued speaking with a bit of a break to catch his breath.

“Then I worked my way up the ranks really fast to being one of the top percentile in my class, and after graduation I served in two wars! Extremely exciting! Perks of having family in the army, and even someone to look up to, yeah?”

“That fun, huh? I could never imagine it being fun. Of course I love you guys, don’t get me wrong, but I could never kill people for a living.” She paused in thought, the let out a chuckle. “Heh, and to think I help lock those kinds of people up.”

“Hey, there’s nothing wrong with loving your dad! I’m very attached to my parents, so it’s totally understandable! Though, I don’t think I’d get the chance to work with him… he’s out of my league. But that’s cool that you got to work with your dad!”

After a brief uphill trek, the land began to level out evenly, and to their right was the waterfall! The young marksman made an immediate detour and shuffled through brush to make his way past the fauna. Once they were past that, he sat himself right on the edge of the cliff face, looking down with a smile.

She kept her distance from the edge of the cliff though. And Koruru sitting right on the edge put her on.. Edge.

And in that sudden moment of realization, he reflexively turned to face Ryokoko, blinking in curiosity.

“Hey, Ryoko! Are you doing alright? We’re almost there!”

“N-N-No! That’s not what I meant, silly! I meant, like uh… like uhm…”

He took another furtive glance around the area, hoping that there was another solution to this before shamefully answering.

Koruru retorted almost instantly, quite embarrassed by this whole ordeal! He crossed his arms as well and pouted.

The young marksman reassured, still flushed the bright pink he was before, clearing his throat afterwards.

Koruru was startled by that idea, blinking a few times in realization! With a slight glare following suit, he retorted.

“H-Hey! Wait up! Geez…”

Unfortunately, there wasn’t a restroom to be seen uphill, let alone any sign of a campsite or rest area once they’ve reached the apex of the hill. Though, to Koruru’s prediction, there indeed was a waterfall within the distance, though that didn’t help his issue what-so-ever.

“J-Just pick a spot... I don’t think it really matters at this point, unless we want an accident to happen...”

Koruru mentioned as he unzipped his cargo shorts and loosened his belt holding them firmly, wiggling something out before he began letting loose. A pleased sigh escaped him as it splattered against the tree, turning his head back over to Ryokoko briefly.

“Hey, Ryoko! Are you doing alright? We’re almost there!”

“Aww, you’re being too nice Ryoko, sheesh~” He ended with a kiss onto her forehead, plopping right down next to his partner right onto the dirt and admired the lakeside view.

Koruru scanned past the lake, pondering what could possibly be within the forest line, mayhaps hoping for a fascinating point of interest or two!

A few meters into the path and one could hear the sound of running water, and in closer inspection towards the sound source was a small river stream that flowed into the lake. The young marksman traced along the outer parts of the river, staring at the remnants of glimmering light from the water as the night slowly fell.
