“No problemo,” he chimed, “and nah, knock yourself out,” he said, failing to comprehend what Rook might want with the old tire. Maybe he'd use it to steamroll plant samples? That didn't really make sense... but he couldn't come up with a better theory. Perhaps he'd find out later; right now, the cot was calling to him and Rook seemed to sense as much. “Take it easy!” he bade as a final farewell before making his way back inside.

He plopped down on the scanty bed, nearly landing atop the little gadget he'd found earlier. “Oh, right,” he muttered quietly to himself, lifting it and squinting at the little numbers and dials, but not really seeing anything. The boy supposed he'd been productive enough for the day—and maybe he'd even earned some brownie points with Savina for escorting the new recruit around.

It would probably be cool to duck out and head to Halifax again soon—to polish off whatever work was yet to be done—but he wanted more rest before the lengthy journey. He flopped over onto his side, set the device on the earthen floor of his humble abode, and drifted off into a light (but restful) slumber.
