"Well I figured we'd actually venture out. There's a town that's only a couple of days away that I usually go to for supplies... whatever I can't get on my own. Got the route memorized, have stashes placed along the way. It's wor...th..." Arc's words fell away as a soft sound began to pulse steadily from the cockpit area. "Hang on," he said seriously, his concern unmistakable. Placing his spoon back in his bowl, Arc stood and moved toward the helm of the plane, a furrowed brow worn across his previously soft face. The pulsing tone came from the radar, a feature he'd managed to repair, though to a much lesser extent. It could only mean one thing.<br/><br/>Knowing that Madison's curiosity would not stay silent for long, Arc turned back toward her, the soft light beating like a heart behind him. "Radar. Used to be used to track things in the sky. Nothing flies so... I rigged it to watch the ground. it only goes off when something is close. About 500 yards from here. Could be just a wandering animal but it's a pretty big dot. I'm guessing it's people." Of course this revelation disturbed Arc more than a little. If there were human beings close to his that close to his home, it meant that they could theoretically find him, or at the very least accidentally stumble on something they shouldn't. "I need to get a better look. Will you come with me?"<br/><br/>Not that Arc wanted to put Madison in danger, but the extra backup could be invaluable, in case things went south. She'd proven herself more than capable in a fight, but he hoped that, this time at least, there wouldn't be a fight. With any hope and some luck, they would pass by without even knowing he and Madison were there. But then again, Arc hadn't been particularly lucky in the past, save for the chance meeting the pair experienced. His eyes lingered on her as he remembered that day in the cave. It had only been a few short days, but already he had grown so fond of her. How would he be able to tell her that he loved her? How would he even tell himself?
