[Close Encounter...]

On the third day, Chase awoke feeling rested -- awoke to the sun already hanging precariously high in the sky, betraying the later hour of the day. He turned, sitting up and grasping his t-shirt. In the heat of the night, he'd thrown it off.

Craning his head, he tried to check the colouring of his back -- damn pale skin betrayed bruises too easily. He sighed and got up to pack up the bag, ready to head back to responsibility. As it turned out, he couldn't even escape properly for two days.

"Jay," he murmured, leaning back down to kiss Jay awake, soft kisses pressed to his shoulder, jaw, lips. "Hey, angel," he added with a smirk. "Time to go."

"Suppose we gotta get back?" asked Jay, still not thrilled about the idea, but more willing to go.

He stroked one of his thumbs just behind Chase's left ear.

Chase sighed. "Wilson said he'd hunt us down if we weren't back in three days. After yesterday, he might go mad too. Yeah," he said regretfully. "We have to go back."

"Well, we got through it the first time," said Jay. "That'll just make it easier the next time one of us needs a break. Right?" He smiled, though he still wasn't looking at the spot where he'd seen the apparition.

"Maybe next time, we can just go to the beach, keep walking," he said quietly. "Avoid the dinosaurs, hm?"

"Yeah, I'm thinkin' that might be a good plan." He smiled sheepishly. "I tried?" He was referring to the whole trip.

"It was nice," he said softly. "Until the end, it really was." He stood. "We'll go when you're ready."
