Caught Lacking

The next morning, Tessa and Lotus, along with the military team's healer, made a big breakfast for everyone, while the rest of the unit took a swim in the lake.

Undershirts and military issued boxer briefs were the fashion of the day, getting the essentials clean while they frolicked in the water. The mages had promised to use air magic to dry everyone when they got out, so for now, it was just time to relax.

Once the cooking was done, the healers traded spots with them, and ate while floating in the water. At first, the unit thought that they'd gotten the better end of that deal, until they realized that it took longer to break camp than it did to cook breakfast.

Karl ended up having to use his sword to disassemble their portion of the camp, as Rae had made triple bunk hammocks for them to sleep in, but the web was too strong for a normal knife to cut through. If he pushed that hard, he would cut through the tree instead.
