As his eyes reopened in his pod, Alexander yawned. He pushed open the top of the pod, rising to his feet, as Kary did the same not too far from him.
He turned his head toward the window, noticing the sun had just set.
"God… I'm so tired. And we can't even rest yet… I hope the rewards are worth it…" he complained, stretching himself, before jumping out of the pod.
As he stretched, he caught a whiff of his sweaty smell, and his nose wrinkled.
"Yikes. I guess rushing over here earlier really made me work. I feel like I came back from the gym, and forgot to wash. I'm all sticky…"
Kary passed next to him and giggled.
"You smell sticky. Let's go take a shower real quick and eat a bite before we jump back in."
He acquiesced and walked in the bathroom's direction. And against all his heightened hormones of watching Kary's naked form wiggling before him, he did nothing improper.
