Seeking a moment of quiet from the controlled chaos that was the Sigma 6 team, Spirit leaned against a tree and closed his eyes. He hadn't ventured too far from the ROCC, putting just enough distance between the vehicle and himself so as to leave the noise behind.
There was the sound of flapping wings followed by a sudden presence next to him. Spirit just held out one hand, cracking an eye open slightly to watch his peregrine falcon, Billy. The large bird squawked at him and shifted closer, tilting his feathered head to lean into Spirit's touch.
The man gently stroked the smooth feathers, murmuring, "Came to join me?"
Billy just settled himself on the conveniently located branch and closed his own eyes, seemingly going to sleep then and there. Spirit smiled and relaxed. It was good to be in the company of friends, especially when they had similar aims.
