Fight or flight? Normally, Luke would fight. They were natives, he could easily out-perform them, and even if in the impossible situation he was hit, they were throwing spears! They couldn't even pierce his body armour, let alone hurt him.
But then there was Hazel. She couldn't fight, and even if she could, Luke was fairly certain that she could never bring herself to kill someone. They were running, following this person who they had only just met. But the route they were taking seemed a good one, as they ducked their way through vines and leaves, as the sounds of pursuit died into the distance.
Their new friend (Luke thought he recognised the species but wasn't sure) was obviously in prime physical condition, but Luke began to wonder about Hazel. He could feel her growing heavier in his arms, and she stumbled more often. They had only ran about three kilometers, less even, but Hazel obviously wasn't used to it.
Why are you hanging on to her? She's more trouble than she's worth...
Luke shook his head vigorously, and wished he could disable his subconscious every now and then. But it was kinda right; in most cases, he'd just leave someone who held him back in any way. The only reason he was staying with her was because...
Because what?
Well you took a while to work that one out...
Now his subconscious was really pissing him off.
