Sebastian turned to Tom, one eyebrow arched in both question and silent amusement. “And, Indiana Hiddleston, do you happen to have a compass and a map handy?” he asked. Their hiking route had been easy enough, pretty straight forward actually, not to be missed, and yet, somehow, they had missed it. He wasn’t quite so sure how, but perhaps it had been them deep in conversation that had led them too far into the woods. And now they were standing just a few metres from a crossroads, and neither path had been used in a long time, it seemed. What Sebastian couldn’t quite remember was whether a hill had been in the trail map they had consulted at the start, but perhaps he had just missed it. “What does your phone say?” If they actually got a signal here, under the wide, leafy canopy, it would be a wonder, but hope died last, right? At least they had enough water and snacks to get through for a while. Provisions were the one thing neither had forgotten so easily. “Does your phone have a compass? I know iPhones are supposed to have them, unless you deleted it off your phone…” It would serve them right, if that had happened. They were two idiots standing in the woods, with no clue how they got there and even less idea of how to get out of their predicament. The least he could do, while waiting around, was looking around - and picking strawberries. At least those were mighty tasty this time of year. Sebastian started to laugh as well, because this was really like them to set out to do something and get lost doing it. “Okay, what does your phone say? Left or right? Or are we taking our chances?” It was still pretty early in the day, and apart from them putting their steps in, they wouldn’t loose too much, would they?
The Indiana Hiddleston quip from Seb made Tom scoff with amusement. Evidently, it wasn’t the case, or else they wouldn’t have ended up in this situation in the first place. “Of course I don’t,” He grumbled under his breath. Only they could manage to get lost on what was a supposedly simple hiking trail. They’d had to have taken a wrong turn somewhere - and here they were. “I don’t think that it knows, it wants to send us on this giant loop...” He turned the screen around so that Sebastian could have a look - bloody technology. He openly criticised the need to rely on it so much, and was made fun for it more times than he cared to count. In moments like this, he would rest his case. Holding the device up above his head to try and get a signal obviously wasn’t working, so he was open to (and a little desperate) to any other suggestions available. “You’re going to need to tell me how I actually do that...” He had the latest iPhone, Sienna had practically shoved one into his hand one day after watching him with his dinosaur iPhone 5 model for so many years. He didn’t have the slightest idea how to work everything on it, though. It was a gift that was a little bit lost on him. He turned to Sebastian with a sheepish smile once he had opened up the application, the only obstacle in front of him was figuring out how the thing actually worked. He pulled faces at the screen and started to tut and shake his head, like he had originally thought, utterly useless. “Are you going to help me out or carry on picking the strawberries?” He asked, but couldn’t keep his serious expression up for long before he was laughing. Only them. The two idiots of the day. He could already hear their girlfriend’s laughing later on when they recollected the tale. “I give up,” He shrugged and put his phone away. “Let’s take our chances and keep on going. Although, with how our instincts have been so far...” He trailed off and started to laugh. “It will be an adventure at least, come on, let’s see where we end up.”
