Jack rocked back on his heels, tapping his fingers on his sidearm and studying his surroundings.
Nothing really interesting here. A few trees, a few rocks, a few team members, a few... whoa.

"I'm just going to go... over there." Jack said, pointing in a random direction. Nobody really cared. A wave, a nod, and a 'yes, sir.' were his inspiration to shift ten feet to the right and turn another way.

He gave a slight nod, muttered 'just peachy', and walked away.
