It was quarter to two in the morning and some apprentices were feeling restless for some action.

In the pitch black, slender Liam crept towards Henry's bed, a sheepishly stupid grin on his face. He knelt beside the low bed and tugged on the blanket that covered his muscular friend. Then, when that didn't elicit a reaction, he poked his massive arm muscle.

"Psst!"

Henry rolled over to face the wall. At this, Liam rolled his eyes and poked his friend again.

"Ugh, what Liam?" Henry asked, rubbing his hand over his face.

"Sura says we should go out for drinks."

He spoke through his hand, one eye peeking at Liam between his fingers, "You mean you do and somehow you conned Sura into saying yes?"

"Well...yeah. C'mon."

"How old are you again?"

"Not eighty like you act, old man." Liam chuckled, standing up from the floor now and offering a hand to Henry, "Come on, you rarely let loose."

"Because the work we do here is important."

"Ooh, work here is important, my ass," Liam mocked, "Stuff rarely happens. Therefore, we should make the most of the time we have, before the stuff that rarely happens, happens."

"I hate your logic."

"You really love it because without me, you and your sore ass would be as dull as stone." Liam wiggled his fingers to coax his friend up.

Henry grabbed his hand, "You getting into poetry now? Mr 'Dull-As-Stone'?"

"But, of course, dear peasant, for I am a regular Shakespeare, where for art thou to know." Liam bowed.

"You know Shakespeare was a peasant too right?"

"Don't be a smart-ass with me now, Henry, else I'll need to get blackout drunk to forget it."

Henry laughed at this and followed Liam out of his room.

"Sura will be waiting for us by the entrance. You know, because she is more efficient than - "

"My chiselled ass, yeah, got it."

"I said sore and dull, not chiselled - "

"But stone can be chiselled." Henry noted smugly.

"I - "

Frowning when he heard more low chatter, Henry peeked around the corner briefly and put his arm across Liam's chest, holding him back a moment when he had caught a glimpse of a man and two children leaving one of the dorms, bags packed.

"Hey - "

Henry moved his hand to cover his friend's annoying mouth as he listened to what they said.
