Since that day I've been away from Anya. I didn't stop training or helping her with the fight, but outside of that there are no interactions. It was my fault, I shouldn't have told her anything. It was a moment too personal and I'm not used to it.
It's lunchtime and I'm looking for an empty place. I look around the dining room and almost all the seats are occupied. Fuck. I don't have the patience for this.
The moment I turned my back, Caitlyn shows up.
- Hi, come sit with me.
- Are you alone?
- Why do you ask?
- I'm not in a good mood for social interactions.
- Hmm, so let's eat outside.
- It's not necessary, I'm fine on my own.
- I'll go with you, we need to have a conversation.
We took a sandwich and went outside. A part of the outdoor space is reserved for leisure, has benches, has stone tables and has some garbage bins.
- Don't forget to eat something else, otherwise you'll feel bad.
- Yes dad, that advice also applies to you ... Look, I'm going to be direct, what's going on between you and Anya?
- Nothing.
- I know you're not exactly best friends, but you've been unbearable. One goes in, the other goes out, one speaks, the other shuts up... it's a very heavy environment between you two. Even Captain Pierce has already asked me what's going on.
- Caitlyn, as I told you a few moments ago, I'm not in a good mood, so it's not the best time to pull my ears.
- That disturbs teamwork, you know?
- I can't do anything.
- Yes, you can, talk to her. Solve the problem. Whatever it is, can be solved. Just talk.
- I'll try.
- You promise?
- Oh please ... don't make puppy eyes. That's blackmail.
- Then promise me.
- Fine, I promise.
- Great, now let's eat. - After a few moments of silence she asked - Do you miss home?
- Which one?
- Ilwon
- Not the place itself, but I miss a certain person.
⁃ WHAT? You? Alex heart of stone, miss someone?
- Now I'm going to have to kill you. You've discovered my secret.
- Let me guess. Flyn?
- No.
-Rue? Hmmm, no. I KNOW. Collin.
- I have no idea who these people are.
-Dominick? No, it's very unlikely.
- It would be impossible.
- OHHHHH I KNOW. It's your roommate. His name starts with E , right?
- Right. Ethan, by the way, and if you tell him anything, consider yourself dead. Understood?
- I was scared but I just found out that you have a heart of honey.
- Shut up.
- Did I just see a smile? My God, today a saint fell from the altar.
