- Great training. -I said while turning my back to Alex and leaving
- Where are you going?
- To eat, I’m starving.
- Wait!
- What?
- Thank you for being patient with me, I suck at the axe.
- It's fine, you’re patient with me too, idiot.
- Let me join you, I’m hungry- he smiled
Once we were eating a morning snack, Alex asked:
- What do you most like about the book?
- That's a difficult question, since I liked every part of it. - I stopped talking to think about his question- Maybe the way it shows how strong we can be if we can take control of the mind.
- I agree. If we’re mentally strong, no one can take us down.
- Even if they try.
- That’s right, little shit - we laughed, because we know that there were a few moments where we wanted to take each other down.
- Can we say that we improved, the two of us?
- I think we can. I mean, you’re still aggravating, but it is what it is.
- You’re still annoying and an idiot, but it is what it is - I copy him. We share a smile.- I can see that you’re a lover of books, why is that?
- Books can make you travel far away without even noticing. You can feel a lot of emotions just reading pages and that’s incredible. Also, it can give you knowledge. If I continued to talk about this, we would be here for the next two hours. - he watched me thoughtfully and then asked- And you, a lover of what, except for the moon - he said, pointing to my bracelet.
- Of the ocean.
- You’re far from it at this base. And why are you a ocean’s lover?
- Because it’s peaceful, beautiful and fresh. At any day, any hour, I can sit on the sand and stare at the waves countless times. I can swim in the ocean feeling free, giving space to my thoughts and just enjoying the water, the feeling of tranquility. My favorite time to go there is at sunrise. It’s just like there’s no one else in the world, just me, the ocean and the sky. It’s like escaping reality.
- And you like the quiet, am I right?
- Indeed. But I can also like the noise, like at the initiation party, at Ilwon base, but I totally prefer being at the beach or at my room thinking about it.
- It seems there is something we have in commun. The appreciation of silence.
- I guess so. Can I ask you something? You don’t need to answer it, it’s fine if you don’t.
- Yes.
- Why didn't you talk to me in a different way? As I said before, you could've just told me you didn't want to approach the subject. I may say that I was concerned that I’ve said something wrong that hurted you. If that’s the case, I apologize, truly!
- I'm working on stuff like these. I'm complicated.
- If you want to, if you need me, I can help you any way you want. Just call me and I will be there for you.
- Thank you, Anya
- I thought my name was Little shit - we laughed
- And it is. When I want it to be.
- When you want ?
- Yeah. - I punched his arm with no strength- Idiot.
- I know. - and he gave me a full and truthful smile.
