Eko lets Matthew guide her through the rest of the level, checking out the lecture halls and study areas for the students and soldiers and moving around the levels from there.
The brunette, with her Commander, had begun to see the world that was Allegiant. Hours seemed to have crept past them, and deep within the evening, they finally found themselves in front of the training arenas.
Matthew watched as her eyes lit up, wondering when a girl ever had this effect on him.
It wasn't normal, whatever this was, and he put it down to the building chemistry between them. The knowledge that potentially nothing could ever happen, nor was she in the place mentally or emotionally to be considering any thoughts running through his head at the moment.
"I did read that you guys held the best training facilities here," oh, she had hoped that the rumours were true.
She had been dying to get in there to flex her abilities. Being crammed into the infirmary meant she couldn't go wondering when she wanted, nor disappear to defeat any monsters.
Eko's disappearance would truly be noticed if she had disappeared for hours on end, which meant she needed to keep herself off the radar of such things. Much to her dismay, she could begrudgingly only imagine what those annoying warriors were getting up to without her to keep them in check.
Matthew grinned at the woman before him; she showed the same excitement as he would get when relishing that he could let off steam in the most destructive way, pushing their limits in training.
"With better technology, evidently, if we weren't limited, Jesse could create more for the training systems, but we're working on it for now. With what we have. It's good. I think you'll be pleased with the facilities."
Matthew made his way from the elevator to level sixteen, "three levels, as I mentioned before, and each was designed for a different station. Level sixteen is for the staff of Allegiant and the elite. Level fourteen and fifteen are for our soldiers, and level thirteen is the cadet's training programs."
"And we're on sixteen?"
Punching in his code, the grand doors slid open, revealing an enormous training arena, and the man watched as the brunette's form swayed from foot to foot in excitement.
"We're on sixteen. I'm confident to believe your skillset is up to the minimum requirements in this arena."
Eko turned to the man; glee filled her as he smiled at her ecstatic state. He was entranced with her being, her happiness in need for a session, and her desire to train. Perhaps it was simply in the way she came alive, almost the way that anyone does with something that brought them joy these days.
"If you still want to, of course," he smiled widely. The whole time, he had never thought he could spend this much time with a person, that alone being a stranger.
