I lead Arysn to the training room where as usual Mother Chucker is working on her numcuck skills and throwing blades. She misses the target.
"Good form," I comment "but um here..." I raise her arm a little higher and take a blade of my own.
"Its in the flick of the wrist." I take a breath and let it go as I send the blade spiraling into the middle of the target.
"Okay. Thanks Cat." She smiles and copies my pose and force. She hits the target square.
Smiling, I walk away.
"This is where we do all our training." Homeslice, a 12 year old girl, snires.
"All are welcome." I hug her. I love her as if she was my sister, but she's my best friend's, Knockout's little sister.
"You look as if you're all family..." Arysn says with grief and loss in her voice.
"Yea we're all tight knit." Say a voice I have loved since I came here.
"Hi baby." Welvin Da Great, aka my boyfriend, says hugging me around the waist and kissing my shoulder.
"Ew!! Cat! Welvin!" Homeslice hisses.
I laugh picking Homeslice up and holding her in a hug.
"About the mission...." Arysn says awkwardly.
"Oh yes. Sorry!" I set down Homeslice and pry Welvin's arms from my waist.
"I'll see you all at dinner." I smile.
"Bye babe." I kiss Welvin's cheek. Taking one look back at my love. His short, brown hair, caramel colored skin and dark brown eyes makes his smile instantly glowing.
I smile leading Arysn to my room to talk.
