Hearing the floor creak, Vivica tried to get up quickly, forgetting she was bound, and rolled out of the sleeping mat.
Wiggling her way back to a sitting position, she looked towards the source of the sound to see Kion staring nervously back at her.
'''
Kion: Sorry, I-I was going to go use a pot real quick and didn't want to wake you.
Vivica: You're fine, I blame Yi-su. She's always trying to sneak around in the morning, so I'm kind of jumpy. Speaking of, since it's morning, why don't you just take me with you, then once you're done we can go see if Mirra-su isn't ready to untie me.
Kion: Alright.
'''
Vivica braced herself for everyone's comments as Kion picked her up and made his way to the common room where Yineh and Wafit were sitting together drinking tea.
'''
Wafit: I'm hoping this is some strange Mirra-su thing and not something I should be concerned about.
Vivica: Mirra-su.
Wafit: *relieved sigh*
'''
Kion sat Vivica down next to Wafit then made his way to the pot room.
'''
Yineh: *unenthusiastic* Suppose Ki-su would probably get in trouble if anything happened to you.
Vivica: Probably.
'''
Vivica's eyes went wide as Yineh approached her wearing a devious smile.
'''
Vivica: W-what are you going to do?
Yineh: *maniacal giggling*
Wafit: Yi~su?
'''
Yineh pounced on Vivica and tickled her mercilessly until Kion came running out of the pot room to see what was going on.
'''
Yineh: Oh~ don't look at me like that. She's fine. I just had to get the grumpy look off her face for a moment. *snickering*
'''
Vivica looked towards Reteh and Demoron, whom both entered from the hallway.
'''
Demoron: *concerned* What's going on out here?
Yineh: Let's wait for Lina. That way we don't have to repeat the story too many times.
'''
Vivica turned her ears towards Lina's room and listened carefully as the group fell silent while they sipped tea.
'''
Lina: *muffled* Veck... like seriously now. At least I'm more awake now.
*long silence*
Lina: Come on Lina, just open the door and go out... I'm sure everyone else is already awake and waiting for you...
*short silence*
Lina: Nee I'm not worrying about that anymore... and nee I'm neet to do that to calm myself down. I already told you everyone is waiting for us.
*short silence*
Lina: Nee! We are going out this door right this moment—nee more excuses.
'''
Turning her eyes to the hallway, Vivica watched Lina walk into the trainee common and wave awkwardly to the group as she stared at her.
