꧁☬ 7:56PM. Eve wasn't late yet. She sighed, then started walking up all the million of stairs. Already just getting up there was drowning so much energy. She groaned a few times, but eventually made it. Her steps were quiet, but lid enough the be heard. It was dark outside, the moon casting a bright shimmer across the sky. She noticed Zeke, who was also looking at the moon. He was leaning against the fence, his back facing her. Based on the smoke, she could figure out he was smoking.☬꧂

꧁☬ «Do you want training next year as well?» He asked, not even turning around to face her. She walked up next to him. «Yes..please. And whenever you need my support in studying, tell me.» He rolled his eyes. The wind was blowing right through the tower, which made her smell his cologne. It reminded her of wood, honey and maby a bit of whiskey, mixed with the smell of his cigarette. She surprisingly liked the scent more than she thought. But it was a bit too strong for her liking. She preferred lighter smells. He flicked his cigarette off and then turned to the left, facing her. «Let's start, shall we.»  ☬꧂

꧁☬ As always, the training was hard. «Did you get even stronger?» She asks while dodging. As an answer she got hit into the stomach. «Hng!» She gasped and fell onto the floor. «I told you so many times, protect your weak spots. Head and stomach.» He sighed and pulled her up, her wound magically healing. «You're such a pussy.» She rolled her eyes. He kicked her, but she dodged. «Good job.» Her eyes widened. «It can praise?» A pair of fists met her, sending her back down onto the cold stone ground. «Shut up.» He said. «You're annoying. You know that?» Eve rolled her eyes. She stood back up, trying not to get hit by his 300 punches. «Calm down, I need a break. We've been training for two hours straight now.» He sighed. «Fine.»  ☬꧂

꧁☬ «Did you think about my offer?» She nodded. «I'm thinking about it. I'm not sure yet. But I don't think I will accept it..» he exhaled. «Alright.» Now she looked confused. «Say, why did you ask me?» He sighed. «Theo wanted me to ask you.» «Oh..okay.» «And....perhaps you have something I want.». She sat down on the cold stone floor. «What are you doing these holidays?» He looked up. «Eat, sleep, repeat.» She giggled. «No, but actually I'll be going home. My father said he would have targets for me. Probably with my siblings.» She blinked two times. «Do you enjoy killing people?» He looked at her confused. «Of course.» She sighed. «I don't get you at all. Besides that I hate you, you're always so random! You could cry and the next second you'd laugh!» He scratched his neck. «I hate myself for it. It's one of my mothers traits, but my dad can change moods pretty fast as well.» She nodded. «My mom is a silent person. My dad is kinda adventurous.» She said while looking back up at him. «Do I look like I asked?» She rolled her eyes. «Maby, if you'd be a little more nicer, you'd have more friends.» He groaned. «Oh shut up!» He kicked her, but only lightly, making her giggle. Even if she didn't notice, a small smile twitched on his lips. ☬꧂
