Sunlight streamed into the room, giving it a soft warm glow, Blue's eyes crack open slightly at the light's invasion of the dark room. He lies in bed staring at the ceiling, thinking. After a few moments he realizes that someone else is in the room, he sits up quickly and his eyes dart around the room and land on a young girl with red hair and freckles dotted across her nose and cheeks. She had a fair and round face, and emerald green eyes. She heard him sit up and looked to find a shirtless boy sitting in the bed, she quickly picked up her cleaning supplies and started to put them back on the cart. "G-Good morning" she stammered embarrassed. Blue stayed silent, still dazed from just waking up. The girl apologized for cleaning the room without asking first. "I just thought since you were asleep i could get it done quickly and wouldn't wake you up." She explained.
He nodded and got out of bed. The girls face went red at seeing the boy without any clothes on. "Oh! I-I uh... y-you don't..." she stuttered turning her gaze away from him. Confused he looked down and upon realizing the problem, his face turned red as well, he quickly threw on his clothes in a panic. "Sorry for that, i completely forgot" he said quickly apologizing. "Its ok now... Im clothed" he assured her. She turned and he saw that her face was still a slight shade of pink. She apologized again, embarrassed, before leaving the room and pulling the cart with her. What a start to a brand new day he thought to himself. He checked under the bed for the bag, he pulled it out and put it on the bed, opening it and checking to make sure all the money was still there. Upon seeing that none of the credits had been stolen he zipped it back up and slung the backpack over one shoulder. He made his way to the entrance. The girl was at the front desk and her cheeks quickly turned red upon seeing him. Opening the door he looked back at her and mouthed the word sorry and smiled awkwardly before leaving. Now out in the streets he needed to plan where he was to move on to next.
