A soft creak came from the door as Clement opened it. With a candle in his hand, he held the door open for (Y/N) and AJ to get inside first. The room wasn't too big but not too small either, just the perfect size to hold three people. There was two bunkbeds pushed against the opposite sides of the room with a small, barricaded window in the middle. The room wasn't in the best condition but right now, any place with a roof over it was more than a miracle.

AJ walked ahead and looked at the barred window in delight.

"That looks like a really safe window." He pointed out.

"It sure does." (Y/N) confirmed as she followed his line of sight.

He studied her expression for a bit before turning back to face the window. "Good."

With tired steps, (Y/N) walked towards the bed and sat down on it. A yawn escaped from her mouth as Clement placed his cap and the candle on the dresser. She then laid back down on the bed, letting her legs hang from the side lazily. She yawned yet again, making Clement chuckle. 

"Well, someone's tired" 

"You bet." She replied, idly grinning up at him. "God, I missed sleeping on a bed. . ."

As the two of them continued talking, AJ's eyes fell on the box which Clement had taken out from the wardrobe this morning. He shuffles closer and peeked inside it, his face painted with awe. "This box has so many colors."

"Well, must have been an artist living in here." Clement chimed in as he looked back at AJ.

His face soon twisted into a confused one. "What's an artist?"

Clement contemplated before speaking. 

"Well, It's like. . .a person who colors a lot." He explained as he moved towards AJ. "Draws. Does pictures."

"Soo. . .like Tenn?" AJ asked as he pulled out the chair, taking a seat.

Clement nodded in confirmation, his lips tugging into a smile. "Yeah, like Tenn."

"Huh. .I like to do pictures too." AJ mumbled as he picked up a pencil from the table.

(Y/N) propped one hand up as a support for her head and watched the two of them talk. A fond smile naturally grew on her face as she listened to their on-going conversation.

"What are you drawing?" Clement asked as peered at AJ's drawing, causing him to hide it with his small hands.

"H—hey! Don't look now!" AJ pouted, now fully covering his drawing. "I'll show you after it's done."
