Nakia...

NA..

NAK-

NAKIA!

Jumping out of her trance, Nakia looked at Coran's face, which was way too close to her comfort, calling out her name. Yelping at the old Altean man, she pushed off her face with her hand in his forehead. Hugging the book against her chest, she sat up on the chair and deeply apologized to Coran for dozing off on his lesson about Altean literature.

The Altean tech acknowledged her apology, chuckling. "It reminds me a lot of my great grandfather. He used to fall asleep a lot on the meetings the previous king of Altea was ruling. Needless to say, we are used to having someone fall asleep on favorite parts of the story, just like you – Nakia."

Nakia flushed with embarrassment. "I don't usually fall asleep." She clutched against the necklace around her neck. "I am still making myself at home here. Princess Allura did advise me to and I believe in her." Meeting the Can other's gaze, she smiled. "Forgive me Coran."

"It's all right, Nakia. I did see what your culture was made of when I visited the Realm of Demelvia with the king as a young adventurer. We needed more alliances and with the help of an old friend, we manage to pierce your home's location. It was quite intriguing."

Leila looked at the two with a pout. "This is cool and all, but can we at least learn more about the code you were speaking about?" Coran broke from his daze and snapped back to reality.

"I apologize Leila. Nakia, please take a seat. I shall explain the code of the Paladins." Leila and Nakia nodded as the chairs were placed. Coran approached the mic and called off the training for a break. Roe knew her cue was to get to the trio as fast as she could.

"Finally!" She broke through the threshold. "They get it! They are finally bonding with my technique!!" Roe exclaimed.

"More like... Overpowering them with the past days of training you gave them?" Nakia commented.

"Maybe also when you gave them a little bit of a hard time with the bots and listened to the princess to settle to the Altean child level?" Leila pointed out.

"Also, you did inspire them to eat more the food goo after a while," Coran said, leaving Roe with a beet red face of pure embarrassment.

"I can't help it okay! They are like children of my own! I love seeing them running around and having a good nights sleep!" She whined.

"Shiro seems to enjoy this training. Quite a lot." Leila mentioned as she described the way he followed Roe's instructions to the letter, how he did enjoy performing his special moves and finally, getting into a lot of compromising positions on the body-to-body fighting sessions with the others.

The girls looked at the air, thinking of the boys wrestling, trapped in some weird position where Lance and Keith would be entangled on the floor. The blush was rising on the girls cheeks as they waved off the thoughts at once, turning to Coran.

"We are ready to listen to you, Coran!", they said in unison. Coran was quite surprised by their outburst and chuckled as he instructed them to sit on their chairs, firmly warning Nakia to not fall asleep. Nakia nodded with a giggle.

"A book?" Blaytz asked Alfor as they sat around the reunion table. "What is it about? I thought the technology was everything here, now a book?"
