"You're finally fucking awake."

Sky was sitting up on his bed, his back supported by a mountain of pillows. He had a roll of bread in his uninjured hand, and rolled his eyes when he saw Ty walk in.

He took a big bite of bread, and mumbled with his mouth full, "This is what I get for saving your life?"

Ty growled, knowing Sky was just doing that to spite him. He snapped, "Can you act like a fucking soldier for once?"

Now Sky was getting a little pissy too. It was a little absurd, he doesn't recall the last time he was angry. He knew he had anger management problems, hell, his discipline folder was a novel long because of his discipline cases as a cadet. However, he realized he hasn't been angry as of late, and he wondered whether it had anything to do with his newfound powers.

Regardless, Sky was pissed once again. This time, it seemed to escalate faster, his skin burning as he remarked with a sneer, "What crawled up your ass and died today, Ellis?"

Like always, Ty's hackles raised and his growl grew deeper. His eyes started to have their purple tinge to it. His fangs were already peeking out, and Sky somehow thought of it as a win. He was prepared to fight back whatever Ty was going to shout at him, but his eyes widened when he saw his captain visibly try to control himself.

It worked.

Ty shut his mouth tight, hiding his fangs. He also closed his eyes and turned away, taking a deep breath while rubbing his forehead. When he exhaled, his eyes opened with his mouth, and the dragon fangs were gone. Sky's anger died down, replaced with surprise. Ty used to be as explosive as he was, even if he didn't blow up as much as he did.

Ty spoke, this time with annoyance rather than fury, "Look, I'm here to give you a rundown of things, not to start a shouting match."

Sky smirked, "I would win."

Ty narrowed his eyes challengingly, "Yeah, sure."

Before Sky could come up with a comeback, Ty cut him off by starting his report, "All civilians who didn't have a relative in other villages to stay with are settled in our shelters. Storage moved to the basement, minor civilian casualties all healed up..."

He went on and on as Sky listened, chewing on his bread roll. He perked up when Ty started to touch on depleted medical supplies.

"Any soldier in critical condition?" he asked right when Ty paused to breathe.

The captain looked away and solemnly said, "Aceti. He woke up recently, actually. His, uh, hand got caught in a creeper explosion. Blew right off. Seto's working on something, but he said it'll take time. The Drew brother too. He got bitten, but the antivenom was delivered quickly. Still resting up, though."

Sky frowned and softly inquired, "How's Mitch and Killia dealing with it?"

Ty shrugged, looking down at his boots now, "It seemed like Killia's doing better, since her brother is doing well. She was really closed off at first too. Didn't talk to anyone when I put her on shift. Mitch is... Uh..."

He met Sky's concerned eyes, "He's asking Seto if he could move Jerome up to their bunk, but Seto hasn't decided. He actually wanted to get our opinion on that."

Sky hummed, thinking before he concluded, "If Mitch knows what to do, go right ahead. Jerome needs support, and I'm sure Mitch can provide that."

Ty nodded, "Alright then, I'll send a word."
