Four days.

Four days after they came back.

Four days after they came back with Shika looking like a breathing corpse. We were staked out in the No Man's Mountains doing nothing more than keeping doomed clear of the place.

"Remind me again," Colin walked in with Adeline, "Why were stuck in this mountain cleaning up doomed?"

"Because captain Cameron said so..." Adeline replied timidly.

"Please do not call him captain." Ash groaned out from her chair and Colin piped in.

"Technically Shika's our captain so he can't actually push us around–"

"But he's also her captain too so that makes him our leader right–?"

"Addie you know what I meant!" Colin yelled.

We all sat in the room silently waiting for our next extermination mission. Clearly one of the elephants in this crowded room was what the heck was going on? Nothing made sense and yet so many were caught up in a battle they didn't know the cause of.

Colin let out a sigh before perking up, me and Adeline looking at him with raised brows.

"Let's play a game." He picked up a scrunched piece of paper from the desk and threw it at Ash.

It hit her on the nose and she opened an irritated eye, "What, idiot?"

"Profile us." He said blankly.

"Huh?"

"Heard you're the best at profiling people and doomed. Wanna prove it?"

Ash opened both eyes and slowly blinked before letting out a huge yawn. She gave him a hard, narrow gaze before sitting up with a smirk.

"Sure. Who's first?"

Everyone looked at Adeline and she let out a small comical whine.

"Why me...?"

"Okay," Ash clapped her hands, "Shy and kind. Little sister type, probably because you were a little sister, I'd say family of five kids. Single parent, explains why you're so used to pitching in. An eye for archery."

Colin and I looked at the little red head who simply nodded and looked down, quite embarrassed.

"K-girl, you're the responsible, level headed one. Disciplined and skilled, less likely to break a rule sadly. You also act like a big sister, even though you could be the youngest in the room. You have your moments of fun, but that's all they are, at most, moments."

She stuck her tongue out at me when she finished and I sent a glare. This honestly wasn't the time to play pointless games.

Colin, duly impressed nodded slightly and gestured at himself.

"And me?"

"Hmm... Naturally cocky because you grew up in some form of gang? Where the only way to make you're way around would be to bluff or be buff. Brains; average. Definitely a rule breaker, no sense of respect for others... Most of the time."

Colin looked shocked as Adeline let out a small snicker, and I felt my mouth smirk.

"Where's the fun without a little rebellion? I have more good points than you'd like to admit."

Ash leaned back in her chair and acted like she was thinking long and hard. Then answered abruptly, "Nope."

"You're lying."
