"It didn't." [i] He said quietly, eyes still closed and head tilted to the sky. He didn't offer up why he knew that, and he didn't show any signs of telling her.[/i]

[i]"Well, I'll make my way back... I'm going to get up early tomorrow to walk... Enjoy the dawn while I can."[/i] [b]She rubbed her eyes slowly, not because she was tired, but just to get out the remaining grief that hung in the glossy gaze.[/b]

"I'll be around if you need me." [i] He sent a silent prayer to Nysos that she did, for some odd reason.[/i] "My room is still next to yours." [i] he says quietly, opening his eyes and running his hands over his face; sitting up from the bench. He needed sleep.[/i]

[i]"I'll make sure to knock if I need anything..."[/i] [b]She too got up, rubbing her left arm and letting her head hang.[/b] [i]"Probably not my best day. I don't even feel tired..."[/i] [b]More like she was afraid to sleep, but she wasn't about to say that out loud. Rather, she began her quiet walk through the building out into the courts, arm still clutched in the other.[/b] [i]"I can't believe this is the closest thing to a home I have..."[/i] [b]She whispered to herself, feeling out of place... Half these people were one man armies... And she was...? The odd on out.[/b]
