Trayven Camp Barracks
Sometime After Dark [/b]
[i]"And... Perfect. Well, not bad."
Nat adjusted the last book in the back half of a barracks tent - One that was only half-occupied by Trayven forces, due to others being straight up kicked out by Natalie. She snickered internally when she looked at the blanket wall that had hanged from the cieling, a row of thick black blankets was all that had remained to divide her little section of privacy from the rest of the camp. It was a small pleasure to her, a way to show that while she was affiliated to the army, she stood at a position higher than just the average footman. Or rather, she acted like it, anyways.
The inside of her own personal tent was fairly quaint and small, but it was her own: A two-person bed, a couch, a low table in front of said couch, and a large table with some chairs was all she had in terms of furniture aside from the shelf, but it was enough for her in this second home. She had a radio on the table, which played a tune of Van Halen's "Panama" that was just muffled by the wall of cloth dividing her room from the other half of the tent. She was finally happy with the room and grabbed a book, a copy of some admittedly shitty romance novel, and took a seat on her L-shaped couch with a sense of pride. [/i]
((Open to all. If you need a way to reply, just investigate the music from the tent.))

[i]"A Dojo at the Dojo?" [/i]
-
"More just for civilians. That way people like thieves are going to have a harder time praying on the innocent."
-
[i]"Aha, that's a good idea." [/i]
-
"Yeah. No one else should be taken advantage of because someone else decides they're more powerful then them."
-
[i]"Don't we have cops? [/i]
-
"Response time is only so fast. You could be stabbed and have bled out by then. Plus they can be bribed."
-
[i]"Gotcha." [/i]
-
"That's my reasoning." [b][i]She says. She looked around the tent, before speaking[/i][/b] "This is where you live?"
-
[i]"Yeah, I figured moving in would be smart." [/i]
-
"Tou chose to live in an area this small? With your own free will?"
-
[i]"Yeah, though most of my stuff is back at my old house. See, I used to live in an apartment not too far from here - The building is abandoned now, and I just kind of stay here because I have some friends." [/i]
-
"Oh. That makes sense..." [b][i]She said. To her, she wouldn't take much over the small home she had right now, though Nat's though process made sense[/i][/b]
-
[i]"Going off youe tone, I wouldn't say it does to you?" [/i]
-
"No, I can understand why you think that way. Just... most of my life, I would've seen this..." [b][i]She says, looking around and gesturing to the tent.[/i][/b] "this would have been great lodging to me."
-
[i]"Didn't you have anything like this back where you're from?" [/i]
-
"It existed where I'm from. Just, I wasn't lucky enough to have it. I- it's not a fun story..."
-
[i]"Don't have to tell me if you don't want to." [/i]
-
"I'd rather not." [b][i]She said.[/i][/b]
-
[i]"Alright." [/i]
-
"So, What do you guys do for fun around here?" [b][i]She said as she continued to look around[/i][/b]
-
[i]"Either we fight, read, hang out or use the bed for more than sleeping." [/i]
-
"I don't..." [b][i]She said for a minute, thinking about the last part before seeming surprised[/i][/b] "O-oh. That's what you meant."
-
[i]"Yep." [/i]
-
"W-well, I might not look like it, but I've got a good deal of experience with that first activity."
-
"Really?"
