"I'm bored," Sakota complained to herself. She was one of the newer and younger Blue Lanterns to arrive on Odym. She had no idea how she inspired hope on her war torn planet but it happened all the same.
Something chirped off to her right. The young alien started to creep over, though it was hard to determine the exact position of the noise, as it seemed to echo from everywhere. She continued to look as it reminded her of one of her favorite bugs back home that she let lose in enemy camps.
"Hello, what do we have here? A little cricket?" she asked when she finally caught the small chirping bug in a miniature cage. It chirped in response and Sakota could easily see how that could become real annoying, real fast. The chirp was constant and at such a pitch she was sure she was going to have fun with it.
"I think it's time to see how easily it is to make Mr. Calm and Cool annoyed," she smirked, walking farther away from her meditation spot. She felt the need to sneak around, despite the fact that she is allowed around sleeping huts.
"Sister Sercy, do you know where Saint Walker's hut is? He asked me to get something out of it for him," Sakota asked the older Lantern with an innocent smile. Not many of the Lantern's know of her pranking streak, and it was a good thing, too, otherwise her schemes would have been put to rest long ago.
"Yes, Sister Sakota, his hut is right over here," Sercy nodded as she led Sakota to one of the identical huts. "What did he ask you to get?"
"Some tea, he must have forgotten it this morning," she said without missing a beat. Everyone on Odym knows the first Blue Lantern's obsession with tea, so Sercy didn't think anything of it.
"Carry on." As soon as Sercy was gone, Sakota let out a relived sigh and opened the cage for the bug. She was about to head out when she spotted a small container of tea leaves on the bedside table.
"Might as well," she mused, taking the container and closing the door to the hut. To avoid suspicion, she asked Brother Warth where Saint Walker was. It took ten minutes and three different Lanterns giving directions but eventually she found him meditating by the east bank.
"I brought you your tea, Saint Walker," Sakota smiled, holding up the container for him.
"Thank you, Sister Sakota, I forgot to grab it this morning and I was just going to leave to get it." Saint Walker smiled, taking the container to add some to the pot. Sakota blinked in surprise at the fact that was actually the truth. "Would you care for a cup?"
"I would love a cup of tea," she nodded, sitting down next to the victim of her latest plot.
