—later that day, during the night—
Nya was awake.
She kept her breath hallow and quiet so she wouldn't wake anyone up. Although the only person she knew was definitely asleep was the infamous brown ninja - his snores could be heard from across the block.
Nya flipped on her side, then her stomach, and afterwards her back. The thin sleeping bag she was laying on was doing no good. Nya was uncomfortable and cold; her thoughts kept drifting to the ninja and if they, too, were scrounging for food in the broken, battered Ninjago City - or what was left of it.
Unbelievably, she eventually fell asleep with rare happy thoughts of the ninja.
On the other hand however, Lloyd was eating himself alive.
He called himself a liar and kept talking internally. His lips silently spoke until they became tired.
"You're fueling the fire.
"Just tell her.
"C'mon, Lloyd, she can take it.
"They're gone and pretending they aren't will only make matters worse.
"You're the green ninja, for Sulkin's Sake.
"Stop denying it because you'll never be able to beat your father with a clouded mind."
Man, now he sounded like Wu.
