Scene 4:
I have decided Angeal has an aversion to scientists of any sort.
I'm not sure how to break it up, any suggestions on making it easier to read I will try to incorporate. Thank you.
Fear and First Impressions
After Zack changed, the two young man chatted all the way to the VR room.
Looking ahead, Zack saw the figure of his mentor up ahead, almost to the door. "Angeal!" he called, waving wildly.
The SOLDIER 1st class turned towards the voice, and smiled, pausing to wait for him to catch up. Zack sprinted over, leaving Kael to follow his example a few seconds later.
Zack skidded to a stop just short of running Angeal over, but didn't straighten, remaining in his energetic stance. "What are we going to do today?" He asked expectantly.
Angeal laughed appreciatively at Zack's enthusiasm, "I thought we'd run another simulation today, let you loosen up a bit after the long shift in your office."
"Yes!" Zack pumped the air with his fist happily.
It was then that Angeal noticed the white clad teen standing next to Zack. He tensed, and his eyes looked at the scientist in question.
Noticing his mentor's gaze, Zack straightened, smiling, and held out his arm to indicate Kael, "This is Kael. I ran into him in the hallway on my way here. He's really cool, and he was wondering if he could watch my training session."
Kael was smiling back at him, "But not literally ran into each other." He turned to Zack fully, and shrugged, "I do that sometimes."
They smiled at each other and turned back to Angeal.
Zack was surprised to see his mentor remaining somber.
"Kael Ren," Angeal said quietly, "Don't you have duties you should be attending to?"
Zack wondered at Angeal's reaction. The usually agreeable SOLDIER 1st class, who couldn't see anything wrong with young SOLDIER cadets watching Zack's training, seemed hesitant to allow Kael.
Kael had also sombered at Angeal's statement, and studied the 1st respectfully. "I do not believe so," He said quietly, "This is my free period, after all."
Angeal mildly inclined his head, sill not looking pleased.
Kael smiled sadly at him, and considered how he could unoffensively pull out of watching. He was worried about the pained way Angeal regarded him, but couldn't make it too obvious Angeal was the reason he'd left, or it would distract Zack, so…
Suddenly, a young black haired lab assistant came running up to the threesome. "KAEL!" She cried, staggering to a stop, breathing hard, but her words kept coming in a rush. "I'm so glad I found you! And I know you're on break. And I'm sorry. But you've got to come quick. It's…!" She threw her hands out helplessly, "It's on fire!"
"What!" Kael gasped. Turning quickly to Zack, he held out his hands in apology, "If we get this solved in time, I'll try to come back and watch. I promise. But this is an emergency!" He turned to the lady, and they ran off back down the hallway she had come. Zack could hear Kael's fading voice ask, "How bad is it?"
Turning his head a little to look at his mentor, Zack saw Angeal watching Kael leave, his eyes widening. The younger SOLDIER turned his whole body to face his mentor, who noticed and glanced at him.
At Zack's questioning look, Angeal shrugged, "He has good work ethic." He turned to wards the VR room, "We should seek to emulate him." Pushing the door operation switch, he glanced back at Zack with a smile, "Shall we begin?
