Ok so still with the sis, who happens to be talking turkish while I understand not a word of it. She is like cokeyasha (Only turkish work I know ;) It is the equivalent as god bless you.) then a whole bunch of other words I don't know, and it's like WTF?
Snake Eyes put a hand on Avery's head as he left and went to his own room. Then avery rushed to catch up with Scarlet. The two girls headed to the canteen and sat with the rest of Alpha Team. Avery knew none of their names, asides from Breakers that is, so Scarlet was going to introduce each of them when a guy cut in. "Hey, you're Avery right? The one from the other day?" Avery nodded, showing that he was right, and waited for him to introduce himself. After a minute he didn't and Avery asked.
"So just who are you people?" Immediately the guy went off pointed to people and explaining what the did. And what had amazed Avery was that even through every description of each tiny thing, he never once mentioned a name. Not his own or any one else's. "Uh, I think names would help a bit more than knowing what they do." Avery cut him off just as he was about to speak about how he 'owned' at a game they played. He hadn't even mentioned the name of the game.
He was speechless. Then someone else cut in by hitting him on the head. "Come on Rip, the girl asked a simple question." The man then looked to her. "That idiot is Ripcord." Ripcord shouted at him that he was not an 'idiot' but the man ignored him and continued on. "I'm Duke, and this," He pulled a woman towards him. "Is my fiancé, Anna. There," Duke pointed across from himself at Breaker. "Is Breaker and next to him is-."
"Heavy-Duty" That was the big dark colored man. He took it upon himself to introduce himself. And Avery wasn't sure if he had meant to or not, but he came off as a bit rude. At first she had just thought it was herself but then Breaker sent a quick glare at the man and went back to eating his breakfast. "Excuse me." He stood up and walked out of the room and this made avery amused. There were just some people that couldn't stand her for no reason and she knew that she would be hanging around that man a lot.
"Anyway, what's on the agenda Scarlet?" Avery looked at the food that was in front of everyone and wanted to get her own food but knew that it would be rude. Yet her stomach had other ideas and grumbled angrily. Duke laughed at her and took the pear from his plate and tossed it to her. "Thanks, Duke?" He nodded at the name and Avery was glad that she had gotten it correct.
"We'll I hadn't really though that far ahead. But if you want we could just hang out." Avery furrowed her eyes. She didn't know how to 'hang out'. In truth she hadn't been that popular in school. Being the freak wasn't a social thing. And when studying one didn't really converse with others. But this was a new place and she figured that to 'hang' would be a good idea so she nodded and bit into the pear. "Alright. I'm to get actual food, would you like anything?" And Avery shook her head no to Scarlet's question.
Slowly Avery bit into the pear and thought of how it tasted. Sweetly bitter with a bit of sour if thought deeply about. And the texture was like biting into sand paper almost, but with flavor. It wasn't like a grape fruit where it was too bitter without sugar, or a granny smith apple at its peak with all of the sourness, nor was it like the orange with it's juicy sweetness that dripped down ones chin. And it had a rough texture that made it taste all the better. Avery swallowed the chewed piece of pear then took another bite. "What is it about the pear that has you eating it so slowly?" Breaker asked as he watched Avery take a third bit. She held up a finger and quickly chewed and swallowed this time.
"It's nothing. Just thinking." She took another slow bit, but this one was on purpose and she winked at Breaker. Scarlet returned just then and sat across from Avery. She saw that Avery was almost halfway finished and quickly ate. "Take your time Scarlet. I'm in no rush." Avery's advice was ignored as Scarlet continued to quickly eat. "Or not, yeah. Just eat all that food too fast. That way you will get heart burn. And oh the joys of that pain."
"How will eating fast give me heart burn?" Avery shook her head and didn't say another word as she watched Scarlet scuff her food down. A slight smirk played on Avery's lips. And a moment late Scarlet knew that Avery was right, she knew it by the pain. The burning sensation came quickly and Scarlet no longer had an appetite. "How did- Oh, right medic." A soft noise left her and Avery laughed. When Scarlet was no longer in pain the girls 'hung out' by training with each other.
It was better than Avery had though, because she knew how to do this unlike bonding the normal way women did. As they had fought a mock battle they had conversed as if they weren't trying to knock the other down but as one would speak of weather. And then the winds had shifted from Avery's mother and 'brother' to Snake Eyes. This was when many things happened simultaneously, Avery's step faltered, Scarlet saw and realized that Avery was starting to grow feelings for Snake Eyes- maybe not as fast or as strong as his had become in the short time but they would be there soon-, the two girls' wooden swords clashed, and Avery was knocked to the ground. Scarlet had apparently been holding back the whole fight.
