Kali woke early to find Caesar looking out over the village seemingly lost in his own thoughts Blue Eyes came up next to her, giving a small smile he went to sit by his father. Ash found his friend near the water fall sitting alone
"I'm going hunting, are you coming?" Blue Eyes thought for a short time before giving his old friend a nod & together they went off into the woods, Kali had made her way back to her mother's hut when she came across Koba
"Not with Blue Eyes today?" he asked half bothered Kali just cocked her head to the side then shook her head to say no
"He's gone to spend the day with Ash" she signed sitting next to Koba, the old ape took a deep sigh handing her a fruit he'd found
"I can show you a good hunting spot if you need one," looking proud "I've been there many times" Kali looked at Koba, as she'd spent very little time with him so was a little wary of him she nodded & together they themselves went to go hunting Caesar watched them as they left the village Cornelia came up behind him,
"Stop worrying I've seen how he looks at her, it'll work out in the end" Cornelia Caesar gave a smile he hoped she was right
"Come eat, spend time with us today" Caesar again gave a smile & a nod.
*At the tower*
"What the hell do you mean that's all there is?!" Carver asked angry as always that Angel had forgotten to pick up more food
"I told you there all out until the new shipment comes in, & for the record I didn't forget it told you I had to help Ellie with Alex"
"You spend way too much time with that kid, you're going soft, hell if I didn't know better I might even think you & him have something going" Carver teased his sister
Angel just rolled her eyes *least Alex isn't a total moron like some I know* she thought to herself but just continued with her book Angel was growing tired of her brother always giving her a hard time about well everything
"Where are you going?" Carver asked as Angel threw her book down & started to walk away
"Out" she said over her shoulder not even bothering to look at him
"Tell ya boyfriend hey from me" he called out after her slight smirk on his face. Angel made her way out to the courtyard passing people as she went not really looking at any one thing she found herself by the old willow tree stopping she sat down under it closing her eyes letting her mind take her away kinda being thankful just to get away from everyone
"Mind if I join you?" came a voice Angel opened her eyes & was surprised by who she found standing there Angel shrugged & moved over a little
"I know you & I haven't always seen eye to eye on things" Dreyfus started "But the only reason that I do what I do is to keep us alive….."
Angel just looked at him
"So by starting or trying to start something with the apes it's gonna help get everyone what they need or keep us alive is it?" Angel was shocked by how angry she sounded much more then she had intended to be Dreyfus looked at her
"I never tried to start anything with those….animals I simply said that I will do whatever it takes to insure the safety & wellbeing of everyone here witch in case you've forgotten includes you"
"How can I forget….you remind us every day" Angel said coldly again sounding more harsh then it was meant too.
"What are you doing out here anyway?" Dreyfus asked her Angel just wrinkled up her nose
"Trying to get some peace and quiet" Dreyfus nodded his head then turned to head back to the tower
"Who was it?" she asked Dreyfus turned to her puzzled by her question "Who'd you lose when the world went to hell?" she repeated Dreyfus looked at her for what to Angel seemed like forever
"My boys & my wife" & with that he turned & walked away leaving Angel alone with her thoughts
*Later that night*
"Malcolm? You here?" Ellie called out "guess not" she said to herself
"Hey Alex what you wanna eat for supper?" she called out but again she was met with silence *where is everyone* she thought to herself
Malcolm, Alex, & Carver were in the mesh hall along with most other people
"Dad theres not a chance in hell you're gonna get that shot" Alex said watching as his dad again tried to pot the ball
"Hey it's not over yet son" Malcolm said with a grin witch soon faded as the ball again failed to hit its mark
"Soooo …That's what 4 out of 5?" Carver stated looking cocky
"It's getting late. Ellie's gonna be wondering where we are"
"Guess you better run home to the 'little missus' wouldn't want you getting in trouble would we"
Malcolm just eyed Carver "Alex grab your gear"
Meanwhile Koba was watching Kali, as they'd found no game they'd spent most of the day by the waterfall Kali turned to Koba
"How did that happen?" she signed referring to the scar over his eye Koba turned closing his eyes
"Human…work" he signed bitterly he pointed at different scars that littered his body
