This is where the Survivors live. There are two large bedrooms. One is for females, the other; males. Each is lined with endless rows of bunk beds. It's very military-like. If you follow the hall you end up at the kitchen. Outside is a fighting area. Beside each of the bedrooms are bathrooms. There are only two...

Hakan went outside to the training area. His eyes were cold as he took out his sword. This one's for you, sis...

Stealthily, the Survivor began his fighting.

Hakan leaned against the wall of the building. He breathed out in exhaustion. How long had he been out here? He checked the watch on his wrist. All day...

Thalia walked inside the barracks with a sigh. You're never closer anywhere else but the barracks.

Thalia waved to a person who was fighting as she walked by.

Hakan looked over at the window, looked back and did a double take. He watched a Saint walk by.

Do I know her...?

Thalia took off her white robe, showing her jeans and T shirt.

Hakan shrugged. All day's more than enough training, I guess...

He went inside and into the kitchen.

After putting her robe down, Thalia walked into the kitchen, in need of a snack.

Thalia yawned and took a granola bar from the cabinet.

Hakan took a leftover piece of cheese pizza. He put it in his mouth, closed the door and froze when he saw the girl from earlier.

She...looked a bit prettier without her robe.

Thalia sighed and sat down on the counter. Tomorrow, she would have to wake up earlier.

Oh. She hasn't noticed me...

Hakan shrugged it off. He was used to that. No one noticed him much. He didn't...talk much. He took the pizza slice out of his mouth after a bite, and was tempted to go back to his "room". But, he didn't really want to. So he stayed.

Thalia looked up and saw the fighter she waved to earlier, "So what's your name?"

Hakan was caught by surprise. He looked at the Saint, keeping his eyes calm.

"Hakan," he replied.

"I'm Thalia, it's nice to meet you."

"You too." Hakan felt it go quiet. He took another bite of pizza.

Thalia cocked her head to the side, evaluating Hakan. She was lost in thought.

Hakan swallowed the bite of pizza. He looked at Thalia. The newly met Saint was staring at him... Awkwardly Hakan crossed his arms, trying not to show how odd he thought it was.

"Thalia? Hello?"

Thalia shook herself, "Sorry! You just have the most interesting eyes I've ever seen. I'm actually quite jealous. Mine are dull and boring..." she really wanted to ask him a question.

Thalia bit her lip before asking her question, "Would you join me at the Insanity House tomorrow? It would be nice to actually know someone besides my patients."

"..." Hakan nodded. "Okay. I don't have anything else to do, so I guess I could come."

It was true, the only thing he had planned for tomorrow was more practice.

Thalia grinned warmly, "Thanks! I would love for you to meet some of them. They're actually quite nice once you get to know them."

"Uh, yeah."

Hakan took another bite of his pizza slice. He didn't care where he went, as long as Thalia was with him.

Thalia jumped off the counter.

"Good night! I'll see you tomorrow!"

Hakan nodded. He opened the door, looked at Thalia and left the kitchen.

Tomorrow, I have a date with a Saint. Who'd of thought...

Thalia ran to her sleeping area, changed into sleeping wear, then crawled under the covers.
