Breakfast After The Fight

[Katana]

Leah had woken that morning as the sun fell through her bedroom, window. It cascaded over the two young girls and brightened up Leah's dorm room. She had gotten up and slipped in for a quick and silent shower so that she didn't wake the smaller girl, Elixer. As she wrapped a towel around her chest she paused and looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her long black hair fell onto her shoulders like little rivers swarming down, she clasped the strands of hair in the back of her head. She moved them all onto her back and smiled at her reflection. She squeaked open the bathroom door and tiptoed back into her room. Grabbing some clothes she moved back into the bathroom to change. When her hair was dry enough she combed and brushed it out with the hair tools in the upper drawer. She noted how well the room was equipped, she figured it was the doing of Ms. Frost.

She looked inside her drawer and found a pen and a paper. She left a note to the girl to meet her in the kitchen, with directions leading from the girl dorms. (seeing as she knew how lost the girl was prone to become) She smiled at the smaller girl and left the room.

Following her own mental directions down to the kitchen she smiled and thought about what she knew how to make. Toast was the only thing she knew how to bake, and she admitted to herself that it was the easiest thing on earth to put together. So she looked at the other ingredients in the fridge and picked out eggs, juice, cereal, and of course bread for toast. As she tried to cook the eggs, she managed burn them. Only the cereal and toast came out well, even if one toast did get singed a little, but she refused to let it bum her out. Quite proud of her makeshift breakfast for two she wondered if she should wake the girl, or wait for her. She decided to give it a moment and started nibbling on the burnt piece of toast.

Aleksey had woken up extra early to fly around a bit. He only flew around the mansion most of the time, but sometimes he went a bit further but only during very early morning when everyone was asleep so he couldn't be spotted.

After he came back into the mansion he went into the kitchen to find some food. He walked in and saw Leah eating some toast. He came up to her and said "Good morning Leah" with a big smile. He then looked at the toast she was eating, it was burned, along with the eggs.

Aleksey opened the fridge and took out some eggs. "You must be hungry" he told Leah. "Don't worry, I'll fix something up for you" he said. Aleksey took a fork, a bowl, some milk, salt, and some sugar. He cracked the eggs into the bowl, whisked it with the fork, added the milk, some salt, and a little bit of sugar and mixed it up. He heated up a small amount of oil on a frying pan, and poured the eggs in. He put the fire on low and covered it for a few minutes. He then turned to Leah, "When I was living on my own, it took me a while to learn how not to burn food" he said. "I never needed a stove since I can make fire any time, but I always used too much and burned whatever it is I tried to cook, however, that did help me learn how to control my fire breath" he explained to her. He turned around, turned off the stove, took a plate and flipped into it, a nice, round, fresh, yellow, omlete. "Enjoy Leah" he knelt down a bit and kissed her on the cheek.

Sara woke up feeling a lot better than she had the previous day. For the first time since she left home she felt like she belonged. Perhaps it was a premature feeling, but she didn't think so. People here had been so nice to her, from the boy who kept her company during the meeting in the hanger and showed her back to the dorms, to her new friend Leah who had lent her a spare bed for the night. Perhaps this place would not be so bad after all. She certainly owed Ms. Frost an apology.

As important as apologies were, breakfast was a more urgent matter. And after breakfast she needed to figure out exactly where she belonged and what was expected of her for the day. The impression she had gotten the other night was that school was soon going to be in session and Sara wanted to make sure she made a good impression, especially after recent events.

Consequently, she skipped the shower, just quickly running her hands through her hair, throwing some clothes on, and heading towards the door. In her excitement about starting the new day she had completely failed to notice that Leah was gone. Only when she had the door half open did it occur to her that something was amiss. "Where's Leah," she asked the empty room, and then repeated the question again to the equally empty hallway. When predictably neither answered she turned around and went back into the room where she noticed a note. The note said to meet Leah in the kitchen and had a neatly drawn map. Sara, smiled, and her eyes misted up a bit.

Clutching the map Sara made her way from the dorm to the kitchen, only getting lost twice before she got there. Her inability to get to the kitchen directly had nothing to do with the quality of Leah's map which was excellent, but more to do with the fact that Sara had spent almost her entire life in one small neighborhood and thus was used to not having to navigate, instead knowing her surroundings by heart.

When she got to the kitchen she saw Leah with toast and eggs and plates for two. "Thank you," she said gratefully. "I don't know what I've done to deserve such kindness."

No sooner had she said it then she noticed the dragon boy. Smiling she said, with uncharacteristic boldness for her. "Hi, I'm Sara. Who are you?" Of course she already had heard a little bit about him.

Leah was surprised to see Guardian walk in, she had hoped to see him. She had hoped to introduce him to Elixir 'Damn, maybe I should have woken her...' She smiled as the boy noticed her burnt toast, placing it back down. She had hoped to eat the thing quickly, so that even elixir would have never known that she had burnt it.

She was starving, and it was so nice to see him. She had dreamed that night about nothing in particular, it was nice to finally not have any nightmares. She almost felt that they had disappeared because of him. But as she thought about it, it made her feel silly. She told herself to slow down as Aleksey made the eggs. 'Don't fall too far for this boy' she scolded. She so desperately did not want to get hurt. From her experience love did that.

She was about to reply to his story when he leaned over and kissed her. She looked at the older boy, 'I can't believe he just kissed me!' She turned pink and smiled the awkwardness of the moment away. "Do you usually get up so early?" She joked, "I wouldn't have, except I wanted to make breakfast for my new friend."

At that moment Elixir walked in.

[Elixir]

Sara wasn't sure if Aleksey just hadn't heard her question, was bothered by the interruption, or just didn't feel like talking, so she decided to drop it. "Good morning," she said to Leah. "Thanks for the map...I would never have found my way down here without it! So what's the routine like around here anyway?" she asked casually.

[Guardian]

Aleksey Looked at sara, "Hello, nice to meet you, I'm Aleksey, want anything for breakfast?"

Aleksey looked at Leah waiting for sara to respond, he liked cooking, he always wanted to be a chef. "And yes Leah I usually do wake up early, I can't really sleep long, never knew why" he responded to Leah.

[Elixir]

"Breakfast would be lovely," Sara said enthusiastically as she looked around for a chair to pull up to the table.

[Katana]

"I'm not sure" Leah said looking from Aleksey to Sara. She smiled and lifted up her plate. "Here have some." She offered. "I figure were going to be separated into our teams and practice, but I don't know when that will take place." She started on the eggs Aleksey had made, replacing her burnt ones.

"I just realized, were on different teams, well....thats a disappointment. I guess were going to have to make friends with new people today!" She looked out onto the grounds from the window, from where she could see, the landscape was the same. Pretty and majestic as it always was, She'd love to go outside today, she felt partially excited about the training. 'Finally some exercise!' She joked to herself, not counting getting her ass kicked the day before as anything but defeat. 'I hardly count getting thrown around as exercise.'

[Elixir]

"As long as we stay friends, I'm happy," Sara said, and then immediately wished she hadn't figuring the last thing she needed to do was freak Leah out by being too friendly.

[Katana]

Leah laughed, "Well I haven't had any friends before, so if we stop being friends, it will most likely be my fault!" She joked pointing at herself.

Leah got up and moved to wash some of the dishes. "You know I was thinking, about the room situation. If you don't have a room, maybe you'll just have to stay in mine... I mean assuming of course you wouldn't mind." She added the last part cautiously. She liked having a room mate, it felt like having a sibling. Yet she wasn't certain the other girl would be up for it.

[Elixir]

Sara hesitated a second, not sure if Leah was offering to be polite or really wanted to be roommates. Then she said, "I'd love to be roommates. It could be a lot of fun. I hope Ms. Frost lets us." Having said this she started to dry the dishes that Leah had washed with the dish rag that had been hanging from a bar above the sink.

[Guardian]

"Well" said Aleksey, "we're not really on different teams, in the end we're all on the same side arn't we?" he told Leah as he watched her do the dishes. "I've always been scared of people, but ever since I came here, I've felt different, I've felt like I belong here" Aleksey said to them both.

[Katana]

"Yeah, I hope she does, we should go find her." Then realizing it was still early in the morning, she opted against the thought. "Or at least wait till she's defiantly awake.." She chided. Thinking about the room she proposed a plan, "Now that we have that settled, I imagine we have a couple hours before training starts so what do you guys want to do?" She looked nervously over at Guardian, she would have hoped for some alone time, but she also wanted to have fun with Elixir. She hoped he didn't mind, or find her childish for hanging with a younger girl. 'Well, I don't see why I can't have both..' She reasoned, hoping he'd say yes and they could do something, the three of them.

Then he spoke, she smiled worriedly at him, frowning. "I feel the same way..."She added walking closer to the boy. She wanted to return his kiss, kiss his rugged face, but Elixir was right there. It was inappropriate to say the least, and she again yearned for both of two worlds.

[Guardian]

"Hmm" Aleksey said outloud. "Are you guys scared of heights?" he said with a big grin "because I've got an idea."

"Do you guys want to go for a flight? and I'm not talking about the Blackbird" He said still with the big smile.

[Elixir]

Sara said, "Well, I think I should probably go round up my things and get them moved so I'm all ready for the day, but I'll definitely be back later. Then we can all hang out if you guys want to."
