Chapter 8- The Barracks [3]

  On the final day of their grace period, the group finds themselves unusually bored while sitting around a table in the barracks.

  That is, until Darius chimes in with an idea.

  "So, how about we go in a circle and say where all of us are from, and let's do... A fact about ourselves"

  The group thinks a bit before each approves.

  Darius then says "I'll start, I'm from the Lower Ward of Elaria, and I am a great cook, unlike someone else here"

  The group chuckles at the comment before Asha starts hers

  "I'm from the North, in a small town on the Scale Road, and I love sailing"

  Edwin goes next.

  "I am from the Center and I like collecting things"

  After that, Laura goes.

  "Uhh.. I'm from the Upper Ward and I have met Darius before"

  Darius looks at her confused, before realizing something.

  "Ohh yeah, I remember now, you and your dad came out to the Lower to see how things were, then we ended up playing around for hours."

  James is up next.

  "I'm from the Center, and I won a big fight tournament in my hometown... Before anyone had powers"

  Aaron then chimes in.

  "Only because I wasn't home"

  After his comment, Aaron goes.

  "I am from the Center, same town as James, and me and James met because I was trying to fight a wild boar on my own, and he wanted to help me"

  A few people chuckle before Aidan finishes the interaction with his.

  "I'm from the Center, and I could drink every. Single. One of you under the table"

  Darius chimes in.

  "Oh yeah? You wanna test it"

  Aidan replies

  "If you're up for the challenge"

  The day evolves into loud squabbling before each of them falls asleep on various surfaces, uncomfortable in the case of Edwin who'd found himself sleeping on the dining room table of the barracks.

  Aaron sits, slumped over in a chair that he'd pulled out from the dining room table where Edwin slept.

  Aidan is sitting, face firmly planted on the dining room table where him and Darius held their epic drinking competition, one which he lost.

  Asha is curled up under a rug on the floor.

  Meanwhile James is sitting, asleep, with Laura's head on his lap, ever comfortable.

  Darius sits at the dining room table, facing the two while smirking before also drifting off to sleep.
