Kiara: She got up and stretched. It would be a long and boring day ahead. School. Why cruel world, oh why? She headed for her room, passing Alchemist in the hallway as he headed to the bathroom. She muttered a good morning to Alchemist and entered her room. She put on a black top, black pants, black Converse, a black jacket and purple fingerless gloves that went up to her elbows. She dragged a comb through her black hair, frowned at the mirror, brushed her teeth and went downstairs.

Drew: Alchemist was in the kitchen, also dressed in black but also blue, with his faded jeans, short black fingerless gloves, customary slim-fitting hooded shirt, and checkerboard Vans style shoes. He was cooking, making toast, eggs and breakfast sausage.

Kiara: She pulled out plates without a word and poured them drinks into cups.

They pulled up chairs and ate breakfast, not lingering or participating in small talk.
