North looked up curiously when Cal mentioned he was going to look for South to see if he could help her. He hadn’t really thought that the man was into that kind of stuff, but then again his words made sense. However she had asked not to be disturbed, and he knew how she could get when she was focused on her computer stuff, sometimes she spent days locked away, barely eating or sleeping. It was almost like she was in a trance sometimes. He was about to advise Cal against it when he brought up the reason he hadn’t slept well.

Instantly his face flushed a slight red and his mouth, which had been open to speak a moment ago, closed quickly in a small grimace and he simply turned to look at his food, taking a few, unenthusiastic bites as Cal spoke to Alaska before wheeling off. Eventually he looked up to Alaska and offered her a small, shy smile, still feeling the redness in his cheeks cased by Cal so boldly stating why he was off his game. “He’s not wrong.” He eventually said, trying to shrug it off now that it was just Alaska and himself. It was just her, he supposed, Alaska always seemed very in control of everything.

She rarely had a moment that he’d noticed where she’d lost her cool and did anything other than what a good soldier should do. It put him off a little, because she did intimidate him slightly if he was being honest, especially since Cal had just outed why he hadn't slept well. He doubted Alaska would have been affected by such a thing. “Feel like joining me for a bit of training?” North eventually offered, giving her a careless and easy smile now. “I could probably brush up on my close combat if you’re keen?”
