North chuckled slightly at Cal’s comment and nodded his head slightly, “hey you don’t need to tell me. I know what my strengths and weaknesses are.” Of course he could probably still beat most military personnel that weren’t in the top ranks of the Freelancer Project, but at the same time it was important to know your strengths and weaknesses and have a realistic expectations on what your own limits and skills were. He was good, he wouldn’t be here if he wasn’t, but his friends were better. North couldn’t help but feel a small pang of… something when Cal asked to take Alaska away.

He pouted slightly in confusion, however this vanished and was replaced with confusion as Cal suddenly mentioned South. He looked to the others as the pair exited the room, still with the same baffled look on his face until Wash suggested they move on to a new activity and he eventually shrugged, giving them a reluctant smile. “Sounds more like my game.” He confirmed with a small nod.

South’s eyes flickered open and she sat up with a small yawn as she stretched out, looking around the room. For a moment she was confused as to being alone but eventually her senses returned to her and she shrugged it off and stood, leaving the room and heading down the hallway. She slowed, a smile appearing on her face as she saw Cal rolling towards her, eventually stopping as they met up. “Hey,” she greeted. “Where are you headed?” It was kind of obvious where he was going, though she was more interested in the why it seemed polite to ask where first.
