December 19, 2016 - ~7:49 am[/right][/color]Just one remark from Laura, and Amelie was ready to take action. She had a pretty good idea what [i]fixing[/i] Brian's absence from the table meant, this wasn't the first time Amelie had taken it upon herself to rouse Brian from his slumber. Shaking her head slightly as the older girl exited the kitchen, Laura used the time to pour herself a cup of coffee from the pot that had just finished brewing, and took a seat at the table to wait. 

[color=#ff0082]"HEY, GET UP, LAZY BONES!"[/color] That was Amelie. Brian should be here anytime. Looking down into her cup of black coffee, she sighed. Why couldn't that boy-- actually he was a man now, at eighteen-- why couldn't he just learn to get up at a reasonable time? It was already past seven thirty, in fact, it was pretty much [i]eight[/i]. Soon enough, there was another yell from Amelie that announced her arrival along with Brian.

Looking up from her cup of coffee, her gaze traveled over to the Brian on the ground, and her grey eyes gave him a long look. Not that he would see it, judging from the way that he still looked half asleep on the floor. It was a few minutes before he managed to summon up the energy to sit at the table, and it was then that Laura caught sight of his face. Punishment for sleeping late, huh? 

She performed another small shake of the head before accepting the plate Amelie handed her with a thanks, and beginning to eat quickly while she listened to the conversation. Enough time had been wasted this morning already. Seemed like she wasn't the only one who wanted to get going that day, for Darius was asking for a spar.

That invitation definitely wasn't for her, but it meant that she might have to keep an eye on whoever decided to spar with Darius, depending on how far they decided to take things. She found herself raising an eyebrow as Connor took the invitation. Connor was the newest recruit currently, having only trained for a month. Darius, on the other hand, had been training for much longer. How long had Darius been training again? Fourteen, fifteen years? Well, she needed to come along for that. Laura couldn't pretend that she wasn't interested in seeing how such a fight would turn out.

But before going, she needed another cup of coffee. Seeing how the two men were already heading out of the room, she began to call after them. [color=6d00ff]"Wait to start until..."[/color] There they went, probably hadn't even heard her. Halfheartedly, she finished. [color=6d00ff]"I'm there."[/color] Oh well, coffee the first. The initial cup had been to wake her up properly, the second was to make sure that the effects lasted. 

Holding her warm cup in both hands, she began to make her way slowly towards the training part of the base, careful not to spill anything on her clothes.
