Daniel gave Kalisa nothing more than a simple nod to acknowledge her apparent happiness for his survival. Every moment speaking to her...to a woman just made the crawling feeling all over his skin worse. Ever since Elizabeth di-, passed on, he felt the urge to run from any woman that got close enough to him. Luckily, she was a bearable distance and the conversation felt like nothing more than a few formalities. A fact he was thankful for. However, he got somewhat apprehensive when she asked about his where he came from.

A cold look shined in his eyes [color=AD2841][b]"Edinburgh. City of Ancaster."[/b][/color] His hometown and the source of all his misery. Daniel lowered his chin that it nearly touched the top of his chest. It was the only question she appeared to have for him at the moment and he was grateful. Thinking about the past was not something he wanted to do right now. Instead, he watched as she showed signs of fatigue which made sense, however what didn't was when she asked for permission to rest [color=AD2841][b]"Tch, sure. You don't need my permission."[/b][/color] Despite teachings from Elizabeth, Daniel never really grasped the necessity of manners. Although, Kalisa didn't seem to wait anyway. Daniel didn't look at her when he responded softly [color=AD2841][b]"Yeah."[/b][/color] No amount of him could trust anyone of his squad-mates to be alive at the end. Forming a bond was just asking for further pain. Even so, a subconscious part of him wanted to ensure that the now sleeping Kalisa would live through it.

Daniel was still awake from earlier when he saw Kalisa suddenly jump. It didn't surprise him in the least cause he had been there several times. Bad dreams, nightmares, were going to be plenty and they would never end. His head turned as she addressed the lance-corporal who had been staring at her like some kind of weirdo. People staring that long back home usually ended up with a knife in their ribs. However, from his position he could clearly see another player coming into this match. His brows furrowed as the blatantly obvious infatuation with the lance-corporal was written all over the girl's face. Honestly, he couldn't view it as anything but pathetic that she express it so carelessly. They had just went through hell and it was only day one. Now this girl was already in-love with her superior?

The conversation should have been an excuse for him to remove himself from the situation, however the exchange triggered a rage deep inside  he hadn't been aware of. Standing from his seated position on the box, he made his way over to the three [color=AD2841][b]"You're both idiots."[/b][/color] He stated strongly looking at both Diana and Jean. Whether it was the shock of the battle or years of suppressed feelings, somehow he lost the fragile control on his emotions [color=AD2841][b]"Take it to a tent or a goddamn foxhole for all I care! This is day one. Day one! You can't just pretend everything is going to be alright now that we have a single victory and start flirting with each other like you haven't got a care in the word!"[/b][/color]

A flood had been released, and Daniel was caught in his own disaster [color=AD2841][b]"I can't believe I have to follow orders from someone who clearly lacks any kind of spine and fight alongside a  woman who couldn't have her head any farther up in the clouds!."[/b][/color] His breathing at this point was heavy but with those words his eyes widened as the realization came upon him. He immediately broke any kind of eye contact and turned his back on them without a word, grabbing his rifle as he left moving away from them down another a trench corridor punching the side wall with nearly all of his power as he walked by.

He wanted to scream. He wanted to release a furious cry into the sky. Jean or the girl didn't deserve what he said to them. Daniel fell with his back against the trench wall once he felt he had gotten far enough away. [color=AD2841][b][i]Why did I do that?[/i][/b][/color] The question circled in his mind as he bit down harshly on his own teeth. Was this a sign that he wasn't as stable as he thought he was? Where did all this anger come from? Was it always there? It would be impossible to face either of them again. For now, he would remain here out of their sight and do his best to calm down.
