As the day began drawing to a close, the intercom flickered to life. Instead of Harrington's voice, however, Berg's calm tone filtered through the speakers

This time, Luke observed his surrounding a bit more critically than he had this morning. When he was lead out of the Sun Room, the young man assumed the double doors they passed through were going to be the meeting place with Tear

Chipp didn't know where he woke up last night, but now he found out when a soldier came over to push him into said room. Since he didn't wake up with another person there, he was a little confused when he was shoved (a little literally) into a room with some redhaired guy. Definitely not what he remembered last night. And the ninja wasn't going to let the soldier get away with that, turning around sharply to try and ask what the hell he thought he was doing before a door slammed in his face; clearly, the soldier wasn't too keen on hanging around Chipp longer then he had to

Well, there were two beds in the room, Luke should have guessed that meant two people would be sharing this room. Frankly, he was a bit leery of the idea. He didn't enjoy his space being invaded and he remembered how it had felt the first few times he had to sleep beside Tear and then consequently Guy, Natalia, Ion, Jade, and Anise. They were friends now, but back then... Back then there had been a lot of head-butting, usually his own, but sleep time had rarely ever been Luke's favorite part of their premature adventures.
But there wasn't much he could do but sit on his side of the room and try not to make eyes at this guy's behavior. It was pretty amusing until the man had said something that slapped the smirk right off his face.
Was that how he sounded when he groused? Surely, he couldn't be that bad! Luke knew he hadn't been the most pleasant person to be around when he first left Baticul, but

It looked like his first thought was right: roommates, seriously? Well, not that Chipp was complaining, since he was going to burst out of here the minute the doors were supposed to unlock anyway rather then sleep. But Luke didn't seem like a bad kid. Naturally, since Chipp lacked any sort of manners or social grace, being responded to in kind with a question was a good enough greeting for him, and he finally relaxed himself slightly, or at least looked less like he wanted to tear out the throat of the closest warm-blooded mammal he could find
( ... )
"Oh..." So he was new as well. This Chipp was still a stranger, though. Anise's voice said to be careful, but suspicion only begot suspicion. If they couldn't have reached out on Auldrant and trusted others then the lands would have been left to ruin. No, he had to give this man a chance. Everyone deserved a chance, some people even deserved second chances, as the young man knew very well. He would trust Chipp with the truth, not that there was much to begin with.
"I actually woke up here this morning," Luke confessed. So much for pumping the guy for some information. He had gotten plenty of bad news from Guy, but nothing about how to get out of his room at night. If Chipp had been here a night already, the redhead hoped he knew what he was doing, but before he could ask, a new question popped up that Luke had no clue how to answer.
"Can I vote? Vote on what?" Maybe giving this guy the benefit of the doubt hadn't been the right way to go after all.
