[He's normally asleep at very sensible times, but the night has it's calling, sometimes. He doesn't mean to seek her out, but her senses her in his wandering and... he misses his sister, truly.]
[What can she say, the guy had ticked her off, so she'd taken him out to fight and of course she'd won. Killing civilian is a no, but sometimes it's so damn tempting. She gets distracted by Christopher though.]
