(Oh my gosh- KPH, that's horrible! I'm glad it didn't burn down too much, and it's a really good thing none of your cats died! I hope it gets fixed soon <3

Understandable. Google translate is probably messing up half the words I try to say in German XD

As I read that Glory understood the word Schon, I literally just stared at the screen and mumbled "whoops")

Leo stared off into the night, still strumming quiet, low notes that fit together perfectly and yet never formed a full song. He stayed silent for a while, but he felt like he needed something... else. Maybe one more melody. One more try. Something that wouldn't get him stared at in a bad way if they overheard it. So, something that's not super horribly sad and about a girl. Something that doesn't make it sound like i'm 17 and heartbroken. He thought drily. Lyrics popped in. Slightly more upbeat music flowed out of the guitar, quickly paired with his quiet yet slightly more cheerful voice. "Winter gettin' colder summer gettin' warmer tidal wave comin' 'cross the mexican border, why buy a gallon when it's cheaper by da barrel? Just don't get busted singin' christmas carols.... that's us, that's right, gotta love this american ride, both ends of the ozone burnin', funny how the world keeps turnin. Look ma, no hands, I loooove... this American... Ride. Gotta love this American Ride." A wry smile plastered itself on his face. A couple more lines. He couldn't resist this one. The tone changed quickly. A deeper song. "I fell into a burnin' ring of fire, I went down down down, and the flames went higher... and it burns burns burns... the ring of fire. The ring of fire. And it burns burns burns....... the ring of fire........ the ring of fire.." With that, he let the note drift off as he pushed himself up, tucked the guitar away, and clipped the case shut. Limping back into the building, his footsteps scarily silent for how big he was, he entered his room, set down the case, and managed to collapse gently into the bed before passing out.

In the morning, Leo slowly opened his eyes, wincing as the bright light streamed in. It was obviously terrifyingly early- he had always hated getting up early, but for some reason, he never could stay asleep. He gauged it being around 5:30-6:00. With a strangled grunt, he rolled onto his side and managed to get his legs underneath him, dizziness swamping his gaze for a couple seconds. After the initial twirling of the earth, he slowly stood, grimacing as the pain flared in his leg. His ribs. His everything. He groaned quietly, raking his hands through his hair before going on a mission to shower and change. It took absolutely forever, as he remembered again how bad the pain actually was, but after he got out, he did manage to get dressed as well. Clean clothes. What a miracle. He didn't have the energy to just snap some on- he'd probably end up accidentally conjuring a shirt inside of him and kill himself. He got about four buttons in before almost falling over, and at that point he was sick of standing there. Leo tucked the belt in, grabbed the case, and exited his dorm swiftly, heading towards the field. He went right outside then curved around, to the same place he had sat before. Now, since there was a small chance people would be around, he was determined to stick to songs that hopefully wouldn't show too plainly his thoughts. He now regretted the night before, as he had gotten far too lost in the music. "Weeeell way down yonder on the Chattahoochee, never knew how much that muddy water meant to me, but I learned how to swim and I learned who I was, lot about livin' and a little bout love." Leo sang the words quietly but with the perfect, cheery, resonant tone he usually had, his eyes closed as he focused on playing the right chords. This particular song was mighty fast, but he had played it quite a bit.

Flash Wallis

Flash couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned all night, eentually giving up on sleep and going to his office. He read reports of another corrupted camp, this one far away, on the other side of the world. He pondered whether to send a scout team and decided that that was Simara's decision to make but that he would also talk to Leo about it. The hours ticked by as he filled in paperword and just generally did his job. Flash thought about the night before, just him and his two friends, Leo's singing and guitar playing, Glory and Leo's language battles that he had joined. He realised, a bit startled, that for the first time in his life, he was happy. Flash worked to defend the undefended from evil and had found good people. At around 5:45 in the morning Flash heard Leo get up and go to the field to play some more music. Flash approached slowly, quietly, as to not disturb his friends music. At the end of the song that Leo was singing Flash walked up to him. 'You can play,' Flash said admirably.

Leo picked at a couple strings as he spent time pondering over which song to strum next. As Flash walked up, his eyes flitted up, getting focused quickly, showing slight surprised. How had he not noticed the guy? He needed to be more observative- especially when he was outside. A little alarm rang in his mind, saying Flash must've heard his terrifyingly horrible singing, but it was one of the quieter thoughts. "Practice makes perfect. I agree I can play, sometimes, but my singing is a bit rough." He winced with a small smile. It wasn't really true- of course, he saw himself much worse than he really was, but honestly his deep drawl made for the perfect country singing voice. No one had ever heard him sing rock, but he had another voice for that. However, you just couldn't try to imagine him singing pop or rap, otherwise you'd be traumatized for life. All in all, he was a good singer- he just didn't exploit the trait a whole lot. Usually it was where no one would notice, so he was a bit surprised Flash ... did. "How you doin'?" Leo asked, the southern drawl sticking, as it was still leftover from his singing. He stayed where he was, not wanting to go through the pain of getting up, but let his fingers still, the music dying out. "And, also, I totally will accept requests. Anything I know." He flashed a grin, gesturing for Flash to sit down- if he wanted to.

Flash sat on the grass at Leo's gesture. 'I'm good,' Flash told him. 'How are you going? Oh i don't mind what you play, whatever you want. Also you know that you can take a break if you need time for your body to heal?' Flash spread a small blanket on the wet grass before unveiling a large breakfast, obviously for more then one. 'I brought some breakfast,' Flash said, stating the obvious. 'What do you want?' Flash pushed a plate towards Leo.

Leo nodded. "Good. I'm alive.. in quite a bit of pain, but alive. Happy that I'm back with my guitar." He chuckled lightly, picking at chords as he thought. "I know I can. I don't think it's really possible, though, mentally." Leo grinned, then his eyes widened slightly as he looked at the meal. It did flash to something, though. No pun intended. "I'll eat a couple bites, but I did promise Glory breakfast." He answered, although his stomach was greatly urging him to eat all he possible could. He was starving.

General Wallis

'Of course,' Flash said grinning slightly. 'You realise that there is Glory if you want a break, she's easily good enough to be a General but there are enough of us'. He finished his breakfast, sensing that Leo was hungryand pushed the remaining food towards his plate. 'I'm full, you take it,' he said.

Lieutenant Dwyer
In the morning, Glory groaned rather annoyedly as she woke, squinting at the sunlight. Right, she'd left the window and curtains open the night before. Oops. She slid out of bed, standing slowly, and making her way over to her wardrobe. She glanced out the still-open window and guessed it was maybe 6:30, but it still felt too early. Which was weird for Glory, since she was usually up at least an hour earlier. She changed her clothes into pretty much the same thing she always wore- white undershirt, dark, gray-ish green tunic, and dark gray pants. If she was going to go kick ass, she might've worn chainmail, but hopefully today would be relatively injury-free. Wishful thinking, she thought dryly as she tugged on her boots. She vaguely remembered hearing Leo playing again ealier in the morning, and figured he might still be outside. She also recalled him agreeing to go to breakfast, though that'd depend on his ability to walk without dropping dead. Meandering at an agreeable pace so her various wounds wouldn't scream at her, Glory made her way down the stairs and outside, to where she'd heard Leo. She found Flash and Leo sitting on a blanket with what looked liked a ... picnic? Probably Flash's doing. "G'morning guys," She said, smiling. "You're up early." She sat down sort of between Flash and Leo, not wanting to turn her back to the woods. "What have you two been up to?" She asked.
