Darian and Alice sat at the back of the cafeteria, the general clamor of lunch mixing together into the general indistinct buzzing that large crowds tended to make. Alice was slowly picking at her food on her tray while Darian slept, his head in his arms and his food untouched. The dark skinned woman sighed as she placed her fork down and gently shook the faunus. "Darian," she called softly as she tried to wake him, getting no response. Alice frowned slightly at this response and shook him harder, calling his name once more. When the man still refused to wake Alice resorted to a desperate measure and pinched the fuzzy tips of his large cat ears, pulling on them.

Darian awoke with a hiss as he swatted at the woman's hands knocking them away. "What?" he hissed as he rubbed the tips of his ears.

"You're not eating," Alice stated as she pointed at his untouched food, "and you're not getting enough sleep."

"What do you think I was trying to do," Darian stated as he laid his head back down in his arms.

"Catch up on your sleep because you were out all night last night, again," the woman stated as she gently reached over and grabbed the man's face, lifting it up so she could look him in the eyes. "You're up to something and I want to help."

"It's nothing to be worried about," Darian stated as he remove the woman's strong hands from his face. "I'm just...spreading myself thin with some...extracurricular activities."

Alice let out an exasperated sigh as she looked at the man, knowing he wasn't telling her something. "This has to do with the White Fang, doesn't it?" Alice asked as she looked at the man. Darian looked away from the woman, preferring to stay quiet than lie to the woman he loved. Not getting an answer Alice leaned in close and pulled out a white mask with red markings on it discreetly, showing it to the man. "I found this in your drawer."

Quickly, Darian snatched the mask from her hand and stuffed it in his pocket, looking around to make sure no one saw it. "So what, now you're going through my stuff?!" Darian snapped, his temper and lack of sleep momentarily getting the better of him.

"I'm just trying to make sure you're not doing anything stupid!" Alice declared, her own frustration evident in her eyes.

"I know what I'm doing damn it!" the man snarled as he slammed his fist into his tray, shattering the plate on it and cutting his hand.
