The guy was a mystery, everything about him seemed contradictory. Creepy and kind, menacing and soothing, unapproachable and vurnerable at the same time. Her insides were a swirl of emotion. Zhu-li didn't know how she felt towards this stranger she only just met.

One thing was certain though. Being around him filled her with a sense of warmth, it was pleasant in a way. Though Amilanthior's singing was a little off key, it felt like a lullaby. For the first time in ages she felt... safe...secure...

Sleep came peacefully for Zhu-li that night.

Like all good things, it ended far too quickly. She woke in the morning wondering if it had been a dream? but two empty cups of tea beside them proved her wrong. She looked beside her at the still sleeping boy and smiled.

Rising quietly, she packed her things into a neat bundle. Maybe they would see each other again during their time in Beacon? She certainly hoped so.

Before leaving, she kneeled beside him, carefully smoothing out his blankets and leaning closer. "Thank you." she whispered into his ear, unsure whether he heard it.

Like a mirage, she was gone, with no trace that she was ever there to begin with.

Dawn awoke at dawn (pun intended XD) with a crick in her neck, a pounding in her skull and a much fouler attitude than usual.

The brawler slogged her way through the sleeping area, then the showers, then the cafeteria, with a grumpy scowl on her face the whole time. Why must hangovers exist? the alcoholic lamented the only adversary she could never beat. I can't punch feelings!

Breakfast (mostly beer) was eaten in a haze before making her way to the lockers, with a short detour to douse her face with water. Feeling slightly refreshed, Dawn threw back her locker door and pulled out her 'baby'.

A quick polish and ammo check later, Titaness was slung onto her back. The weapon's familiar weight had a calming effect on her, like a mother and child, they were inseparable. Shaking her head to clear it, Dawn stumbled her way to the Beacon Cliffs for this so called 'Initiation'.
