He snickered again. Perhaps he had fun teasing one of the youngest Class Zero students, despite his odd opinion of them as a whole. “Training, huh?” He didn’t sound convinced, not entirely so. He wanted to know more, and he had the time to ask further questions.

“— Training alone?”

Eight knew Naghi didn’t believe him. He knew it didn’t matter, he knew it shouldn’t bug him, but it was something about the older boy’s attitude towards the matter that got to Eight, like Naghi had no reason to not believe him.

“What’s it to you, anyway?” Eight snarled.

Naghi snickered in response to Eight’s unenthusiastic reply. “I came here to see how you were doing. I might send you out on a mission, soon, so I need you to be at your best.” The martial-artist was one of the youngest of Class Zero, and so perhaps he was more affected by the war than the older students. Naghi wasn’t concerned, per se, but it didn’t hurt to check on the other’s progress.

Observing the area around him, he casually continued speaking, “— You seem to be a bit of a loner, lately. Something up with you?”

“You don’t have to patronise me.” Eight snarled. He hated it when he was addressed in anyway that implies that he needs be watched over. As for as he was concerned, he was the rock. He was the one who protects. Eight rolled his eyes, and muttered, “I’m fine.”

Naghi’s observation however caused Eight to raise a brow. Amidst everything lately, he has been rather out of loop, but he wouldn’t say he’s been a loner. Busy, maybe. The older boy’s tone however did not sound concerned, and Eight wasn’t sure what he wanted. Either way, Eight doesn’t need to give him a detailed answer. “…I’ve just been training.”

[Groans as he shakes his head] Not really Naghi, we do rely on you for intelligence, so we will have to interact. What do you want, Naghi? I’m on taking a rest break right now.

[Reviews Black Magic study book quietly in the quad]

This one gets me all the time…

It’s cold tonight. Better warm myself up with some training.

“It’s quiet today. Guess I should take this as a chance to train.”

..Eh.. he said Mother told him.. And I overheard him talkin’ to Commander earlier and apparently they were put in to spy because a solider got killed or somethin’ under Mothers orders.. I dunno if thats exactly what he said..heh.. couldn’t hear very well..

[rubs the back of his neck] And I’m worried about Cinque..

…[looks down at the ground and shakes his head] Poor Cinque is in the middle of this…[folds arms and sighs.] Well, someone needs to at least try and find evidence, at least, look into this more. What you thought you heard isn’t really good enough, Jack.

onelongkatana:

[rubs the back of his head and sighs] Sorry.. its just that Trey told me not to tell anyone about it.. oh man he’s gonna be so mad at me for tellin’ ya this…. but.. 

[takes a breath and crosses his arms in front of his chest] Machina and Rem were only put in our class to spy on us and Mother…

…W-What? How does he know that? [squints and shakes his head] I wouldn’t believe Rem…Machina…well, there’s more signs that he isn’t a spy. 

Really, though, what makes Trey so sure?

Jack…[sighs] your mouth.

What “stuff”?

I’m sorry yeah~? I was just so angry about it! 

And..hehe…uh.. [looks around before grabbing his hand and dragging through the hallways to his room]

Angry wh..? 

Wai—[dragged, stumbling at first before gaining his balance, and upon realising where he’s taking him, stops struggling and follows]

[Upon arrival, he knocks the back of Jack’s head.] Just tell me next time.
