[Ken's little tired from his nightmare from last night. Logically, spending a night in a strange room in a strange place would do that to him...probably. However, that's not what he's really bothered by it much, he's just dragging his feet a little more on his way to class.]

I thought I was done with school.

[Larsa is coming up behind him, watching him drag his feet.]

As young as we are... it should come as no surprise that our studies are incomplete.

[busies.livejournal.com]

[Ken stops to turn around to see who's talking to him and is quite surprised to see someone around his age.]

I know but... isn't it okay to get to have long breaks between our studies?

[cadetshota.livejournal.com]

Usually, yes.

[He comes up to him and gives a slight bow of his head in greeting.] I don't believe we've met. I'm Larsa.

[busies.livejournal.com]

Ah, no. I don't believe we could have.

[Ken bows slightly himself in return.]

I'm new here and it's nice to meet you Larsa. I'm Ken Amada.

[cadetshota.livejournal.com]

Ken Amada. 'Tis a pleasure to meet with you.

I find myself still unacquainted with the structure and courses yet.

[busies.livejournal.com]

Really?

It seemed to be similar to what I've been exposed to.

[cadetshota.livejournal.com]

You have more experience in the matter then, and are more prepared it seems.

[busies.livejournal.com]

I suppose, but eventually you should get used to it.

[cadetshota.livejournal.com]

Provided we are all here long enough, I imagine I shall.

[busies.livejournal.com]

True.

...is there even a way to get out?

[cadetshota.livejournal.com]

I... really do not know.

[busies.livejournal.com]

For some reason, this doesn't surprise me.

[cadetshota.livejournal.com]

May I ask why?

[busies.livejournal.com]

From the little that I've been able to understand, getting in sounds easier than getting out.

[cadetshota.livejournal.com]

It does, doesn't it. [Purses his lips in thought, glancing upwards.]

[busies.livejournal.com]

It's usually the case after all.

[sighs heavily, so much for summer fun]

So how long have you been here?

[cadetshota.livejournal.com]

Nearly a month, I believe. That is, if I counted the days and weeks correctly.

[busies.livejournal.com]

That's quite a bit of time.

[cadetshota.livejournal.com]

It is, you're right.

My time here thus far has been rather enjoyable nontheless.

[busies.livejournal.com]

That's reassuring... I guess the rough nights are something you get used to.

[cadetshota.livejournal.com]

Rough nights..? Is... everything alright?

[busies.livejournal.com]

I just had trouble sleeping last night. It's probably due to being in a new place.

[cadetshota.livejournal.com]

It may be that, yes. Did... particular dreams plague your sleep as well?

[busies.livejournal.com]

It was just a nightmare.

[cadetshota.livejournal.com]

[Frowns faintly and lowers his gaze.]

Then it would seem we are not alone. I, too, have experienced nightmares in the past few nights.
