⊕ 03 [action]

[This takes place on Friday, the last day of the experiment.

Terra's been feeling a strong desire to train today. Pullups and pushups in the clearing, combat training in the battle dome... He's got stamina to spare, but there's no doubt he's pushing himself; usually he has the sense to stop once in awhile.

He can be seen in the forest near house 39 exercising in the morning or over in the battle dome past noon. ...Or maybe even passed out on the grass on his way back to the house, towards midnight.]

[Sorry, Seto, but it looks like tripping right over Terra didn't seem to wake him up. He's still ~~passed out~~ sleeping there on the grass.]

[Terra must be really tired...or somethings wrong. Okay, Seto's starting to worry now. He quickly turns around and puts his hands on his chest, shaking him a little]

Terra..?

[The shaking motion helps, but Terra is slow to respond. He cracks one eye open.]

...Huh? Who?

[He's still half-asleep.]

[Oh thank god. He sighs in relief, almost shaking a little as he takes his hands off of Terra's chest]

I-It's me, Seto...

[Terra opens both eyes, blinking a few times as he recognizes the boy.]

Seto? Where--? Did I fall asleep?

I guess so...You were just lying here when I tripped over you a moment ago. [He laughs nervously]

I've got a headache. [...And he can't seem to move at the moment. Huh.] What are you doing out at this hour?

Are you okay...?

[Seto perks up to show he's wide awake] I normally don't sleep a lot at night so, I thought I'd take a walk!

[He ignores the fact that he can't really get up right now to focus on Seto.]

A night owl, huh?

Yeah! It became a habit back home. [He smiles brightly] What are you doing out here so late?

I was over in the battle dome practicing. [He can laugh a little, but ... wow, his ribs kinda hurt. It's starting to sink in just how much he was exercising today.] Lost track of time, I guess.

You sure do like to train, don't you? [A look of worry washes over his face] It's not healthy to practice like that for so long...

No pain, no gain. [Terra somehow manages to look cheerful as he says it, not wanting Seto to worry too much.] I guess it probably wasn't the best idea, practicing like this so soon after the draft. [Just a week ago, right? It seemed like a surprisingly long time ago now.]

You should be resting, like you said you would...[With a pout, Seto lays himself down next to Terra and stares up at the sky]

[He laughs breathlessly at that pout, but watches as Seto settles down next to him.]

I'm resting now. What have you been up?

[He gives a thoughtful hum] Nothing really...Just hanging out with Crow. It's so nice to have him around.

[The name gets Terra's attention.]

Crow? [A crow? Or was that a name?]

Yeah, Crow! He's my best friend from my world. He apparently came here when I did. [He smiles softly]

That's good to hear. So you have someone here to share your experiences with.

Yeah! I just hope...those Malnosso people don't take him away from me...

Take him away? You think they'd do that?

People say the Malnosso aren't very nice so I'm just worried that they would...

I've heard about these kidnappings... And apparently people going home and somehow coming back. [He shakes his head.] It would be nice if there was a way to tell something was coming.

I wish there was a way to tell that too. [He sits up and looks at Terra, frowning. He's honestly a bit scared of these people] You won't let them take you away...right?

[Terra tilts his head when Seto sits up, finally getting the strength together to sit up a little as well.]

Let them? I'd be fighting every step of the way.
