The reply was short but what surprised him was her shifting a little more toward him. She looped her arm around him, pressing her face into his shoulder. For a moment, it left his heart leaping into his throat, though it wasn't at all uncomfortable.

He looped an arm around her waist, not at all surprisingly thin given how skinny she already was. Somehow, this felt natural, like it was supposed to happen this way. Peyote tried not to overthink it and simply let the moment be a moment.

"You're a bold one," he pointed out, wondering if she would answer or not.

She seemed content, pressed against him. Maybe it was just for warmth. Who knew, in the morning she might be a little clearer in mind and be able to talk about what she might have been feeling right now, if there were feelings to talk about.

Regardless of that, Peyote simply took the time to relax, oddly contented himself with her pressed so closely against him now.


---- [ x ] ----

Djinn probably did more for Mohammed than what he could do within his own power. That was understandable. The fact that he was still alive now was amazing in and of itself.

Mohammed focused on her spirit partner, however, and seemed to be lost in thought about it. Kalila didn't mind the silence. She tugged the blanket around her a bit more as she looked at the sky. She saw small shooting stars darting across the sky before fading out. How many of them had gone by now?

"He's doing his best with the situation at hand," Kalila finally responded, "Maybe in time, that'll change. I think he just has my safety in mind first and foremost."

Mohammed's words hung in the air for a moment. She didn't want him having to do another job when he was already doing so much and was often tired.

"It's okay, you don't have to do that," she expressed easily, "I mean, I know you want to for obvious reasons...To better defend myself, right? But you do so much and you look so tired..."

Rekka had already started to more fully doze off against Peyote as she was. She was content, obviously so. It was easy to drift off more fully when she was this warm and comfortable. All the same she roused a little as Peyote shifted, moving to wrap an arm around her, tugging her closer.

Her smile grew larger even as she shifted with him into a more comfortable position. It felt safer like this, enveloped in Peyote's embrace. She didn't dwell on it long as a contented sigh escaped her.

"Mmm, maybe," she murmured, answer muffled slightly. At this rate it was going to be quicker than usual before Rekka fully fell back asleep even with the brief bits of conversation they shared.

The blankets seemed to have been forgotten now, tangled around legs or tossed aside. It didn't matter much given the body heat shared now, however innocently it was. Rekka found it hard to want to think much about anything, simply content with laying here as they were.

How long until the sun rose and would peek in through the blinds? Rekka didn't know and didn't move to glance at the clock to figure it out. Whenever it would happen would be too soon in her opinion right now.


----[x]----

Even as they talked her gaze strayed more and more to the sky where the stars gleamed brilliantly. Even the half moon that shone bright in the cloudless sky could do little to hide its companions. All the same, Mohammed could not spare the same appreciation, keeping an eye out on this side of their safe house.

He nodded again at Kalila's response. That was certainly true enough and he could not blame her spirit for being cautious right now. Overtaxing her while something worse might happen if they were all found here... No, Mohammed couldn't allow himself to think of that possibility.

"An admirable thing to think about," he agreed.

Despite his observation it did not take long for Kalila to deny his having to take to teaching her. He blinked, gaze torn away from the steep dunes out in the distance to her. Did he look tired all of the time? He supposed it was true enough, given the circumstances. One never had quite enough time for rest these days.

"Perhaps, though I worry all the same..."

He didn't think she could snuggle closer to him than she already had. If he had to guess, it seemed like she was quite pleased to be pressed so close to him. He wouldn't have guessed this would happen after a week but he wasn't complaining.

Peyote reached up with his free hand, toying with her hair carefully. If she didn't like it, she would say so. For the time being, he would continue these ministrations in attempts to lull her back to sleep.

He glanced at the clock. He couldn't believe the time that had passed in that short time. A sigh of contentment left him as he closed his eyes again.

"Best sleep," he started groggily, "Unless you don't plan on doing anything in the morning."

For all he knew, she could sleep to noon. That was something that he would enjoy himself. Sleeping in so rare, so why not indulge while he can? What was more, he could lay like this all day if he really wanted to.


---- [ x ] ----

Kalila offered a brief hum in response to his words It was admirable if she was honest. She knew Mato was doing what he could to build her up as a shaman. Here, it was merely take time.

She felt his gaze on her a moment after she had spoken up about him looking tired. The bags under his eyes were so dark. While it shouldn't have surprised her, she still felt bad. He needed to rest too.

"Mmm, I do too," she told him, sparing him a glance, "I'm...really scared most nights, not sure what's going to happen, if it will or when. I imagine that's a common thought though..."

She simply felt it so prominently because she had no idea how she got here. No one could ensure her safety and more than half the people she couldn't even communicate with. That often made her a nervous wreck at night.

"I'm still hoping for the best, I just don't know what 'the best' will be in this situation."

A pleased sound escaped her as she felt his fingers threaded through her hair, toying with it idly. How long had it been since she'd had someone play with her hair? Rekka couldn't recall at all. The feeling was long forgotten, only spurred into remembrance now that the sensation was felt.

She managed a noncommittal hum in answer to Peyote's advice. Truthfully she couldn't recall having any plans for the morning but then she wasn't in the best of positions to think much either. Even so, sleep was a good idea and she was already well on its way. It felt like only seconds until she was lost in sleep for the next few hours.

How long did she manage to sleep? Rekka couldn't say, only that the next thing she knew was that she was burying her face into Peyote's chest to block out what sunlight streamed in through the blinds. It was several more minutes until she realized the position she was in, tugged close to Peyote, clutching him to her as well. Her brow furrowed, trying to think back on the night as her face grew hot.

The alarm had turned on and woken her up but aside from that she couldn't recall much else... Rekka remained where she was in Peyote's arms, heart beating fast in her ears and face burning a little. It wasn't unpleasant like this, warm and comfortable even, but she'd only known him a week!

'If Kalila was here she'd have a goddamn field day!' she concluded.


----[x]----

It was silent for a time, not even a strong wind blowing by to cut through it. Mohammed felt it was best that way, able to hear anything from afar more clearly. As of yet nothing had reached his attention and he hoped that it remained that way. Even so he knew that at any time something could take a turn for the worse.

Kalila's admittance to how she spent her nights this week were not a surprise to him. Mohammed would honestly have feared if it had been the opposite for her. There was much to fear her and to be wary about. Anyone who tried to brave it all with nothing but bravado wouldn't last long in this situation.

"That's the most we can do all too often," he answered, shaking his head. It wasn't ideal to think about it like that but it was the truth. "In time perhaps the best will befall us all here."

He had his doubts about that though he wouldn't say that aloud to Kalila. There were too many years of his life spent fighting for these people, for his land...

Peyote didn't know when he'd drifted off to sleep. He remembered being awake and then drifting off sometime after. It was the sun that eventually woke him, peeking through the blinds. He groaned softly, trying not to shift. Rekka was still pressed against him, though whether she was up or not, he couldn't say.

She shifted a little, maybe rousing. Peyote glanced down at her, blinking when he realized how red her face was. Even her ears were burning! What the hell happened?

"Ay, you alright, chica?" he inquired, pushing himself upward a little. That wasn't sick, that was embarrassed, "What, somethin' wrong?"

The expression he received was that of confusion, which inevitably confused him as well. What was wrong that made her so red in the face?

"Come on, you can tell me," he urged a little more, wondering just what was on her mind.


---- [ x ] ----

Kalila's gaze shifted back to the sky again. What he said, she knew was the truth and even so, worry still clawed at her belly. Maybe it was because of all the uncertainty. Everyone was afraid of the unknown, after all. That was something every person had to deal with.

Still, it was probably a good thing that she was scared. Scared meant she knew that she wasn't going to get in over her head. Kalila wasn't a fighter in the first place. She just wanted to survive here.

"I hope it will," she finally answered him, "We'll just have to wait and see."

Maybe that was a little too much to hope for. Kalila didn't care. There had to be some good in this, at some point. She just had to look for it and keep it close. That was the most she could do to keep her moral up these days.

"It can't be bad all the time..." she told herself, simply trying to reassure whatever thoughts might enter her head.

Her heart leaped at Peyote's voice though Rekka wasn't sure if it did so because of embarrassment or something else entirely. There wasn't enough time to think about it before he'd shifted, propping himself up and prodding for an answer. Was her face that red to warrant his concern? Maybe it was, it certainly felt hot enough.

She cleared her throat before she attempted to answer, having to find her voice. It wasn't easy for her to admit to much, not when it came to things like this. There had only been a few boyfriends in her life and none went farther than one getting her first kiss. She had no experience having to relate her feelings to another in any sort of situation like this.

Eventually she managed to say "When'd I get in your bed...?" A hand found her way to her face, as if to somehow cool it quicker that way even as she pouted up at Peyote. All she recalled was that alarm clock waking her up, everything else was fuzzy and unclear. She knew they talked but what about she couldn't remember either.

Was it just her imagination or did surprise flit over Peyote's face at her question? All the same Rekka forced herself to hold his gaze, even as her face still felt hot.


----[x]----

Kalila didn't seem to know for sure how to answer though she tried all the same. Mohammed appreciated her attempts and her hopes that this place would see better days. For too long they'd been combating the American military already... It was difficult to see an end in sight however.

He spared a moment to reach out to squeeze her shoulder reassuringly before he allowed his hand to fall back to his lap. Though she was American herself Mohammed couldn't just let a fellow shaman try to survive on their own out here. It was because of this find that he fought so hard to keep her in a more comfortable position here despite what some of the others wished for. Mohammed wouldn't ever mention that to her, however. She had enough on her mind as it was, or so it seemed to him.

"Over time we might find better days," he agreed.

The quiet of that night, it was more bearable he found with another shaman to converse with and get to know. How long since he'd been able to talk with another like this? Mohammed couldn't recall. There was just too much conflict and chaos over the years that came to mind first.

"If you grow too cold or tired feel free to head back inside," Mohammed pointed out eventually.

She finally shifted, looking really awkward as she did so. What brought all this one? She was the one who came into his bed last night and started all of this. Peyote couldn't imagine her as being shy yet...

What she asked stopped him for a minute. He looked at her, confusion marring on his features. Did she really forget from the time she fell asleep? Did people do that or was she that out of it? Rekka really was a strange girl.

"Uhhh...Last night, when you turned my alarm off," he told her, trying to repress any laughter that might bubble in his throat, "You...you really don't remember?"

Who did things like that? Just randomly fell asleep and forgot the prior nights events? Peyote could think of a few ways that could cause problems in a relationship but he didn't bring that up now.

"Chica, are you okay?" he prodded further," You...don't suffer from memory loss, do you?"

That whole admittance might had been gone from her memory now. Everything they told each other. That was going to be awkward when it came back up...


---- [ x ] ----

There was quiet for some time. Kalila didn't mind that or the wariness she felt. The chill kept her awake, even if she wanted to sleep. Worries on her mind would have kept her awake anyways.

His hand on her shoulder was warm. A gentle squeeze was a reassurance, if she was honest. Mohammed was trying his best and that's all she could really ask for. She wouldn't put anything more unnecessarily on his shoulders.

Mohammed let her know she could go back in whenever she wished. Kalila spared him a smile in return, thankful that he looked after her well being. Regardless, she wanted to remain, just a little while longer.

"I'll go soon, I promise," she replied to him, "Just a little longer. Then I'll go and sleep."

Kalila knew she couldn't neglect herself. Without sleep, she grew anxious and that anxiety led to panic attacks. If she could avoid that, she would. Kalila didn't want anyone to see her like that, much less him.

Despite his initial confusion Rekka was sure she saw amusement in his eyes. This was only confirmed further when his shoulders shook with the effort of concealing a laugh. If her embarrassment had lessened any in the last few minutes it returned full force now. Was it really that funny?

She was sure she was pouting now even as her face burned. "'Course I remember your dumb alarm! It's so loud, how could I not? And I remember talking but that's it..."

Peyote was quick to ask if she had any sort of memory complications to which Rekka scoffed. She was just tired, that was all. Even if she was taking all of this in stride--all of the things Peyote had no way of knowing, or even how difficult they were to come to terms with--when it came to night, it was hours before she found rest. It had taken its toll on her, as it always did.

"My memory is as good as anyone else's, I've just been tired lately!" she answered simply. 'Well... more like exhausted, to be honest...' Maybe that sort of thing wasn't something Peyote had been able to pick up from her demeanor in the past week. He hadn't yet seen her at her worst, without medication, after all.


----[x]----

Kalila didn't seem to mind his offer, in fact it almost seemed like she appreciated it to some point. Maybe she hadn't expected it. All the same she declined for the time being, instead turning to stare up at the stars once again. Mohammed allowed a small smile to cross his features, a shake of his head following as he turned back to the far off landscape.

"You must certainly enjoy the sight then," Mohammed observed. "Good, I'm glad to see that."

There wasn't enough time for him to do the same, most days. Being able to see someone else do so was calming, reassuring even. There were still those out there that took solace in the simple things that nature had to offer. It was nice to see, heart-warming even.

However long they both were out there, enjoying the silence that night brought along, Mohammed couldn't say. It was nice to have company on his watch, even if his attention had to be more fully to the landscape and what dwelled within it around them than to speaking and entertaining her.

The embarrassed expression soon turned to that of pout as she stared up at him. She really didn't remember any of what had happened! She remembered bits and pieces but the rest seemed like a dream, tucked away in some deep part of her mind.

"Chica, that's a little dangerous if you just up and forget things after you crawl into someone else's bed!" he expressed, laughing lightly at her.

Really, if she was that tired, she should have nodded off sooner but she had been so content in snuggling up next to him. Then again, maybe at that point she was had already been half asleep. Who could say!

"Well, then you must have been really tired!" he agreed lightly, "Best be careful next time."

Peyote hadn't minded. In fact, if she was comfortable with sleeping at his side, he'd allow it. It wasn't as if he complained last night and he felt rather contented with someone pressed close to him. It wasn't like he was going to tell her no at this point.

"I didn't mind it chica," he replied, "The fact that you don't remember is what's surprising!"


---- [ x ] ----

She stayed and watched those stars as long as she could. In her mind, she might not get another chance. Thinking that way made Kalila a little sad but at times, she expected worse things to happen. Just being gifted with the sight now was enough.

"I don't know how anyone couldn't enjoy it," she had told him, well aware that most people wouldn't have bothered looking up at the sky when even if light pollution didn't reach so badly.

It was only when she started to nod off did she finally retreat back inside, bidding Mohammed a good night. She figured it might be best to return, just in case. She didn't want to be an easy target out here if something happened.

Kalila had curled up into her blanket then, her hoodie still on. The chill had worked it's way into her bones but she did what she could to ignore it. Sleep finally captured her then, the images of those stars dotting her dreams.

She wouldn't rouse until late the next morning, Mato not too far from her bed. She felt better, at least a little bit. Maybe things would start looking up from here on out...

With as much humor as Peyote was getting out of this Rekka wasn't sure if her face would cool entirely anytime soon. It wasn't even entirely the fact that she was in his bed so much as the fact that she could hardly remember the entire situation that led to her falling asleep there. It must not have been too complicated given they were both still dressed and Peyote didn't seem too inclined to have to explain it all.

"You say that like I've ever made a habit of crawling into someone else's bed!" she accused. Even so she had yet to be able to wipe the pout from her face, her cheeks still rather pink. Despite all that she hadn't yet rolled from his bed, warm and not yet really ready to face the day. "You're such a punk..."

The accusation held no venom behind it, merely being a response to his mirth at his expense. Even so she settled back, unable to dredge herself up out of bed yet. Despite the embarrassment of waking up like this she was comfortable at Peyote's side.

"So, enlighten me," she managed to say before a yawn escaped her. She really was curious as to what her half-asleep self had said. "What'd I babble about...?"

For a moment Rekka attempted to remember herself as she got comfortable again. She was still close enough to Peyote to feel his body heat.


----[x]----

As the conversation had drawn to a halt Mohammed allowed himself the time to brood as he stood watch. It was rather comfortable like that, despite the chill in the air, with Kalila at his side. Despite her roots she wasn't so bad. If he was honest Mohammed might have gotten quite attached already.

Eventually she'd retreated inside as promised, once the cold got to her and when she deemed it necessary for more sleep. Mohammed spared a smile and a "good night" before she'd disappeared through the doorway, leaving him to his thoughts and the starry sky.

His thoughts were long and roundabout at times for the rest of his watch. Mohammed didn't mind, used to it after so many years. Even so, gripping the rifle close in case of someone stumbling upon them meant his fingers grew all the colder and stiff even. Despite having grown used to such discomforts it still made it difficult to keep his thoughts straight when his fingers ached. As such it was a blessing when he was relieved hours later, giving him the time to rest for a few hours himself.

Despite being quite ready for sleep, Mohammed still went about the usual precautions upon reaching the room he shared with Fajer and another pair of rebels. Making sure the safety was on, Mohammed tucked the rifle away in a safe spot, making sure it was well within reach before he properly allowed himself the time to crawl into bed.

The blush had yet to fade from her face. Really, he wasn't sure how she didn't get dizzy from all of it rushing to her face so quickly. Her ears had been so red from it just a few moments ago.

"Well, I wouldn't know, so maybe you do have that habit!" he teased further, trying to repress another chuckle, "Only to people who don't like me, chica."

Truth be told, he had grown a little attached to Rekka in the passed week. He hadn't figured that was possible so quickly but who knew. Stranger things had happened and Peyote had known a lot of strange things in his life.

The question came to what they had talked about last night. Peyote laid back down, thinking it through. Maybe he would admit it, maybe he wouldn't. Where was the fun in just telling?

"Nah, I think I'll leave that for a while," he replied in a light tone, "Keep you guessing, chica."

That would leave her curious and give him a little more to tease her with. Finding that she might actually be quite shy, that was funnier than he realized just moments ago!


---- [ x ] ----

Kalila had curled up in bed, blanket tugged around her tightly. It kept her warm after the chill of the night had worked it's way into her bones. Her knee was a little sore but other than that, she found little discomfort.

The dark helped lull her to sleep, the sight of those stars still filling her head. She hoped they would stay for a long time. It was a comfort to think about them.

When she next woke, the sun had risen and heat became more prominent to her again. Kalila ignored it as best she could, simply wanting to doze a little longer.

Kalila could hear the usual soft voices behind the door or the people moving down the halls but other than that, all was quiet. That was good...rest was good and she needed as much as she could get.

Still, she worried about how long this might last. The worries swirled in her mind, waking her a little further. A sigh passed her lips as she eventually opened her eyes, staring at the door. It was the most she could manage but all she wanted was to go back to sleep.

Despite his good mood over her bashfulness Rekka could feel her face cooling as the minutes ticked by. That was a relief, it was embarrassing enough not recalling exactly why she was in Peyote's bed. For the most part nothing serious seemed to have happened, the two of them fully clothed.

She swatted at his chest as he teased her again, a mix of mock offense crossing her face. "I do not!" A moment later she pouted up at him. It wasn't quite serious, more along the lines of joking along with him. God only knew Rekka was wide awake now after the surprise of waking up cuddled into Peyote's chest. "Oh, darn, and here I thought we were becoming fast friends!"

It was quiet for a moment or two after she asked what they'd talked about. For a short time it seemed like Peyote was thinking back on it all even as he laid back down more fully next to her. Like Rekka it seemed like Peyote was quite content as they were. Even so it didn't take long before he answered, denying her that knowledge.

A scoff escaped her, tossing him another offended look. She must have said something worthwhile to him if he wasn't gonna fess up to it. Or maybe he'd said something embarrassing himself he wanted her to forget.

"Oh, now that's just rude," she accused lightly.


----[x]----

As per usual, Mohammed was not quite sure how many hours of sleep he managed upon being relieved of his watch. All he really knew was that when he awoke, hearing Fajer and Aabis speaking to one another, that he had not gotten as much as he would have liked. This was something of the norm for his days however and, stifling a yawn, he pushed himself up and started his day.

It did not take long for his thoughts to grow sharper and his attention weariness to become less noticeable. This was how days went, rifle in hand as he took to his morning duties around this safe house. Luckily they had plenty of food but the water... they'd need to send a small group out to procure more later today.

With that thought in mind he headed towards Kalila's room. She was left on her own, not many quite comfortable with sharing a sleeping space with an American. Some didn't even quite like her presence in the safe house, relatively free to wander down the halls and rooms if she wished. Mohammed trusted her, after all, and if only because of that did the rest of the rebels really allow it.

As he had the night before, he knocked upon her door before allowing himself enough space to peek his head inside. She was awake, that was for sure, peering at him owlishly for a moment. Mohammed offered a welcoming smile.

"I hope you slept well," he greeted.

He chuckled at her comment. The way she had made things sound last night, that was certainly true. Funny part of it was she didn't even remember that conversation to realize how ironic it was right now.

"Maybe we are," he mused lightly.

For her part, she wouldn't know what transpired that night. At least, not right now. Maybe he would fess up about it someday. For the moment, it was just a perfect way to tease her.

He'd brood on the rest of the matters later on. If something came out of this situation and her, maybe then he'd eventually admit what she had. It would really depend on how things went along.

"Of course!" he answered with a light chuckle, "I'm nothing but rude, chica. And that always leaves you guess, yea?"

He reached out and poked her side lightly after that. She flinched a little, making him raise an eyebrow. Didn't like being poked now? Funny, that was an odd thing, though maybe he'd experiment with that a little further.


---- [ x ] ----

Kalila eventually sat up, running a hand through her choppy hair. It was thick and sometimes a hassle to deal with in this heat. Part of her wished she had her bandanna to tie it back. She tried not to let it bother her.

A rapping came upon her door and no sooner than that did Mohammed push his way inside. He was a welcomed face at this point. Most avoided her and those who didn't, she couldn't even understand. It got lonely after a while without someone living to talk to.

"Better than most nights," she answered him after a moment.

It was the truth. Some nights she expected the worst and it wasn't often that she got any sleep at all. It was probably easy to notice what nights those were.

"I hope you managed a little yourself," she carried on after a brief moment.

Kalila couldn't imagine how half of these people ran with so little sleep. Then again, if she stayed awake too long, she normally suffered quickly.

Peyote certainly seemed to be ornery today. Rekka wondered if it had to do with whatever they'd talked about last night or not. It was even possible that whatever had come up only made him comfortable with teasing her in this manner.

She squirmed as he reached out to poke her side and she was quick to swat his hand away. It was a light thing yet it tickled! It'd been a long time since anyone attempted to tickle her, thank god. The last thing she needed was for Peyote to find out about that if he was intent on being this ornery though.

"Oh, ha ha," she answered dryly. "Do you like to leave all the girls guessing or just cute American ones?"

It was odd, laying like this and bantering as they were, but it wasn't unpleasant. If anything Rekka found it enjoyable even if it was rather at her expense. If nothing else it was all interesting. Still, it was almost baffling how quickly they seemed to hit it off from the start. A small part of Rekka was glad that Kalila was not around to see lest Kalila take to teasing and pushing Rekka about it. It was a little embarrassing to think about.


----[x]----

Mohammed allowed himself inside the room more fully, the door closing behind him with a soft 'click.' It seemed that Kalila was awake and more or less ready for the day. Then again most days here weren't terribly exciting. That alone left Mohammed on edge if only because it would only be a matter of time...

He spared a nod in answer to her. "I see; yes, I managed some sleep myself. I assure you, there's no need to worry about me," he said a moment after.

Kalila was fussing with her short hair, drawing Mohammed's attention to it. Did it bother her? She was still dressed rather unwell for this region of the world. Perhaps they should take the time today to find something more fitting for her, if she would allow it. The topic hadn't quite come up yet in the week she'd been here.

"Are you hungry though?" he prodded further. There wasn't a lot to work with but there was enough for everyone to at least have a small meal three times a day. "I'm sure a bite to eat might work wonders."

She swatted his hand away, leaving him glancing at her with an eyebrow raised. Was she really that ticklish? He couldn't imagine that was the case...Nobody was that bad! That seemed to be the case and Peyote decided to put that away for another time.

He scoffed in good humor when she joked again. Some American girls were cute. Maybe she fit into that category. Showing this shier side certainly did the trick if that was the case.

"A little bit of column A and B," he jested in return, "It's no fun if you don't keep'em guessing."

Of course, he was joking in a way. Peyote didn't want to scare her off anytime soon. It wasn't like he had managed to do that yet but who knew. A lot could change within a weeks time. He was certainly seeing that already, which how comfortable she was right now.

"Course, that could always be swapped around too," he teased lightly, "What's making you stick around, chica?"


---- [ x ] ----

He seemed alright apart from maybe a lack of sleep. Mohammed was always outwardly friendly, however, and she appreciated him for that. Some of the others, they scowled or looked at her in a way that had shown fear. Sometimes it hurt but she had to remind herself that these people saw American's as nothing more than their enemies.

"If you're sure," she answered him, pushing her hair out of her face.

She blinked, lifting her head a little again as he offered to get something to eat. She was hungry but didn't often quite like walking the halls. Kalila figured she was with him though. It might buffer some of the looks she might get as they walked.

"Oh, yea, a little," she finally answered, pushing herself up off the bed, "It'd be nice."

Maybe something in her stomach would settle her nerves a little more. Now that daylight has risen and her mind was focused on the matter at hand, her worries would soon start crawling back into her head.

Rekka scoffed in good humor at his answer. It wasn't surprising he'd say that, actually. Even knowing him for just a week, well, there were things about Peyote that Rekka had already come to know rather well and to even expect from him. Still, it was hard to tell if it was entirely a joke or not.

She blinked, not entirely surprised that he'd deflected the question back to her. Even so, it wasn't like Rekka had any kind of prepared answer for it either. Maybe Peyote hoped for that, attempting to catch her off guard and get a more honest answer out of her. Or maybe he was just being ornery some more.

Her face must have grown pink at the question, if the way her face felt warmer was any indication. Nonetheless Rekka offered a coy smile and held a finger before her lips as she answered.

"Maybe that's a secret," she answered lightly. "Maybe."

Was it just Rekka's imagination or did Peyote look equal parts amused and deflated at her answer? Maybe he'd been hoping she'd answer honestly though it was difficult to tell at the moment.


----[x]----

From the answer he received it was clear to him that Kalila didn't quite sound convinced. Perhaps he was worse looking than he thought with the little amounts of sleep he managed to get most nights. It wasn't like Mohammed spared much attention to his reflection aside from when he managed the time to shave, after all. It was possible.

She didn't seem too enthused to be walking the hallways though Mohammed couldn't quite blame her. She stuck out like a sore thumb here despite how she kept her head down. Mohammed tried not to let that bother him much however knowing she, too, was a shaman made it difficult. Somehow it was more personal knowing that...

"Then let's go see what there is left, hmm?" Mohammed offered, waiting until she'd risen to her feet to turn to the door and lead the way out.

Mohammed couldn't be sure that eating anything would help but her body needed it either way. Skipping a meal when they were often so meager anyways wasn't a good idea.

Peyote waited on an answer though, she seemed to take her time this time around. Her face had tinted pink again, pale cheeks easily colored and noticeable. Did she notice that at all? It was hard to say.

Her response left him half amused but a little disappointed. That was far from what she said last night. Rekka didn't remember that part of it though. She had no idea what she had said or done. While funny, it didn't do any favors for him.

"Oh, a secret, eh?" he noted lightly, leaning back again, "Are you trying to get even since I didn't tell you what you said last night?"

It was nice to banter this way. Peyote didn't often get to do it after all, especially so with women. Some were far too serious and couldn't take a joke. That was always quite the shame. At least Rekka seemed to be easy natured in that regard.

"Man, you'd kill a man that way," he pointed out lightly, "Secrets, those are no good."

He ignored the fact that he was keeping his own at this point. Maybe she would pick up on that right away. Rekka was smart. She probably would.


---- [ x ] ----

Kalila followed after Mohammed out the door. The hallway was just as hot though she tried to ignore it. Kalila brushed her hair out of her eyes but mostly kept her gaze downward. Stares were uncomfortable, true enough, but meeting the eyes of someone who didn't quite want her here made her feel worse.

"I don't need much," she commented afterward, "And the last time I bit into something with so much spicy, I think I tasted it the entire night."

It was a joke but it had been unpleasant. She wasn't fond of hot food in the first place. While she would choke down what she could as well, she knew that she was losing weight a little at a time. She hadn't eaten as much here, so it was natural that this would happen.

Kalila was sure he might argue on that. If she could, she'd try to eat a little more, though she couldn't make promises. Some days, she just didn't have it in her to even feel hungry.

Peyote had laid back again after her answer, looking quite content to remain like this for the time being. Truthfully, Rekka couldn't think of much that needed doing today. At this rate they'd never roll out of bed. Something in her didn't quite mind that fact, however.

She chuckled in turn at his response. It was so much more than that, a little less inclined to pursue any interest in him already in part due to heavy teasing from Kalila before all this. It didn't quite help that she was rather inexperienced as well and preferred to go along with the flow. For the most part, Rekka had a tendency to follow another's lead on matters like this, not that Peyote would have known that.

"How did you know?" she joked all the same.

As he continued Rekka propped herself up on an elbow, to gape down at him in good humor. Peyote was certainly one to talk about secrets! Still, it was a little funny that he'd try to goad an answer out of her with that line.

"Oh, you've got jokes! You're hilarious! Remind me, who was it that won't tell me what we talked about earlier, hmm?" she shot back.


----[x]----

Mohammed shot Kalila a worried look upon her answer as they headed out of the room and down the hall. Not much? If she kept up like this she wasn't going to be very healthy for long. She was lucky in that regard, having been found in the shape she had been. Most had been far worse than she.

The comment that followed after caused a smile to tug at his lips however and he did his best to hide it behind a hand, rubbing at his jaw for a moment to do so. Spicy foods certainly did manage to draw quite the expressions from her, that was for sure. Sometimes it couldn't be helped though. It all depend on what was left at the time.

"My apologies, Kalila," he began, lowering his hand when he was sure the amusement was gone. It probably wasn't, however. "I'll try to keep that in mind for you."

They were all hard off out here, yet Mohammed still did what he could to ease the burden on the others. Sometimes he wondered if the other rebels looked upon him more unfavorably now that he extended the same curtesy to an American however. If they had no one had voiced it to him yet.

"Perhaps we'll have something you prefer today," he noted, hoping that might be the case.

The early morning was, for once, a content one. Peyote didn't often lazy around on his days off. He would get up and move. Something had to be done somewhere or he was just bored enough that he needed to do move about.

With Rekka, that pattern had very much changed. He didn't mind laying around a while longer. In fact, it was rather fun now that she was comfortable with him and his banter.

He scoffed in good humor at her jest. It was obvious what she wanted to do, not that he minded. He needed a bit of banter in his life.

"I'm a mind reader," he joked in response, "it was easy to tell."

He chuckled as she peered down at him, a bit of amusement dancing on her features. Rekka certainly was in a good mood this morning. That was a nice thing to see. Some days he noticed she looked a little distant, though he never asked why.

"That doesn't count," he teased in response, reaching up to poke her forehead. A grin tugged at his lips then, "All fun and games, can't let you off that easy, chica!"


---- [ x ] ----

If he was concerned about her words, he didn't say anything just yet. Kalila knew that it was a growing need for concern. For once, she was glad to be in baggy clothing to conceal just how quickly she lost weight.

Still, she had managed to rise a little bit of a humorous reaction out of him and that made her smile a little. While he promised to be a little more careful, she had merely wanted to see him a little at ease.

"I'll hold you to that," she joked lightly in response.

It was a kind thing to do, nonetheless, when it came to so little food to go around. If she had to skip a meal if it meant a child could eat, though, she would.

"I never really got to experience much of what was outside of American food so. This has been quite the adventure when I'm not worried about burning my tongue. Nonetheless, there are some things I've had and liked, so I won't worry too much."

Rekka scoffed in amusement. Mind reader, right. If only he knew what was to come when Hao arrived... The thought was quickly pushed aside. Even if she was the brunt of his teasing this morning and had woken up in a startling situation Rekka didn't want to ruin the moment, if it could be called that. She still found it surprising how quickly they'd hit it off already and didn't quite want to dwell on that either.

"Oh, my, I'll have to keep my thoughts more guarded then," she joked right along.

When she quickly pointed out his attempt at secrecy Peyote wasn't daunted. Instead he just took to teasing her more, going so far as to even poke at her forehead as he did. Rekka had to admit that when Peyote took to grinning he didn't look too dangerous and rough and tumble as usual. That was a thought she kept to herself for the time being.

"Is that how it is then? I see your game," she said with a chuckle. Rekka moved to rest her forehead against his shoulder, perhaps a little less shyly than she would have done upon first waking up like this in his bed.

Rekka wondered if he had any plans today or not. He hadn't said anything but then he seemed like a fairly busy guy, at least when he wasn't killing time at his own bar.


----[x]----

Mohammed's smile grew a little at Kalila's joking tone of voice. It was good that she could keep up a sense of humor even in this environment. Mohammed still had no idea what sort of life she'd lived before other than working in a library but it had probably been far better than hiding in decrepit buildings in the desert. As such her moral fortitude was rather admirable.

"I'll certainly do my best to uphold that then," he noted lightly in turn.

She carried on to explain her experience with another culture's food then. It wasn't all that surprising though he was glad to hear that she didn't mind trying the food here, however simple it might've been given the circumstances, even if she didn't quite like it in the end. It was far better than outright denying eating anything.

"I'm glad to hear not all of what we eat here has been unpleasing," Mohammed answered. "Perhaps that trend might continue, if we're lucky, hmm?"

It was merely a prod at her, well aware of just how often spices were used in food around these parts of the world. Perhaps that was what made it difficult to find foods she enjoyed with what they brought in.

If anything, she seemed amused by the what he said. At least she was having a good time. Her home life didn't seem ideal but she seemed happier here. Peyote was glad that she had run into him.

He offered a soft chuckle in response before he spoke again, "You best do that, chica."

The little bit of affection wasn't so startling this time. While she might have been quite red in the fact about it previously, she seemed fine now. Then again, tat was mostly because Rekka had forgotten everything from the night before...or at least most of it.

The content was nice as well. It wasn't something that he indulged in often but with her, he found he was oddly comfortable. He had never hit it off with someone like this before. Peyote wasn't going to complain.

"How well are you going to play it?" he responded lightly, reaching up to toy with a few strands of her hair.

The usual sounds from outside filtered into the room, breaking whatever silence might have been there. He should have gotten up to make something to eat but he had no motivation to do so. He was comfortable here and intended to stay that way for a while.


---- [ x ] ----

Kalila was happy to see him smile. More times than not, there always seemed to be a frown etched on his features. She couldn't quite blame him, given everything that was going on. Even so, she wished to see that smile more often.

She offered a short chuckle in response, nothing too loud. The last thing she wanted to do was offend someone near by. A look or two could be rather unnerving and she could only wonder what was going through those people's minds when they saw her, much less laughing with someone like them.

"Not at all," she told him, "Could have been worse but I'm not picky if it keeps me going."

It wasn't like she was eating much as it was but she tried. Kalila had no intentions of starving herself, fighting against bad nerves just to get something into her stomach. Weight might have been lost but it all could have been worse.

"I certainly hope so, luck, I mean," she joked in return, her tone a little light, "Eating hasn't killed me yet so I'm going to put that as a plus and find something that doesn't burn my mouth."

It was a little funny to think that someone like Peyote enjoyed lounging around like this, cuddling with someone. Maybe there was a lot about him still hidden away, god only knew that only a week couldn't expose all of a person to another. Still, she'd be lying if she said she didn't get along with him now and wanted to know more.

Despite all that she thanked her lucky stars that Kalila wasn't here to witness this. Rekka would have never lived it down if that was the case.

He shifted, moving to fuss with her hair, a pleasant thing she enjoyed quite a bit. Rekka's smile remained hidden from him for the moment, however a pleased hum escaped her in turn. This felt familiar though Rekka didn't bother to wonder why, merely enjoying the feeling of someone playing with her hair. It'd been too long since anyone last had.

"You'll just have to wait and see, won't you?" she shot back.

Though the conversation lulled by brief moments of silence Rekka didn't mind. More so she could hear some of the city life outside, muffled by the walls and windows. It was certainly comfortable like this. Who would have known this would have become ideal like this?


----[x]----

Kalila certainly had a good head about her shoulders. This was something Mohammed found himself thinking and appreciating the more they spoke to one another. Despite the situation she wasn't one to rush to conclusions and accusations. It was nice, knowing that she tried to understand, even if somethings were above her comprehension if only due to cultural differences.

"I'm glad you see things that way, if I'm honest," Mohammed admitted. "It's all we can do here sometimes."

He spared a nod along to her words as they reached the small area they called a kitchen. It was hardly a proper one but it worked for their purposes. It was large enough to keep their food stores here as well so Mohammed couldn't complain too much.

He gestured for Kalila to come closer to the stocks of food. Before hand he'd always just picked something for her, not knowing what she might prefer. Perhaps today it would be best to let her choose herself. She seemed to eat very little anyways, passing up some of her portions for the injured, ill or the few children among their number here. Some brought whole families with them to fight after all.

"If you see anything you'd prefer, please, let me know," he offered.

Rekka seemed content where she lay and he wouldn't make her move if she didn't want to. He toyed with her hair carefully, looking at nothing in particular at the time. A short chuckle left him as she spoke again, a playful but lax tone to her voice.

The noises outside were hardly a bother. He was far too used to them at this point to really pay them much mind. Rekka seemed to have gotten used to them too.

Time passed slowly before Peyote heaved a sigh, realizing it was probably getting a little late. Neither of them had even eaten and Rekka was bound to be hungry at this point. Still, he didn't quite want to move.

"I guess someone has to make breakfast," he brought up, yet made no effort to move, "...do you cook?"

Maybe that was stretching it. Between the two, they only ate simple things throughout the week. It was a little funny, actually, two grown people opting out for whatever they could get at the time. Maybe they just had more in common than he had originally thought.

"Unless you're the type to skip breakfast, chica. But you're so scrawny too, man, probably best to make sure you eat something!"

She couldn't lie, he'd done a lot to boost her mood from last night. That had been enough to encourage her things would eventually be alright. At least, that was a hope that she had tucked away into he back of her mind.

"Well, so far I've you to thank for most of that point of view," she told him, "Mato too. If I was out here on my own or without someone, I probably wouldn't have cared what happened to me."

It was hard to admit but knowing she probably didn't have a family to return to much less anything else devastated her. Kalila was at least attached to Mohammed and in that regard, she kept herself going.

The kitchen was something of a shabby one but she didn't complain about it. A lot of this place was in disrepair. Nothing could be done, after all. Mohammed was already motioning for her to pick something, no doubt prepared to cook it himself.

She asked for his opinion on something things, mostly working on what wasn't too hot for her. Kalila had a bad habit of smelling things when she wanted to know what they would taste like but regretted the action when she picked up a particular spicy, nearly gagging in response. She swiped at her nose, as if offended before handing it back to Mohammed.

"Jesus Christ, not that," she quickly said, as she tried to repress coughing.

The way he threaded his fingers through her hair again and again seemed almost careful, measured even. Rekka didn't think too much on it, content as they were. It was easy to put off rolling out of bed and facing the day when she was this warm in the morning as well. But that warmth felt more than just a superficial thing, as if it were buried in her as well.

For a good while they remained like that, in silence. Whatever was on Peyote's mind was kept to himself for the time being though Rekka didn't mind. She wouldn't go prying anyways, finding it to be too much of a hassle most days. If he wanted to share he would.

Eventually Peyote sighed, quickly followed by the mention of breakfast. Even more amusing was the question that came after. She chuckled, shaking her head though she hadn't lifted it from Peyote's shoulder yet.

"I usually stick to microwaving or something I can leave on the stovetop unattended for a few minutes," she answered with a chuckle.

She pushed herself up then as Peyote commented on her slight frame. Keeping weight had always been difficult for her, even if she ate as much as she could. Still, comments like these were common for her.

"I don't like to cook, and you don't seem like you do either," she pointed out. "So, what do you propose, hmm?"


----[x]----

Mohammed waved a hand dismissively at Kalila's comment. Surely he had little to do with it, he was merely doing what he thought was best. What more could he do with this life? It seemed like it must have been fated for him to protect those who couldn't do so for themselves after all. Kalila was no different despite her heritage.

Despite all that, Mohammed answered with "I'm glad to know it helped some."

He watched, curious as Kalila took to inspecting the food stores. She would pick something up, turning it this way and that and, on occasion, would even take the time to sniff at it. This was a most curious thing to behold and Mohammed could only watch silently as she did this time and again.

It was startling when she suddenly jerked away from the food she sniffed currently, eyes watering as she thrust the packaging away and towards Mohammed. He took it delicately, eyebrow raised even as amusement danced in his eyes. Kalila's face had turned red even! It was hard to conceal the chuckle and he found he failed at that this time, the sound filling the silence that followed her coughing and gagging.

"It can't have been that bad! Perhaps Americans just don't partake in spices enough to tolerate it," he joked.

Cooking for the both of them was certainly out if that's what she had a tendency to stick with. Then again, he was no better, often just grabbing something on the go. He realized he probably should be investing in better food for the both of them.

"You sound just as lazy as I am," he mentioned, a lax tone in his voice, "But I never put that much effort into things like that anyways."

So they needed to think of something to do to eat. Did he have anything in the fridge? He really couldn't remember if he did or not. It paid to keep track of things and he was never particularly good in that bit...

"Well, chica, we could always just find a place to eat," he suggested after a moment, "I really don't know if I have anything in the house anyways. Might need to fix that soon."

That'd be an errand they could probably run today when they had the chance to. Doing that, Rekka might be able to pick out something she fancied as well.

Kalila continued rubbing her nose as if that would help make the burn go away. It didn't and her nostrils hurt. It was amazing that a spicy could even do that to a person who wasn't used to it!

Mohammed certainly took amusement in that, chuckling as he mentioned American's not being used to such things. He wasn't wrong, at least for most American's. Spicy wasn't something often used in food unless a person particularly liked it.

"Some do but not me," she answered, trying not to cough again, "God, you could kill someone with a spice like that!"

Kalila would have nothing to do with it. Even the most mild spice out there, she could taste. Most had commented on her having a 'sensitive tongue' if that was the case. At this point, she believed it.

"I couldn't have spicy in anything, even the mildest stuff. I could always taste it," she added, "I only smelled that stuff and I think I can taste it, Jesus."

Still, she couldn't help but smile in amusement. That was a pretty dumb thing to do but at least she knew better now.
