Even after all the excitement and dancing Pruna woke up a few hours after she went to bed, alert and ready. She sighed because here there were no guardians waiting for her to turn up to lessons, and she got into trouble if she left the suit this late at night. So there was nothing to do but lie in bed and try and go back to sleep.

Her thoughts wouldn't be quiet though as she thought about the dancing and everything she had learned, and how she was Sandy's friend now. She was also thinking about what Wesker had said, and how she had had parents once because everyone did.

She frowned, she wondered if Sandy knew that. She sat up and making her decision padded out of her room, and across the hall into Sandy's.

"Do you be being awake?"

She hugged back just as hard. Maybe this having a girlfriend stuff was pretty great after all.

"How many weapons do you know how to use?" She hadn't really seen the full extant of Pruna's abilities yet and as much as she hated to admit it...she kind of liked the idea of fighting and winning instead of running and hiding every day.

It was easy to think these things in the dark safe in her bed.

"I can be using a dagger and Hyperion did be teaching me to be throwing them. I do be knowing how to be using a sword sort of but they do be being too big, and Maximus did be teaching me how to be making a spear short enough so I could be using it." She grinned, "But mostly I do be knowing how to be killing without fighting."

"Like with poison." Sandy reasoned since they had discussed the matter before. "You know alot about like...what plants are poisonous?"

"How many different ways are there to kill someone without a fight?" She felt stupid for asking but it was a thought that hadn't crossed her mind before. For good reason.

Pruna nodded, "Yes I can be teaching you that too." Though the actual plants in the wilderness are a bit harder, and don't ask her to try and identify mushrooms, it will end in disaster.

"There do be being lots of ways, poison do only be one. There do be places on the body that if you do be hitting they can no even be moving. Or places where if you can be stabbing them they will be dying before they do even be realising they have been being attacked."

Sandy listened with a growing knot in her stomach. Could she really do those sorts of things?

She was gonna have to if she wanted to stay with Pruna wasn't she?

"I'll do my best to learn everything you can teach me. Then we really will win. And after that..." Well she really didn't know.

"I guess we mentor the others?"

[knifewithnoname]

Pruna shook her head, "And after that we do be going home." She said with a grin, "And you do be coming with me." Of course there was the whole defeating the capitol, working out how to get home and managing to do so as well but Pruna was aware of the fact they were being watched and the cuffs around both their wrists.

Sandy reaffirmed the hug letting their cheeks brush together in the closeness.

"Best friends forever. We'll go home together and keep being amazing."

[knifewithnoname]

"Exactly." She flopped back down onto the pillows, pulling Sandy with her. "Now you do be going to sleep and there will be being no nightmares because I will be tearing them out of your head and destroying them."

The most reassuring bedtime routine.

Sandy pressed close and smiled letting her eyes close with some level of assurance she'd actually get to sleep soon.

"Best, girlfriend, ever." She mumbled as the darkness closed in on them.

Her last thoughts as sleep claimed her were unfortunate but meant well.

I wonder if I'll still be afraid of the dark when I serve the god of chaos.

Pruna just grinned and curled up next to Sandy, waiting until the other girls breathing steadied into a sleeping rhythm before closing her eyes and sleeping herself, feeling warm and happy.
