The fog in your brain clears up slowly but surely and you regain consciousness. You open your eyes to see the blinding lights, contrasting the shadow of a man looking over you.
The man says, “Picaro Calavera, you have died.”
You are too confused to say anything, luckily a familiar voice answers for you. “Not cool, Fox.”
“Come on Sun, I’m just messing with him a little!” Your eyes adapt to the lights in Shade’s infirmary, allowing you to see the figure’s true form, another teen. “Did you sleep well? Hi I’m Fox Alistair.”
You use your elbows as support to sit up. “Hey… How long was I out?”
“Not much,” Sun says, “a couple of hours.”
“Still didn’t stop Coco from freaking out and demanding we look over you. The fact I was put on the lookout is hilarious in my opinion.”
You eye Fox warily. “How do you know Coco?”
“We are part of her team.”
“Yeah dude, team-!” Sun gets interrupted by a door slamming open.
“He’s awake?!” Coco demands an answer.
“No,” Fox flatly answers.
Coco looks at you then directs her eyes back to Fox. “He’s literally sitting up! I told you to call us if he so much as moves!”
Fox makes a surprised face and begins moving his arms, palms extended as if looking for something, he settles them in your face. “Oh Brothers, he’s awake! I’m so sorry, I didn’t see him wake up, I swear!”
Coco wanted to chastise him further, but stopped dead in her tracks. “You- I’m so sorry I-!”
“He’s messing with you, Valey Lessi.” The girl that was sitting at the table also comes to the room, carrying a plastic bag. “We heard them talking with him on the way. Sandwiches.” She lifts the plastic bag before throwing one to each person in the room. You couldn’t quite catch yours and it falls on your lap, luckily it was tightly wrapped in paper.
“And you stop calling me that, Octavia! It’s very offensive!”
“<span class="mu-i">You</span> need to learn to take a joke, this ain’t Vale.”
The girls descended into an argument and by the way the boys groaned, this seems like a common occurrence.
You pay it no mind, instead choosing to voraciously devour your sandwich. You passed out before you could even take a bite out of the feast, so this is the first food you’ve eaten since early morning.
Finishing your meal, the girls also finished their fight, all four members of Coco’s team help you out of the infirmary.
“You missed the luxurious tour of the facility, Weiss Schnee was here in a bunny suit showing us around with champagne and shit,” Fox says.
“Dude, isn’t she like fourteen?” Sun makes a concerned expression towards him.
“How should I know? The only thing I know about her it’s her voice and she sure as hell don’t sound like a little girl.”
“All her songs are about how mean her daddy is, she’s obviously underaged,” Coco says.
“Eh, fourteen isn’t that young.”
“Octavia!”
