She nodded getting up, ready for the travel. "Yeah I'm ready."

Cold, pinkish light seeped through Alister’s eyelids, and he knew it was the break of dawn. He was used to waking up at this time; he always had back at the prison.
He lay still for a few moments. He was so warm, he didn’t want to leave it. He heard soft breaths and felt someone lying next to him. Weird. Who…?
His eyes fluttered open, and he remembered. Evan was snuggled next to him. He was in Evan’s room. Alister’s fluffy head rested between the pillow and Evan’s chest. After a bit of shock at where he was, memories from the previous night came floating back. He got a little misty-eyed for a moment. He couldn’t hear anything or anyone, so he decided to stay where it was warm for a moment longer.
Gingerly, he pushed on Evan’s shoulder, murmuring, “Um, Evan? Are you awake?” His words were slurred with sleep.

He was sleeping peacefully for a while until he was woken up, not by anything he just stirred slightly, they would probably have been yelling at him by now in the prison, but he had to remind himself he wasn't in the prison as he glanced down at a sleeping, adorable Alister. He noticed Alister asleep and tried to go back to sleep, before a few minutes later Alister tapped on his shoulder and he smiled slightly opening his eyes. "Hey."

Alister smiled back, watching the light filter into Evan's eyes like shards of copper. He sighed with a kind of contentment he couldn't remember feeling in a long time. Then he murmured, "Guess who doesn't have to be in a wheelchair today?"

"Me?" He asked with a bit of a grin, he was glad, very glad to be out of a wheelchair. You could see it in his eyes as he was happy. He nuzzled into Alister during his happiness but then realized the nuzzle and blushed a little bit in embarrassment. "Ah- sorry-"

His eyes widened with surprise for a moment, but then he giggled, blushing as well. "It's alright. Are you hungry?"
He tried to suppress the feeling of anxiety that sometimes came when he wasn't immediately up and ready to work. For so long it was work, work, work, at least get on the alien's good side so you'll be able to rise through the ranks. The rest he knew he should be taking right now felt unnatural to him.
But Evan's warmth kept him from going completely restless and getting out of bed. Still, he felt he had to satisfy the feeling.

"Thanks, I'm actually a little bit hungry. you?" he blushes a bit at the giggling, cuddling a bit close to Alister for his warmth, though embarrassed at it.
"If you want we could go check for some food, but that's up to you." he smiled at him.

"Umm…" he thought for a moment. "I don't know, to be honest. I guess I'd be fine with eating something, but I'm not usually hungry in the mornings."
But Evan being hungry was enough for him. He stayed in the warm bed for a few moments, rhythmically twitching his leg as if to keep track of time. Then he slid out of the covers and stood. He smoothed down his shorts, which had wrinkled up his thighs during the night, saying, "I know Noel will need to eat though, let's go check on her." He looked up. "Oh, and Evan?"

"Well have you ever given the thought the reason you aren't hungry in the mornings is because you don't eat in the morning?" He asked him trying to yawn away the sleep, even though that would hardly work. He had a cat type yawn, stretching out as alister left the bed and smoothed out his shorts. He got out of the bed, and was a bit embaresed that well, he was shirtless.
"yes?" He looked at him when he heard the oh evan

He chuckled. "Mmmmaybe," he hummed. He couldn't help but smile as he watched Evan yawn. It faltered though as Evan got out of bed, red blooming on his cheeks at the sight of him shirtless. He hadn't really registered that last night due to the emotion and darkness. Alister managed to get his expression in order, stuttering a bit before he said, "Thanks."
He combed his wild hair with his fingers in a futile attempt to tame it. His eyes held small shards of silver, but they were warm and dazed from sleep as they gazed upon the other boy. Then he giggled. "…It's… it's nice to see you standing up on your own."

Evan looked at Alister and noticed the red blushing on his cheeks and looked away also having red blush on his cheeks, Alister seeing him shirtless. "your welcome." He smiled, managing to keep a stutter out of his sentence. He turned to look at Alister when he giggled.
"It's nice to stand up on my own." He chuckled a bit.

"Yeah," he murmured. He managed to just keep his eyes on the bed. "I'm going to go change… then I'll check on Noel. Care to join me?"
He bounced on the balls of his feet, trying to wake his body up. He extended his arms out above his head to stretch absentmindedly.

"Yeah," he murmured. He managed to just keep his eyes on the bed. "I'm going to go change… then I'll check on Noel. Care to join me?"
He bounced on the balls of his feet, trying to wake his body up. He extended his arms out above his head to stretch absentmindedly.

He looked away before looking back at alias yet putting a hand on his neck, blushing a bit in embarssnent.
"yeah, just let me get a shirt on." He moved grabbing his shirt from last night and putting it on.

Seeing Evan blush made him blush as well, but he snickered. "Okay then, haha."
The sun could be partially seen out the window and the light in the room had turned golden, making Alister's eyes look pale yellow and Evan's a rich gold. Alister couldn't help but stare for a moment before turning and leaving the room to change.
It took him no time at all to get on his white sentinel's shirt and some old brown trousers Noel had lent to him. Soon he was back in Evan's room. "Ready?" he asked casually.

Evan nodded , he couldn't find his shirt from last night and only found a muscle tee(sleeveless) one of the buffer people in the rebellion had lended him but he had never worn before, it surprisingly fighting well, he wasn't too bad himself but he would never boast about it. They were honestly a bit rare and he had insisted they take it but they insisted he take it and he could say no.
"Yeah I'm ready."

Alister gave him a smile, then walked out and into Noel's room, just across the hall and one door down. He made sure to be quiet as he did so.
Noel looked to be still asleep. She was curled up in the blankets, only the top half of her face peeking out. Her mahogany hair was draped loosely around her head. Alister walked up to the bed and slid his arm around her shoulders.
"Elll," he murmured. "You awake? Hungry?"
His sister stirred. "Hmm?"
