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?"

He followed after Alister, staying behind him when he was shaking her gently awake, he leaned against the wall with a soft smile. "morning Noel."

There was a slow hiss of breath as the blankets shifted and Noel's eyes fluttered open. "Hey guys," she said sleepily. Her gaze drifted to her brother, and a smile spread across her face. Alister returned it and leaned in for a hug. After they separated, Noel sat up, her hair cascading in waves past her shoulders.
"Nice to see you without a wheelchair, Evan," she murmured. "And yeah, I'm hungry. Just let me get dressed and we can go downstairs. Remember, we have a rescue mission to prepare for."
Alister blinked. He had completely forgotten about that. Suddenly he was rubbing his arms out of nervousness. "Alright."
Noel slid out of bed and stretched, her normal arms reaching up and her darker arms going out. Alister stood up and headed out the door, motioning for Evan to follow.

"yeah, it feels great to be able to walk on my own." He smiles at noel, replying back to her comment. He just stood and listened to the rest, ah, a rescue mission, he had almost forgot during his time with Alister.
He hoped that malachi was okay.
He followed Alister out.

After waiting a few minutes, Noel came out in cargo pants and a poncho, and her hair was tied up in a braid again. She gave them a tired smile, and together they went downstaires.
Arabelle, Bimala, Duchess, and a few others were waiting in the main area. It was mostly quiet, but the three women were muttering together at one table. Duchess glanced over. Her dark blue hair was down and messy, like she'd forgotten to brush it.
"Hey kiddos," she said, a hint of a smirk on her face. "Don't die out there, yeah?"
"We're perfectly capable of not dying," Noel replied, putting a hand on her hips.
Duchess laughed dryly. "I like you, kid."
A small smile grew on Arabelle's face, but then it faded. She stood. "Storm." she nodded to the two siblings. "Arden." she nodded to Evan. "The other search party will be here any minute. When they get here, there will be some things to discuss. But in the meantime, go get yourselves some breakfast."
She seemed more relaxed than she had last night. She gestured to the meal table near the kitchen, where there were plates of sausage and cups of water.
"You got word from them?" Noel asked.
She nodded, then gestured to the table again. Noel chuckled and went over. Alister waved at the women and followed.
Bimala looked up from her cup of tea. "Oh, Evan, after you eat, I want to take your bandages off. You might reopen your wounds on this mission, but we can be certain that it won't be because you moved around too much."

He nodded along to what they were saying listening as intently as he could, keeping his hands at his side even though he wanted to fidget with them, he smiled softly relaxing a bit at the chuckle and just all around lightness of the mood, "Yes ma'am." He smiled at Bimala, chuckling even a bit. He followed the twins into the eating area making sure to grab breakfast and sit down with twins, eating his food with a soft smile on his face.
