Zulema knew she would miss Epoch had she ever left, she smiled at his mention of it. A small pang of anxiety struck at his question, she wanted to seem anything but boring to Jack. She settled as she sorted through what she had done lately. Her tongue clicked as she decided.

❝You know the new guy?❞ Zulema responded to his prod, ❝Ike?❞

❝He went over some battle training with us. It was pretty cool, I went against Phox. Wish you were there though, would've been way more fun.❞

She looked to the ground as she thought over what else to say. What actually fun things had she even done here?
