Eve came out after taking a tray of food to her house and headed up to the training area. When she saw Aiolia and even Elek, she grinned. "Well, it looks like your leaders want to play." She didn't dare group herself into the mass of underlings. She was a hired hand, a different sect of worker than the rest of the rebellion. She was temporary and she acted a such.

"Boys and girls, you've got as long as it takes to bring these two to their knees. Two-to-one. Get in line and start." She threw her hand up and walked a bit further back to what. Her students, likely reluctant, were now able to take out their frustration on their leaders- and that is exactly what Eve wanted.

Alice had woken up a few times throughout the day, wondering where Ryan was. She'd asked, quite a few times, or tried to, to be taken to Ryan during his surgery and even after. But no one listened to her or understood her, they usually told her to quiet down and get more rest, so she did.

She'd had strange dreams of bones and muscles, tendons and nerves with metals invading their homelands. She didn't know what it meant but she remembered touching on them and feeling them, drawing her hands away almost immediately when she felt a resemblance to Ryan....

She'd come to terms with not being able to see him that day, and even the night, and continued sleeping. However, she thought herself awake and unable to control herself outside of her subconscious desires. Her figure walked through the halls and found Ryan on instinct, going into his room and watching him sleep. She approached the side of his bed and sat beside him, looking over his arm and exhausted features.

Her hand lay on the cold metal and moved up to his shoulder. He felt warm and pulsating with life, which she found alarming considering the metal wasn't originally a part of him. When his eyes jarred open, she smiled at him and asked, "How are you feeling?" Her voice was calming and made the walls soften with a warmer light similar to that of the sign. It would be a rare sight, if any, to see sunlight while down in this place.
