Meeting

Alex returned home after he was sure that Alisa was safe. Once he got home he ate and went to rest. 

...

The following day when Alex was training his body by doing one-finger push-ups his mind was in a total mess. He started reflecting on what had happened in the past four days. This was the first time he had hesitated in a mission, no this was the first time he had hesitated in his entire life, and he did it not only once but more than twice. He couldn't comprehend what he was feeling and why he was being like this.

Alex intensified his training to distract himself from his current emotional turmoil. So many things had happened in the span of a few days, he had gained not only one friend but three of them. Friends... The feelings he had when he thought of the word were a bit... bubbly? Those were the only words he could think of that could describe his current feelings.
