Car Games For a Long Ride

The next day Avalon and Antonio stood outside with their suitcases in front of the vehicle that was to take them to the s.o.f units camp. Avalon had a case on her back that held a few different things one being her custom swords. "Put your things in the back then get in." Maj McCarty told them they nodded and went and put their things in the back. After the two suitcases were placed in Avalon placed the swords on top of the swords. The two then went to the back of the vehicle and seat next to each other.

Lukas sat in the driver's seat and glanced over at Avalon who was smiling at Antonio who lightly hit her on the top of her head. "Your smiling like an idiot." Antonio huffed.

Avalon pouted slightly, "well I finally get to do something. I was bored as hell just waiting for time to pass by in the 13th." Roan replied with a glance before flashing her teeth. "You have to admit you were also getting bored. You'd jumped at any chance to fix something."

"It wasn't that bad."

"You took apart the toaster then put it back together again twice. You were bored out of your mind." Roan huffed poking him in the middle of his forehead with a big smirk.

"Okay, I might have been a little bored."

"You really should've gotten used to it. Cause when things calm down your wife's gonna murder you, if you take apart the household electronics out of pure boredom." Roan laughed with a glint in her eyes.

"Yeah yeah. I got the shop I'll be good."

"Alright but don't come crying to me when she gets mad at ya'!"

It was easy to see that the two of them had a fairly close relationship. "I thought the two of you didn't know each other?"

"Ah, actually we do. We went to the same high school." Antonio replied knowing that if he said a childhood friend it might cause other issues since Avalon was currently Roan Liman, a young master of the Liman household going to Bridni would be unlikely at a young age. Though that was exactly what happened to Shane.

"I see."

As the jeep began to move Antonio and Avalon begun to play some games. These were games that Avalon learned as a child in the other world one being the game of chopsticks (hand game) a game she played a lot in the past. She taught Antonio the game along the way before playing.

"Hey what did you just-?"

"It's called splitting the difference. You split the number of one hand to the other by half."

"You can't just add rules."

"I didn't just add a rule. I just forgot to tell you about this one."

"You cheat."

"It's not cheating just advanced play." Roan huffed with a smirk. "If you are mad we can play something else to pass the time."

"What?"

"Ah, eye spy."

"Seriously?"

"We are kinda limited right now in the game's I know we could play in a car. The alphabet one might not be that good cause there are limited signs and cars." Roan muttered crossing 'his' arms. 'Plus I might accidentally start playing with the English alphabet since that's the language I learned the game in.' Avalon thought tilting her head.

Antonio just sighed and looked at Avalon with a raised eyebrow. "What else?"

"Aaah… thumb war would probably work in a car. Oh, rock paper scissors too."

"I have a feeling it's not a normal game of rock paper scissors."

"For punishment normally the loser gets slapped."

"Are you a masochist?"

"Where the hell did you get that conclusion?! I'm not gonna try and lose." Roan growled glaring at Antonio. '"Besides I'd consider myself to be more of a sadist if anything."' 'he' muttered in french.

"2Lt Liman, you can speak french?"

"Ah yes… though I'm fluent in 6 languages. French is just one of them."

"You have such a skill… why isn't it being used?"

"… I wasn't in the 13th unit because of a lack of skill or ability. I'll just leave you with that." Roan replied not wanting to tell her 'life story' to someone she hardly knows.

Lukas found Ava's and Antonio's antics as they sat in the back fairly amusing though not something suited for 2 people that were a part of the army. Though slightly acting like children they stoped the moment that Maj McCarty was getting annoyed and act like they did nothing wrong like it was some kind of game in itself.

Then they would occasionally jip and jab one another in a friendly way you might think of them as kids excited to go to an amusement park or something similar.

After sometime Avalon and Antonio quieted down and just looked out the window. Eventually, Avalon closed her eyes and begun to think back to the past. Back when things were much different for her, to the time in the other world. When she was jolted back to reality. "We are almost there." Antonio muttered. Avalon gave a slight nod as she sat up running her hand through her hair. "You alright you look a little pale?" He asked in a low voice.

"Yeah, I'm fine… just thinking about some… stuff." Roan muttered looking over at the window. She wore a solum expression as she said this but kept quiet not expanding on the thought or anything, her eyes were held a tired and sad look one which Antonio was more than familiar with at this point. She brought up her left leg to her chest resting her chin on her knee as she lightly tapped her left shoe feeling the slight vibrations that travelled through the shoe.

Eventually, the jeep stopped as they arrived at the base camp. It was about 4 hours away from the capital city Sarith of the Niahurii country in the central district. The central district was a higher living standard the rich and wealthy lived here. The district base of the military was not far from the capital only about an hour away. Many high ranking government official families and high ranking military family live in the city of Sarith. The city people of Sarith blithely unaware of the state of the country, and the plight that has hit the Keyne's district.

Avalon let out a sigh before slapping her face taking a deep breath. "Alright, nows not the time for that." Roan muttered her eyes clearing becoming sharp and focused as a slight smile appeared on her face as she got up and out of the vehicle. There was a group of 5 people already present in the camp that had bags like Antonio and Avalon.

Antonio and Avalon grabbed their things from the back before going over and joining the other 5 people. Avalon wore the slightly large case across her back as she held her bag and placed it down. "So who are you?" A man with brown hair asked. Avalon glanced over the man and realized that he was a Captain (Capt) from the 16th unit.

"I am Lt Antonio Padilla from the 13th unit."

"2Lt Roan Liman 13th unit."

'7 people in total the highest rank is a Major, lowest is 2nd Lieutenant which is me. Two people from the 3rd unit, one from the 5th, another from the 20th, and one from the 16th. The 3rd unit is known for strength, the 5th is for sharpshooting, the 16th is best known for its tactics, and the 20th is known for their skill in hiding with little trace so stealth.' Avalon analyzed the others. 'If Antonio and I were half of the state we were before coming the 13th unit we can excel against all of them. But we can't expect our full potential… not matter how much it annoys me.' She thought as she rubbed her right wrist slightly.
