Fired Up Again...

Sandra and Katie found Kyle leaning against the wall adjacent to the main gate, humming to himself with his arms crossed in a tune Sandra could have sworn were familiar.

The boy didn't complain about anything at all even when Katie felt some of the pain he was feeling from the occasional torture that served as his punishment. In fact, he smiled when they approached him, "How are you doing?" Katie asked.

"Of course, he's not doing well, Katie. You don't have to ask him that question," Sandra cut him off before he could speak. Katie, however, didn't take it as an answer and remained silent waiting for Kyle to speak up.

"I'm getting used to it. The wounds heal faster. I'll be fine," he replied humbly with a slight bow.

Sandra raised her hand against the boy and watched him flinch, "Oh come on, Kyle. I'm only teasing you. You make it too easy." The new hunter grumbled, "Would the two of you lighten up already?"
