"That's good. Maybe a bit rushed, but that's good." Nick smirked and held up his hand, gesturing to his middle, ring, and pinkie finger on the right hand as he traced out a path on them. "On my actual hands, I had a instructor break those fingers by stepping on them," Nick said. "Had a nasty scar back when I had my actual arms." With Ava now beelining towards the fridge, Nick returned to his computer work, making sure the delayed jumper was ready to go once Ava finished with her impromptu meal. He stood and listened to Ava rant about Josh, it was actually pretty funny. "You know, Josh was slated to get my current spot in front of me," Nick said casually. "Him and I were thick as thieves when he was still enlisted. But he just didn't want to lead, so when it was offered commander, he turned it down and I served him a pension so he could go out and buy up where you just sent... And that slop was a survival meal, name calling is a good way to test and see if a trainee can be rattled easy, oh, and he doesn't snore. He probably had a recording playing just to make it a bit tougher on you."<br/><br/>Nick held a shit-eaten grin on his face as he said all this, keeping himself from busting out laughing at the unorthodox but effective way Josh went about putting Ava through a crash course. Nick was once again almost sad that Josh chose to leave the Kingdom, but it was his decision and Nick wasn't going to stop him. Either way, he let Ava keep that modicum of pride from getting Josh to soften up. Nick's guess was that he didnt feel one way or another about Ava if one dropped the training bit of it. But either way, at Ava's question, Nick spoke. "Just getting the stuff down into the jumper in about an hour or so. We leave as soon as everything is in place on the jumper," he said. "So you have enough time to eat, but I wouldn't recommend a 'nap'. It's common for naps to turn into twenty three hour sleeps after training like that, and I dont think a couch or a bed would help matters if I had to wake you up."
