With Ava free, Nick wandered over to the bed, falling on to it without a care. He simply laid there, letting his body cool off as Ava scampered off to the bathroom. He smirked a little bit at that fact, finding it funny that Ava wanted to call it quits when she wanted to not be able to walk. But, Nick didn't push it, even when Ava came back and curled up in bed. Nick pulled her close and eventually fell asleep as well. When the morning came, Nick woke a little before the alarm, intending to use the shower himself. Did not want to have the smell of sex on him while in front of the recruits.<br/><br/>When Nick emerged from the shower, the smell of breakfast tempted his nose. Quickly dressing in military fatigue style pants and a shirt very reminiscent of the one he wore when he first trained the recruits, Nick sauntered down the stairs and to the kitchen. Flicking on one of the smaller screens on the counter, he began to read through the debriefings of the night before as Ava cooked. He was in no hurry. He always set the alarm for an hour before he was supposed to be down there. When Ava finished cooking, Nick took his plate, planting a small kiss on Ava's head as he did so, before wandering over to the table.<br/><br/>"Are you ready?" Nick asked casually, scooping up some eggs. "This'll be different than what you... are, I guess." Nick left that thought and that question in the air for a bit, taking a few moments to enjoy the breakfast that Ava had prepared for them. However, he added something else to his statement, knowing it was a bit risky to bring up. "Somewhere between your current mindset and the mindset forced on you in Alder Rush would actually help, I think. What I want from you... it's different than muggers you'll never see again, but these are people you will have working with and eventually under you. Viciousness is needed to help mold them into proper members of the thirteenth, but we don't want to hurt the ones who are honest and loyal. Does that make sense?"
