Nex walked slowly around the maze of a garden. She was careful not to mess up any of the flowerbeds. She didn't need two people mad at her. She soon came up on large hedges. She reached out and softly rested her hand on the outer layer. She starting walking down the hedge with her hand lightly dragging down the leaves. Suddenly she stopped, a noise catching her attention. It came from somewhere very near her on the hedges, a rustling of leaves. She started trailing the hedges, but nobody was there. Where did that sound come from? She started scaling the hedges once more, with her hand back on the leaves, pushing harder now. She scaled one side, no luck. She came around the other side and saw a section of the hedge was covered in a rose vine. She ran her hand lightly down the vine, checking for thorns. When she was satisfied, she examined the roses, smiling at how pretty they made the hedge look.<br/><br/>Then, she squinted her eyes, trying to look closer. What...what was that? There was a little spot behind the vines, where it looked like the hedge wasn't behind the vine. She reached towards it and moved it aside and smiled even bigger. It was an opening to what looked like a small clearing. She moved a big section of the vines and quietly moved through the little hole in the hedge. She turned and looked at the center of the clearing to find Duo in what looked like combat training. She stayed silent, watching him for a few seconds. He flipped through the air, landing punches and kicks on invisible enemies. He looked so focused, and she wasn't sure if he knew she was there.<span style="font-style: italic">He had to have heard me. I wasn't exactly being my quietest.</span><br/><br/>She hesitated a few second longer while she decided what to say. What was she supposed to say? He didn't seem very happy. So, she settled with something simple. "Nice hiding place." Her voice was silky, and her blue eyes were soft.
