<div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>After That Day</strong></span></div><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/Rt2ECxS.gif)</div><strong>NAME:</strong>Kevin Finch<br/><strong>DAY:</strong>June 12th, 2019, 10:00PM<br/><strong>LOCATION:</strong>SOPHE Medical Ward<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong>Mallory<br/><strong>EXTRA:</strong>Two Nights Since That Day<br/><strong>WEARING:</strong>Camos<br/><hr/><br/>"Thanks.  I mean... I hope I can do well. I wouldn't want to disappoint people." Kevin's parents were keen on his joining and serving SOPHE, following in the family footsteps as it were. Of course, they hadn't been very specific on what went on here, not even mentioning their workplace by name, referring to it as "Work." But he certainly knew much more about what they did at a young age, as they endeavored to pass on their largely martial-based skills on to him at a decidedly early age. And despite his current misgivings regarding all the secrets that he was beginning to learn that they kept from him, he still wanted to do well by his family. And not only them.<br/><br/>"And God I'm sorry, I mean you deserve better than that Mal." It had been a grueling two days of tests and training for him too - but he wasn't stuck in a hospital bed. He could have also added that he didn't lose family, but in a lot of ways, losing Mallory was worse. Which meant finding her alive was that much better. The idea that this might have been the very point of the exercise did not so much as cross his mind. "So... um... yeah... I can stay."<br/><br/>It said a lot that Mallory offered him space in the bed. It said more that Kevin accepted. And it said still more that the idea that neither of them thought that this might be inappropriate or sexual in any way said even more. At any rate, he'd stay on his side of the bed, she'd stay on hers, and that would be the end of it. "Just try and sleep Mallory. I think you need the rest, OK?"
