She had always been a naturally early riser, driven to start early on the road to success and carry her own weight. Those who slept in, missed out, and those who didn't contribute, didn't eat. She liked eating. So rolling out of her bunk, the Amazon left the cabin to go for the short routine run she used to help her wake fully. Her habit of rising early was only one of the small clues as to why she had risen through the ranks of her peers though it didn't necessarily make her a morning person. As such she didn't wake any one else or extend any invitations to those who were already stirring. She enjoyed the peace of the morning and counted this ritual as her sacred time away from the excessively aggressive energy generated by her half siblings. Don't get her wrong, she loved her cabin mates but sometimes... well, they tended to feed off the antics of one another and sometimes it could get out of control. Despite being fairly even keeled on her own even she wasn't immune to that. Not really.<br/><br/>Her run, more a leisurely trot than outright running, took her along her usual path allowing her to breathe and gently get her blood pumping in anticipation of the day. There were a few she greeted here and there but mostly Zii was focused inward rather than out. She ran until she felt her muscles warm, until she felt juiced up, and then returned to her cabin to stretch before grabbing her stuff for a quick shower. Quietly but much more alert, Zii finished her shower and dressed before heading back to her cabin. Some of the others were also awake and moving about now but looking among the bunks there were plenty still flat on their faces, snoring like chainsaws. She could have gone off to breakfast but she didn't feel like eating alone. So flopping back down on her back, Zii actually tucked her hands behind her head and laid there ticking off the minutes before Ezra's inevitable arrival.<br/><br/><em>Three... Two... One...</em><br/><br/>Like clockwork the male she'd grown quite close to after so many years at camp stepped into the cabin. To some he might have painted an imposing figure framed there in the doorway, looming large and reaching for a spear, but to Zii he was just... Ezra.<br/><br/><em>Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.</em><br/><br/>Like the chiming of an angry clock, the sound of the spear hitting the floor over and over made her smile as she watched the children of Ares launch themselves out of bed or scramble up from whatever they were doing. Some were barely awake as they hurried to stand and avoid Ezra's direct attention. She however, remained exactly where she was, her body relaxed as she waited for him to make his way down to her end of the cabin. She knew he would. He always did.<br/><br/>"Come to kick my ass out of bed, Cap'n?" She asked in mock challenge, though not too loudly. Others might not have cared in her position but in her mind as his second it wouldn't do to be seen as trying to actually undermine him. That didn't mean she couldn't have a little fun though. Her lips spread into a grin that gave away her mood as she looked up at him from where she lay. Erza was quite stern but she'd been poking at his too serious exterior since she'd first arrived in camp. Some might have seen this as reckless but she just couldn't help herself. It always felt like a personal challenge, getting beneath that intense exterior. In any case, it was obvious that she was already fully dressed as she lay there and he knew good and well she was far from lazy but still, she wanted to see if he would take the bait this morning.
