Kari glanced up as she was blowing on her mug of coffee, hearing her name being said. Making out Aryn's figure, she rubbed her eyes a few times before blinking the sleep from them. The coffee was helping her wake up, but she knew that she still needed some time to finish. Hearing the request for coffee, she immediately got up and went back to the counter. She had boiled hot water in a kettle so it would be easy to mix some instant crystals with it. Kari didn't prefer the stuff, but it was fast thus why she had it.<br/><br/>Freezing when she heard Aryn mention that he ran into the gang she had, Kari almost poured hot water on her hand and quickly set the kettle down. After dumping in some of the instant coffee crystals, she turned toward Aryn, mixing the hot liquid as she walked before handing it to him. Sitting down on a couch beside him, she didn't make direct eye contact with him and rubbed her nose which was still sore from all the bleeding the night before during her twelve hour fight session with. . . whatever the creatures were. Turning to Aryn, Kari slowly spoke but avoided making eye contact.<br/><br/>"The rival gang you say?" There was an obvious note of fear in her voice now. Kari's heart was beating so rapidly she couldn't keep track of the beats. Was it possible that someone else was having this happen to them? If so, did that mean that she wasn't crazy? Was there something wrong with their town? Was there a gas leak somewhere, or was someone playing an elaborate prank on them? There were an infinite amount of possibilities, and Kari knew that she wouldn't be able to find them out herself. The warning from last night said that the countdown had already begun. Patting where her phone normally was, she realized it was still in her room and exhaled deeply before looking up into Aryn's tired eyes with her own. "The crazy things," she said barely audible, as if it were just a whisper.<br/><br/>"I think. . .I think that they may be happening to a couple of us. I don't know why yet, but I tried to find out last night." Kari looked down at her sore hands, and her callouses were redder than normal symbolizing how much she'd been fighting the night before. There were some new scrapes that could be seen on her knees and arms, so it was apparent that she'd been in another fight. "I don't know what we should do. . ." she would say simply, hugging herself as she stared at the dark steaming liquid within her mug. "But. . . I was warned, I just don't know how to understand it yet." Her hair covered her face now, to hide it from Aryn, she didn't want him to see the fear in her eyes or the insecurity she felt because she was failing as an RA to protect everyone.
