He sighed and looked around. "Yeah...flowers aren't usually seen in conjunction with Knights. But, for you, I'm willing to make an exception." He said and laid down next to Maya. "Days like this make me glad that my basic training is over..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The picture was now in her head. It was one of the paradoxical knight in his flower field. "What was your basic training like?" Maya asked after opening her eyes.

"Guess i will give you my schedule then." He laughed
"From 6 am to 9 am I did excersizes in the snow. Push up, sit ups, marathons, mile runs, swimming, sword and shield practice, things like that. From 9 til 11 I had my trainee classes, geography and cryptic mythology. 11 to 12 I had lunch with people from the village I practiced near. From then on I practiced planning, leadership, weapon management, speech, logic, and some tidbits about potionmaking and blacksmithing. That usually lasted till 6, to which I had 5 hours to myself to do anything I wanted."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Maya stared at the whispy clouds as they blew by, contemplating what it must have been like to have to train all day long without much of a break. The most she ever did was go on excursions with her mother, which never lasted longer than a few hours. "I definitely appreciate doing nothing at home now. What was there to do in those five hours? I imagine not much but more of what you would do during training."

"Eh, a little bit of this and that. I ice fished, hunted, hung out with the local children when they were of age. Even got to play a couple of video games. Russian games are a lot less censored than most places...." He laughed. "what about you? is all you did was fish with your dad? surely you had SOME friends. Who wouldn't wanna be friends with you?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"There were a few kids who lived nearby, but most of them were younger or went to other schools. I also had a couple of friends among the sirens, but it wasn't like I saw them often. Most of my time was spent reading, working on my singing, and working on school work. I liked that kind of stuff actually." Maya laughed. "As people say, I'm a nerd."

Nikolai laughed. "So...I have one more question. What are other sirens like? ya know, when they aren't luring sailors to their deaths. I've never seen one in person before, since I chose land battle instead of water battle. But, are they like Gorgons, where they are evil 100% of the time, with more beauty? Or, are they nicer in some ways?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Maya had to think of how to describe the rest of them. "Well, they aren't 100% evil really. It's hard to explain."She needed something to compare them to. Her lack of outside experience was leaving her a bit dry, so she continued her explanation without help. "They're great people when you're one of them. You have to be an impeccably amazing outsider to even talk to one. Otherwise, yeah, they're pulling people off boats and tearing them apart. It's weird. Being on both sides, I don't see much of a difference between sirens and humans. Ah, that's it. They're human basically."

"Ok, now this next one might offend you a little bit...." he sighed. "But.....are they monsters? Like, do they just pull ANYBODY off of a ship, or do they have a sense of a respect. For example, will they kill a navy crew if the crew is defending the area in which they reside?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Daijou--I mean, it's fine." She had slipped into Japanese for the first time since she had come to the school. She only did that kind of thing with people she trusted. "It's like playing a sport. They don't always pull people off, but it becomes this idea that all humans are one way, so it's very indiscriminate."

He laughed. "Yeah...I can kinda see that. If I knew I was being pulled in by a sirene, I'd slash first and ask questions later as well..." he admitted, a slight blush coming over him. "What about you? do you have any questions about Knights you were always curious about?

"Actually its a lot more than you think. However instead of evil lords or dragons or anything like that, its more bringing them supplies they need. Like food and water." He laughed. "ya know, you are really fun to hang out with" He admitted, blushing more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Am I now?" She stood up and did her best "princess" curtsy she could, then continued speaking. "What, sir knight, makes my presence so different from others you've met?" She was barely suppressing the laughter and embarrassment of her actions, but she was having fun.

"well, for one, you're a sirene that isn't trying to kill me" He chuckled, and stood up with her. "And second, you're awfully nice to someone with a supposed past like me." he sighed, then pulled the document out of his vest pocket.
