Action- Backdated to Tuesday evening

[leftthesafetyon]

Well, that didn't go as well as she expected. She was too late to find an owner, which means she couldn't really learn that much more about the world, and she couldn't even spend her time at the gym. Well, it's not like the courtyard was trash, right? She could just get her evening workout done there, and deal with finding an owner during the classes.

In the meantime, the sight of a woman doing push ups against a curb doesn't really add to the otherwise calm scenery. Some may admire her massive strength, among other things, while others may be disguised by the fact that she's sweating all over the nearby flower bed. Either way, she seems to notice you despite how engrossed in her workout she is.

"Hey, you got a second?"

"Huh?" Kallen almost jumped at the question. "Yeah... fine..." But why now was she getting the feeling there was something about Lelouch she was forgetting. But she remembered everything; his death, them working together, his betrayal...

"I'm not going to play. I refused to be used as a puppet or some pawn. They can find someone else."

"Fair enough." Meryl had her reasons for participating, but at the same time, it may be better if some people didn't. If anything, it'll be a slight setback for whoever's running this place.

"In the meantime... good luck." She tried to smile again. It was pretty obvious that the conversation upset Kallen, so she tried to at least reassure her.

"Thanks. I take it you'll fight?"

"Until I know more about what's going on, or if things start getting even worse." She nodded.

"Worse?"

[leftthesafetyon]

"People start dying."

It was almost second nature for Kallen to want to say ' I won't allow that to happen', but she stopped herself. She said she wasn't getting involved and she didn't plan on to.

"Let's hope it would never have to come to that."

"Don't worry, things won't." Meryl was so sure of herself; she'd save the day and make sure everyone gets to go home safely. There was no reason for this other person to get hurt if she didn't want to; Heck, she probably caused enough grief for their entire visit to this school.

Kallen smiled, but it probably came off more so as a smirk. She was seeing her 'old self' in Meryl a bit. Definitely could relate a lot.

"Name's Kallen."
