Kyle allowed his grip to slack a little, yet his hand was still touching the dish. 

Corinne shook her head. "Hand it back here. I'll eat it."

He returned an equally cautious look.

The girl, on the other hand, pulled her bowl back. "I would have finished already in the time you two took fighiting over it."

Kyle did likewise.

"Was I supposed to know you'd fight?" She resumed eating the cooling food.

"Just hurry up, I guess," Kyle sighed.

"I'm on it. Meanwhile, I think we asked a question you did not quite answer."

"Hmmm? What was it?"

Corinne looked at the two in disbelief. After an audible sigh, she said, "About our mission. We didn't get to check it in the list, so we wanted to know what it was."

"Well, actually, you shouldn't worry too much about it," he said casually, twirling a hand in the air. "It's not hard."

"Oh, you'll see soon enough. It's scheduled for tonight anyway."

"Nothing special," he answered. "Just keep your favorite weapons. Take it easy."

"Could you at least tell us what it's about?"

"Let's just say that killing is optional this time."

"Ooh, you're a gunner?" Kyle asked with curiosity.

"I didn't know that," Corinne commented. 

Kyle grinned. "Good to know we can have ranged support. I only use one weapon."

"And that would be?"

"Why, my sword, of course!"

"Isn't it inconvenient, though?"

"Nah," he says. "Not to brag, but I'm really good with it."

Corinne rolled her eyes.

"I take slightl offense to that." Kyle frowned, but brightened a little. "And you? What do you use?"

"Knives, swords, daggers... if it's close up, I can beat anyone."

Seems like Lyle has two very modest teammates.

"Hmm, you're scared of me now?" She half-leaned on the table, smiling slyly in his direction.

Kyle snickered.

"You did wHAT???"

"Aw, come on. You just weren't paying attention to your step," She laughed.

"Maybe you need to get glasses or something..."
