Summary: Lavi still hasn't been updated on the whole little Yuu thing. What's up with that? >|

Lavi considered himself to be a very patient young man. He knew all about how events and issues would sort themselves out if they were meant to be sorted out and of course, the fact that he ought to simply observe from the side has been drilled into him from childhood. He has observed too, for nearly two weeks now and no explanation had been forthcoming. How was history supposed to be recorded if the Bookman in training had no clue what was going on?

So, it was definitely time to act. He found himself already tiptoe-ing towards Allen's room while he reasoned with himself why disturbing the boy at four in the morning was much more appropriate than approaching him the next day. First reason, there were classes in session all day and skipping lessons so near exam week could pose some potentially devastating effects on Allen's grades, after all, not everyone had his memory. Second, people were always around during the day and finally third, Lavi was already at Allen's door, so why wait?

The coolest thing about Garden, as he had learned thus far, was technology made for really silent and smooth sliding doors. Really, they were just perfect for launching a surprise attack with. Like this:

"RISE AND SHINE, ALLEN WALKER~!"

He was loud, but maybe something more dramatic would make things better, say flicking the light switch on and off?

He’d only barely dozed off, not even long enough for any sort of dream to surface, when he woke up to the sound of Lavi’s voice and lights blinking on and off. Allen sat up but otherwise barely responded, taking a long moment to look around as if he partly expected some kind of attack. But it was just Lavi. “I’m awake?”

He’d meant to stay awake anyways, sleeping lately had been unpleasant at best so even if he found his body craving and crying for sleep Allen barely allowed himself twenty minute naps. Sometimes even then something horrifying or confusing managed to find its way into his dreamscape.

Staying awake had its own perils of course but Allen had taken care of that in his own room at least, turning over the mirror to face away from him and carefully avoiding any reflective surface. “What time is it, even? What are you doing here?”

Oh, boo. Lavi had hoped for a lively response of some sort with his antics. Allen barely seemed awake, in fact, the only change seemed to be that he was sitting up instead of lying down. Next time, he was going to receive the ice water wake up call. Maybe that would actually make the guy jump or yell.

"I'd say not yet with that face." He made his way over and yanked the blankets off his fellow Exorcist and now cadet. "C'mon, let's go somewhere better suited for talking. Just in case I haven't woken your neighbours yet." He hooked an arm under Allen's and used his height to practically drag the other off the bed.

"And it's just four o'clock, since you asked."

Allen stumbled at the yanking and pulling, lurching to his feet at Lavi's urging. It would take too much effort to resist and Lavi was unrelenting once he'd decided on something. Part of that childish will, or really just Lavi being a brat.

"You should have thought of that before."

He had to admire Lavi for his persistent energy though, or perhaps he was one of those lucky few not affected by the nightmares. Allen couldn't be sure though, Lavi's unwavering smile was no less a mask than Allen's careful manners. At least it was already almost morning, whatever Lavi had in mind it'd be good distraction until it was time to head for breakfast without risk of falling asleep too long again.

Lavi waved his free hand in response. Details. So what if he was a bit loud announcing his presence, he had sort of closed the door and he was being considerate now by moving elsewhere. At least, if angry neighbours did come over to check on them the room would be empty. It was also Allen's room, so if someone came over to yell the next morning... well, too bad for Allen.

"Come, come. Move those little legs of yours."

It was almost eerie how loud their soft footsteps were in the silence of the halls. Back at home, there would always still be a few stragglers wandering about be it the scientists or a matron. At least it made reaching their destination much faster without people blocking their path. It also meant they were pretty much on their own in the Training facility.

"Children first," he grinned and shoved Allen ahead inside, "We're going to chat in the Secret Area. Have you been there before?"

Allen followed, barely paying attention to their surroundings, the hallways they passed. He was tired honestly, he was used to being tired but after a week of those thoughts and dreams haunting him consistently with nothing to distract him- Allen was nearing exhausted. No missions or Akuma, the only thing to drive him was the need to return to the Order and that hope was something far too distant.

He sighed, "You make it sound like you're planning to interrogate me." That would be a familiar situation of course, everything was worth interrogating lately. But at least whatever it was Lavi still trusted him.

"I've been. I got lost in the training center the first week."

"Oh no, not interrogate," He patted Allen's shoulder in what he hoped would feel reassuring. "We're just going to converse about our experiences here. Share gossips like the little women." All right, fine, Lavi was planning on being a little interrogative. At least with him, the experience wouldn't come off like it would with the head secretary.
