[Training] immediate regret

And I came to, walking on the train tracks

Belial flew overhead, circling over a nest of rabbits; Zuriel wandered along behind, grazing contentedly. It was almost shocking, that this much life could exist so close to the Citadel, which was often entombed in snow.

But hey, even if she lost, she had to admit that it did sound a little fun. "Fine. Where to?"

I've been up all night, let's stay awake
