Levi
"Oh..." I said quietly letting the story of her past sink in. She seemed to have lost everything good in her perfect life, and all at such a young age. I could feel her pain, but I couldn't connect with it. In ways she and I were alike, but in more ways we were different. I pulled my legs closer to me and looked at her. She looked very distant and upset... I reached out and placed my hand on her knee, leaning into her and trying to give her a reassuring grin and what I hoped would be a comforting comment.
"They seemed to have cared for you a lot, Zayna. I'm sure they haven't stopped yet." I smiled at her and looked at her face which was lit by the setting sun and her dark bangs that fell into her downcast eyes.
((Notice how he avoided saying the word 'love' since he never got any from his parents xD I'm terrible but that's probably gonna be an emotional theme with him lol))

I inhaled sharply and closed my eyes as the sting of his words hit my nonexistent heart. I blinked rapidly as tears filled the brim of my eye. But before the tears could spill over, I quickly attempted to change the subject.
“What about your parents Levi? Where do they play into all this for you?” I asked quietly, bringing my hand up near his until they were barely brushing.

((Because this is mobile I can't look at what she said for sure so that's why I'm leaving it out in my posts))
Levi
She brought her own hand up closer to mine to where they were nearly brushing against each other. When I started talking I started to play with her fingers to distract myself from the past that the words brought up.
"Well, my birth parents were actually both in the government believe it or not. They had a fling, fell in love, and I was just a bump in the road for them until I got old enough to leave at home alone while they devoted their lives to their jobs. The more they ignored me and pushed their 'duties' on top of me, the more I hated everything they were saying and doing, but more importantly WHY they were doing it. My relationship with them was never perfect but the views I had started clashing with theirs in ways that none of us could handle... My mother told me something she'd been hiding from everyone. She'd devoted her life to the government because she was trying so desperately to get away from her past. Come to find out she was Silas's sister. She'd gotten back into contact with him and asked him to take me in because well, she and my dad thought I'd be better off there. And long story short they didn't want anything to do with me anyway, but especially if Silas wanted me, so they tried to break all ties with me by disowning me when I was thirteen... And I joined a family who wanted me for the rebel I was and it was good, until I got arrested but that's that. Pretty crappy cards we got in life, huh?" I finished. I looked at her earnestly, wondering how we got to this point and why any of this happened to us. My hand had stopped playing with her fingertips and paused with them in an open embrace, just hanging on loosely but surely.

I let out a single, dry laugh as I thought about our two stories. They were alike in some ways but different in others. But they both ended the same way: with us being handed the short end of the stick. I noticed that Levi had stopped messing with my fingers and now had his hand loosely hanging over mine. The comfort of it was more than I thought it would be and I tightened my fingers up around his, yearning for the contact of another human being.
“We definitely didn’t get dealt the greatest hand,” I agreed, shaking my head slightly.

Levi
She gripped my hand back and then agreed with me and gave a single dry laugh. I sighed and looked out of the mouth of the small cave.
"Well, at least we got to meet each other..." I said distantly. My hand felt right in hers and in a matter of moments we knew more about each other than most people ever knew about either of us. The sun was nearly gone and the night sky was starting to creep in along with a chill in the air but, despite everything, in that moment I was comfortable.

I looked up at him and stared at him as he watched the setting sun outside of the cave. The light reflected off his face, defining the shapes and angles of it, and shimmering through his eyes. I smiled a little and leaned my head against his shoulder, turning my face towards the mouth of the cave to watch the last bit of the sun dip behind a blanket of darkness.
“Yeah.. At least there’s that..” I murmured, biting my lip in thought. In a matter of moments, we knew more about one another than anyone else and I suddenly felt something I hadn’t felt in years. Despite the circumstances and all the challenges I knew we were going to face, in that moment, I felt happy.

"Okay, so what's your favorite food?" I asked. We had to eat snake tonight and it was, well, eh... So food was the first thing that popped into my mind.

“Okay, so what’s your favorite food?” I stared at him for a moment, one eyebrow cocked.
“Wow, way to be basic,” I commented, caught off guard by the simplicity in his question.

"I had to start somewhere." I replied sheepishly. "So, what is it? 'Cause I know it's not snake." I told her with a laugh and a sly grin.

“I had to start somewhere,” Levi replied sheepishly. “So what is it? ‘Cause I know it’s not snake!” Levi joked, a sly grin crossing his face.
“Ugh definitely not,” I agreed, making a face. “But.. I’d have to say baked beans is my favorite food.”

((I totally forgot what Levi's favorite food was...))
Levi
"Hmm, those'd go great with ribs... Which is my favorite, by the way." I replied, my face slowly melting into a smaile at the thought of a nice, big barbeque. 'If only they would've given us a last meal before they sent us out here.' I thought passingly to myself.

((I'm totally looking at my bio papers xD))
Zayna
"That's like a perfect dream meal right there," I agreed, my taste buds working up a river of saliva in my mouth. "But before I go into a food dream coma, I'll stick with the basic questions here and go with.. What's your favorite genre of music?"

((I think mine are in a box somewhere xD))
Levi
"Rock, mostly. What about you?" I asked, trying to read her before she answered. She didn't seem like someone to like anything too hardcore but she didn't seem country or anything on that end of the spectrum...

((Nice! xD Dude so I found a little story I wrote about Jaqueline and Xade that I TOTALLY forgot I wrote))
Zayna
“Rock mostly,” he replied quickly. I nodded my head, definitely able to see it. “What about you?”
“I’m more of a dubstep person myself,” I countered.

((Woah, you have to bring it to school sometime! xD))
Levi
"Dubstep? Really?" I laughed, giving her a once-over. I shook my head, not expecting that kind of answer, then I moved on. "Hmm... Okay. Well, do you have any hobbies?"
