Wyatt made his way around to one of the chairs and sat down, making sure to keep at a safe distance from Liri as he did so. She still hadn't gotten back at him for when he had dunked water over her the other morning. And she likely hadn't forgotten. "Sorry to disrupt your dreaming, but I'm hungry" he teased lightly, sitting back comfortably in the chair. Liri just smiled and shook her head slightly. "Go shift and get dressed before Wyatt throws a fit" she suggested gently, a light humor in her voice. She was rather hungry herself, but out of them, Wyatt was probably the least patient when it came to food.

Sombra rubbed his face with his paw while Liri and Wyatt told him to get dressed so that they could eat. Simply nodding, he got off the couch and disappeared into his room. Sombra was a little more awake while he shifted and changed into his pajams, running his fingers through his messy fluffy hair while stretching and yawning. He didn't take too long since he was hungry too, "im here now..." Sombra said as he sat back down in his spot.
Emerald chuckled and laughed a little as Sombra came back to the living room. "You have a bed head Sombra" She said as she got up and started to hand everyone their plates of food. Since they were all here it was best to not keep everyone, espcially Wyatt, waiting for their food.

Dinner went by in an enjoyable fashion and everyone proceeded to go off to their rooms. To sleep, read or whatever prefered activity each did before going to sleep. The following days went by surprisingly fast. Not a surprise with the intensity their training had gone up to. Each pushed over their limits and tested in every way thought of. Even the poor security guards that were part of their training looked rather beat up with the amount that was done in a day. There were quite a few close calls with one of them losing control. Especially during combat training for Liri, her defense system being pushed into overdrive. Something that would be fine if she was actually fighting against bad people, but not in training. Emery got overwhelmed by some rather realistic simulations they were put through, which she had luckily managed to face after some training. And Wyatt ran into his problem of team work a few times. Everything was pushed to new levels, passed what was necessary, to prepare them to be sent out to the country where they'd be tested as the first werewolf soldiers. Considering the strength, stamina and speed they had over a normal human, it was all rather extreme and the only issue about these soldiers were the fact that they were young and inexperienced with the more wolf like part of their minds. Ofcourse they were all a bit confused by the new training until they were told they were being sent out. Soon. And there was no delaying this time either. It was the night before and Liri, just like all of them, was exhausted by another day of intense training. She was physically and mentally worn out. The stress of knowing they would be leaving here in the morning did not help. She was curled up on her spot, practically hidden beneath a pillow. She hadn't made any effort to move since she had sat herself down and she didn't care what was thought of her. They'd been training all day. Besides, Wyatt had made it as far as shifting back, getting dressed, then making himself at home on the living room floor. Waking him would be like poking a rock. And Emery had disappeared at some point, saying something about going to take a bath. If she hadn't been hungry, Liri would have long ago gotten herself in bed. She doubted any stress would be keeping her out of sleep tonight. She was tired enough after this full week of training.

Delta was probably the one who had most of the close calls when it came to the stress of the new training levels. This led him to have more frequent outbursts whenever he was pushed over his limit or when he was bothered, though for some reason he didn't have an outburst whenever Emery bothered him or tried to help him calm down. He would glare or growl lowly at her but he would never yell at her. Sombra and Wyatt were the ones he had most of his outbursts at, Wyatt during the morning and Sombra during training when they were paried together. So most of the time after training Delta would just rest in his room to calm down and do his best to relax. Though today he wasn't doing that, Delta was so tired from the training he passed out right after training in front of the couch still in wolf form. Ironicly today, Sombra was using Delta as pillow while they had slept. The training had left him so tired as of late that it was easy to nap between training and dinner time. He had enough energy to shift and change before going and passing out on Delta, not caring he was on the floor. Or the fact that him and Delta had been arguing 2 hours earlier. Emerald was relaxing in one of the chairs, reading a book that Emery had let her borrow. She couldn't sleep for once and had already taken a relxing bath during the break in training. She had been paired with Wyatt for most of the week during training and they had helped each other get through the intense training. Emerald sigh and looked up from the book, looking over at Delta and Sombra wondering how that was working out, and looking at Liri who was on the couch as they all waited for dinner.

Emery eventually got herself out of the bathtub, her body relaxed by the warm water. It had been hard not to fall asleep. Probably the only thing that saved her from doing so was that the water was cooling down now. She wrapped a towel around herself and pulled the plug to let the water drain. Then let herself drip-dry for a while. This week had been tough on her. She had been distracting herself from the training and her own issues by focusing on Delta. Doing her best to keep him calm and from losing control. Trying to cheer him up despite not being extremly friendly in return always. They were leaving tomorrow. The trip was long enough that they'd be able to get in some proper rest. Hopefully. If they weren't stressed out too much to rest. She dried herself off fully after a moment and got dressed in pajamas, ruffling her damp hair before pushing it back. It was too short to tie without some effort. Effort she wasn't going to put in right now. Finally, she headed out to go join the others. Liri flinched when a door opened, too tired react fully as her mind prompted. It was only Emery coming out of the bathroom, she knew that, but she still reacted. Training, specifically combat training, brought back some things that had been making her more jumpy than usual. Reacting to small things that seemed harmless, but triggered the memories of a dark past. Her best guess was that it was happening because she was tired which made her feel more vulnerable. With a soft sigh, she gripped the pillow a little tighter before forcing her form to relax again. Reminding herself that she was safe. She lifted her head enough to see Emery come in and sit down, then settled back down. Burying herself with a tired sigh.

Delta huffed in his sleep, his ears and paws twitching as he had a dream. He turned over onto his other side, so that his back was facing Sombra. His shifting caused Sombra to change positions so that he was still comfortably using Delta as a pillow, which he probably didn't seem to notice while Delta slept peacfully or he just didn't care because he was still tired.
The lead scientist knocked on the door since he knew some of them had been a bit jumpy lately. He and the other scientists brought out dinner, even though Wyatt wasn't anywhere in sight, that was fine for now. He noticed that all of them looked so tired or somewhat tired, though he was surprised to see Delta and Sombra asleep on the floor. The lead scientist was sure that the two had been arguing earlier, he thought as he looked over at Liri. "I'll stay here while you all get up, I have much to tell you while you eat"

The knock on the door made Liri flinch once more, this time moving quickly to sit up. Her form even more tense than before as she watched the scientists come in with food. Her gaze uneasy and wary. It was a little frustrating to learn that they would be sticking around for a bit, but knew it was important to hear what they had to say. But honestly, she just wanted to eat and disappear into her room. Emery looked up when the scientists came in, noting the way Liri reacted, but wisely not mentioning it. "Okay" she said quietly in response to what the scientist said. Then reached over and gently nudged Delta to wake him up. Not bothering with Sombra, figuring he would wake up if Delta got up.

Emerald got up when the scientists entered, finally, it was about time that they got dinner. She quickly headed over to Wyatt's room and knocked on the door, "Wyatt, dinner had been brought in" She said before going back to the chair she was sitting in. Moving the book she was reading to a nearby side table, Emerald noticed Liri's reaction to the scientist too. Think how maybe she could try and comfort her later or during the trip tomorrow.
Delta grunted and huffed when he was nudged, slowly opening his eyes and looking around. Seeing Sombra using him as a pillow and Emery standing over him, the scent of food also drifted to his nose. "Its...time to eat already..?" He asked sleepily with a yawn, Delta didn't feel like he got an rest at all.

"Yeah, it is" Emery said, offering a sympathetic smile. He didn't look any more energized than he had before falling asleep earlier. "You can go back to sleep after dinner. And I think the scientist has some stuff to say while we eat" she said before stepping back and sitting down again to give him space. "And wake up Sombra as you get up." Wyatt would not have been stirred if it hadn't been for the scent of food. Slowly, he came to life. Encouraged by an empty stomach and a body in need of sustenance to come out of his heavy slumber. With an exaggerated sigh, he got to his feet, nearly toppled right back over, then shuffled out of his room to go find a seat in the living room. Waking him from heavy sleep often resulted in him not being very capable of communicating.

"mmm... Alright" Delta said as he yawned again, he was actually quite comfortable in the position he and Sombra were in. It took him a few seconds to convince his body to sit up, making Sombra's head slide down his back and onto the ground. Delta tapped his tail on Sombra's face until he woke, then climbed onto the couch as he wasn't going to bother to change. Knowing that if he went to his room, he would just collapse in his bed and not eat dinner, so he was going to eat like this. Sombra woke up to something being tapped on his face, as he brushed it away and opened his eyes he noticed it was Delta's tail. Sitting up he looked around as he saw the food and Wyatt sleeply walking into the living room and Emerald helped him to a spot on the couch. Sombra also noticed that the scientist was still here, which meant they were going to be told something. Emerald got up again when she saw Wyatt sleepy walking in. She went over to him, gently grabbed his arm and helped him find a seat on the couch before handing him his plate so he could eat. While also giving Emery and Lori their plates as Sombra grabbed his and Delta's. The lead scientist waited until they had started eating before talking. "As you all know, tomorrow is a big day. You will be transported to a base in the by helicopter, I had told you all to pack any sentimental items you may need a day or two ago so I hope you all did that. You will be leaving early, so get some sleep after dinner. " He said with a slight smile." You will be on the battle field for 9 months as a sort of... Trail. The guards here will be accompanying you since it's better to have guards that you know than don't know, you will also have your own accommodations at the base so don't worry about sleeping with the normal soldiers. They don't know what you are but the Sargent will, so be prepared. Any questions? "
