Keir was thinking about leaving. Honestly, if not for Prim, he probably would have when Skyler announced his decision to quit school and look for their biological parents. But Skyler wasn't the only person in Keir's life, he wasn't even the only person Keir cared for at school. Not even Prim could claim that title now. Keir had a few good friends, and he wasn't ready to let go of them. He was only a level four, and so very close to becoming a level three. It was too soon to leave. There was more he needed to accomplish, and he couldn't stand the thought of not being with Prim. Choosing between her and Skyler was a horrible thing for anyone to ask him to do. Thankfully, Sky hadn't asked, and neither had Prim. They'd both been supportive.
He thought about all these things as he turned on the shower and waited for it to get hot. He was already naked from the night before, so there was no stripping down required. The waiting sucked as a result, and he shivered slightly as the cold temperature of the tile floor began to seep into his flesh and bones. But once the water was hot enough, Keir jumped in and let it splash over his body.
He wondered what the day would bring. As with most training missions, they were given very little information to prepare. Aside from being told how to dress and what not to bring along, he was going into the mission with next to no knowledge of what was about to happen. He didn't even know how long he'd be gone. That made it even harder, because what if Skyler got into trouble right away? What if Prim needed him?
