[There's a young Snake roaming around, seemingly looking for someone. He has a concerned, fleeting look on his face. Despite his training to mask his emotions, he can't help the frown currently furrowing his brows.]

[He's lost someone important. He can't find her anywhere. No matter where he searched, Dr. Clark was no where to be seen.]

[He picked up his pace, moving from a stride, to a jog, to a sprint. His bandanna zipped about behind him, flying around his head. He panted, trying so desperately to find his carer, but when he eventually reached the lobby from searching the hallways of the entire building, he collapsed on a bench in exhaustion, panting hard.]

[Sweat dripped down David's face as he hunched over, trying his best to prevent his frustration from surfacing, but the obvious grimace on his face remained permenantly fixed.]

_Damnit...

[Null remains silent a moment. He's used to the sound of silence; so often, that was all he would hear. With few memories of his past, he had no choice but to accept that what lay in the depths of his mind would forever be shrouded in a blanket of darkness, under cover of silence. It was something he assumed all soldiers were meant to grow accustomed to, why Elisa would leave him alone for extended periods of time -- why Big Boss could not care for him.]

[He finally speaks, the corners of his mouth turning up ever-so slightly into a faint smile.]

If I'd wanted you dead, I would have killed you then. No questions.

[Due to the mask covering Null's face, David was left with the stoic voice of his 'shadow', leading him to believe he was deadly serious about what he had suggested.]

I am aware of that. [He spoke in a quiet mumble. He had indeed been intimidated by Frank. He still was.]

[Reaching up, Null takes hold of his mask and pulls it down, letting the other boy see that faint smile.]

You are not my enemy.

I don't want to be your enemy.

[It was still rather obvious that David had not encountered other children outside of Frank before. The concept of having an aquaintence of his own age, let alone his first friend... It was unfathomable.]

[The smile puts him at east, but he knows not to assume that everything is okay between them, that Frank won't try to kill him again.]

[Acquaintances his own age are few and far between -- the closest one being Elisa at this time. He does recognize that Elisa wanted him to get along with people, find "friends" as she'd called them. Whether it's Nexus magic at work or something else, Null finds himself dawn to David. Unaware of what his future relationship with the other soldier is, it's a strange and almost... Pleasant feeling. To discover a potential comrade, another child soldier -- someone his own age.]

...A young girl, Sunny. She informed me of this event known as "Halloween". I am not entirely certain regarding protocol for the event... But I would like for you to accompany us.

[The difference of the situation, and yet the familiarity of being close to another child was both exhilarating and frightening at the same time for David. He had only read in books how people befriended others. He had not yet come to terms with the notion of 'friendship'. Yet he knew that, despite his life being threatened by Null, he had similarly been drawn to him in turn, as though he had seen his face somewhere before.]

Halloween...

[He pondered over the thought.] It's a common tradition. Not celebrated as widely as Christmas, but an occassion known world wide.

I have never celebrated it.

I had not even heard of such a thing prior to my arrival here... Perhaps this could be our first Halloween then.

[Quite possibly for the first time since he arrived in this Nexus, a smile grew on David's face. Something finally clicked with him deep inside, something that made his chest feel warm and tight.]

I can tell you everything I know.

I would like that.

So who is Sunny?

She is not a soldier. She appears to be a civilian child, I detect no threat regarding her.

She appeared to be very elated when I accepted her offer to join her on Halloween. She stated Halloween is something one partakes in with their friends.

[So there it was. The admittance. Something one partakes in with their friends. That there was an encouragement beyond all belief for David.]

Friends...

Is Sunny your friend?

She invited me to accompany her... I would not object if she were to refer to me as a comrade.

Right...

... We'll need costumes.

[He nods.]

I have agreed to be a vampire.

I guess I could be a werewolf.

[Wolf. Dog. Something along those connotations.]

Sunny mentioned zombies and pirates as well.

[This brings up another question...]

...Did Doctor Clark show you movies while you were under her care?

Yeah. Her taste in films weren't so great. _{James Bond wasn't so bad.}

The ones I have seen were good.

...

We are from different times though.

[He himself was an 80s kid.]

... Have you heard of Terminator?

[You'll make him feel old sooner or later, David. He's still 13 years before Terminator.]

No. What's that?

[David can cram him with knowledge over the past ten or so years.]

A movie. Maybe if I can find a copy, we can watch it. I'll show you what a good movie is.

Understood.

...Have you seen The Great Escape?

Yes. But I don't mind watching that again. It wasn't a bad movie.

...It is the film I most enjoy.

[Out of all four he's currently seen.]
