She laughed and matched his grin. "You're hilarious."

“Thank you, I’ve been told that I am enjoyable in that sense,” Santiago said, rolling onto his side to face her in a more comfortable position.

(Sorry I had to go somewhere)
"I bet a lot of people have told you that." She smiled, tucking her hair behind her ears. "I've been told by boys that I'm. . . unnerving."

(It’s all good.)
“They are just intimidated is all. They are obviously not as comfortable around you as I am,” Santiago quipped, smiling softly now.

"Not as comfortable?" She smiled, tilting her head to the side. "And why are you more comfortable around me. . .?"

“Oh gosh, what is this, Twenty Questions?” Santiago asked jokingly. “You just have an easy going vibe, and it’s almost relaxing.”

"Maybe this is Twenty Questions," She shrugged, grinning. "After all, I haven't known you for a long time."

“Yeah, I suppose your right,” Santiago said slowly. “I already feel like I know so much about you, just from what you’ve said about your family, and from what I’ve learned at the academy.”

She nodded. "I feel like I know you too. When you were in the academy, college, did you guys learn about me?"
pets
“Mhm.” Santiago nodded. “We learned about a lot of the ‘Still-at-large’ criminals in the early years. Not exactly the most interesting subject at the time to younger me.”

"Huh," Rylan said, thinking about people talking about her in school. "What did they teach you?"
pets
“Crimes they’ve committed, what they look like, where they frequent, and what to do if you spot one,” Santiago explained, slowly trailing off.

She nodded slowly. "What information did they tell you about me?"
pets
“That you’re a dangerous criminal and we should report to Alec immediately if we see you,” Santiago said, shrugging.

"Well, you didn't follow those rules." Rylan replied, giving him a crooked grin.

“Yeah, I guess you could say that I’m a bit rebellious,” Santiago joked. He wasn’t sure he had misbehaved at all growing up. His mother was very strict in that sense, and it made him want to laugh because of how much of a stereotype that was.

" 'Santiago The Rebel.' " She sighed, laughing. "The name works."

“Oh god, sounds like a name for someone who wants to be in the Mexican Mafia,” Santiago said, laughing.

She laughed. "Huh, Mexican Mafia . . . I think someone asked me to be in a mafia once."

“And you didn’t accept?” Santiago questioned, arching a dark brow.

She shook her head. "They wanted to use me for 'entertainment' purposes and to taunt the nation. Sure I love to bother the Republic, but dancing isn't my thing." Rylan explained.

"How about you?" Rylan asked. "What was life like for you?"
pets
“Eh, it was fine. Had a good family, good education. I did experience some racial tension though, seeming as how I was one of the only Hispanic kinds in a community of Caucasian people,” Santiago explained with a frown.

She nodded, wondering what life would be like if she had been raised in the Ruby Sector. Having good food everyday, a family and a promised future as a soldier.

"Sometimes I wonder what it would've been like if I was a Republic soldier." Rylan sighed. "Fighting all the battles. Being the one who hunted down criminals. . ." She trailed off.

“It’s not that nice,” Santiago said softly. “It’s strict, and the physical and mental training it brutal.”

Rylan nodded in understanding. "The slums aren't forgiving. . . " She started. "I see kids as young as eight taking care of their siblings. Knowing that they don't have a fair chance at life. . ." Rylan trailed off.

“Is that how you grew up?” He asked hesitantly, propping himself up on his elbow.

She bit her lip, hesitating to answer. "Well, I had to live on my own since I was nine. I had a little brother. . ." Rylan didn't finish it, turning away from Santiago so he couldn't see the tears clouding her vision.

Santiago appeared confused for a moment before realization set in. “Oh, oh god.. Rylan, I’m so sorry.” He got up from his bed and moved to sit next to Rylan on her bed.
