"I'm empty."
Arriving back at the house, Ren dropped himself on the welcoming comfort of the couch in the lounge room.
"You were only out there for an hour."
Sitting on the couch across from him, Tristan was cleaning his gun with a handkerchief while Charlotte sat silently next to Ren, sinking her attention to the book on her lap.
"I've been out of commission for two months, what do you expect from me? I'm not a damn alien warrior from another planet."
Ren huffed, placing his hands behind his head to relieve himself to total relaxation.
Lifting his head slightly, just enough to get a peek over at Charlotte, who was sat next to his legs, he smiled at the sight of her so deeply engrossed in the book she held.
"What're you reading there?"
"A book."
"...I see that."
Ren chuckled at her meek answer, sitting himself up to get a glance at the words inscribed on the pages. His reading was still in need of improvement, forcing him to silently sound out the words with his lips.
