'You know, this is not helpful. Am I going to be fighting these lizardmen or are we going to be friends? I will hope for the latter but even then, I'll have to fight something right?' Scott groans in his head. 


'Don't be a baby. Whether they are a friend or a foe, you will defeat your enemy.' Steve says calmly. 


At that, he and Steve stop their chat as the new day starts. Grayson gets up soon after and greets Scott with his amazing bed head. "You're up?"

"Your sarcasm is not needed right now." Grayson rolls his eyes while getting up. 


"Your criticism is not needed." Scott slightly pouts.
