At some point, it became clear that Khalifa liked roleplaying. Very much.
When the men found out about it through much prodding, they made arrangements so Khalifa could 'play' with them, too.
Jacob asked that they could take the school as well. Anyway, the official takeover was still a day away, they could use it for a bit more!
"Please, Khalifa?" He asked, playfully rubbing his head on her shoulder, making her giggle.
Jacob had shown massive improvement the past few days. For one, his voice was back to normal.
He has slowly returned to the little puppy dog she had known him to be.
So, a few hours later, they stood in front of the clean (Khalifa used her ability) and well-lit (the whole school was solar powered) school.
Looking at the building, Jacob couldn't help but feel a bit of nostalgia.
Khalifa looked at the wistful young man with a smile. Jacob sensed her stare and wrapped his arm around her.
