[TheChosen]

@pieboblol: In the words of Space Harrier: "Youre doing great!"

Paco's walking down the stairs, heading to the cellar to see the new collection of freaks. At the stairs, he notice's TheChosen sitting on the last step. He seems to be sleeping.

Paco look arounds, but there's no one else near. Just as he's about to scare the hell out of him, TC's rifle was pointing at his nose.

TheChosen: Dont even think about it
Paco: Damn! How did you know I was here.
TheChosen: Sixth sense
Paco: What? Is that telepathic stuff?
TheChosen: No. Its natural evolution.

There's a little akward silence. Then TC continues.

TheChosen: Do you know how many battles I have fought?
Paco: More than me at least
TheChosen: Exactly. Soldiers and mercenaries like me who have fought in tons of battles, wars, conflicts, firefights and bar brawls tend to be tired and exhausted all the time. Me and many others tend to take naps whenever and where-ever we can.
Paco: You tired?
TheChosen: Hell yeah. I havent had a decent vacation in years. Most of my days I spent with military stuff or weapons. Sometimes maybe a little spying mission. I do relax every now and then like a normal working people, but still, If I got nothing better to do, Il take a nap. Even in a middle of a mission.

TC takes out a coke can from somewhere and pops it open.

TheChosen: Altough we take naps, were still alive and ready for combat. All the experience has made us restless and If there's danger near, we sense it, even if were sleeping.
Paco: I see. Is that why you drink coke?
TheChosen: No. I know it has caffeine, but that doesnt help much. Sometimes, If its very cold, I'l stay wide awake for few hours. I just drink this because its good.

TC finishes his drink and throws the can away.

TheChosen: By the way, I hope you arent down here just because you want to hear mercenary wisdom.
Paco: What? Oh, right. Nope. Sorry. I was going for somewhere. Later.
TheChosen: Yeah. Later.

TC watches as Paco disappears downstairs. Then, he closes his eyes and continues his dream.
