Khushi's eyes widened standing a few feet away from the training army grounds, with the small poster in her hand still. She gulped watching the men behind the cross wire fence, some doing push ups, some running and crawling under and through obstacles and walls...and all that in the dark wet mud. They were all wearing the same white vest and black jogging-like trousers with mud smeared all over, making it very hard for Khushi to look for Arnav. She squinted and tilted her head side to side while even sometimes going on her tip toes but with still no avail.

Finally she smiled finding him among them doing a drill of the obstacles, but was soon startled with shock as a whistle shot through the air making her put a hand against her heart fearfully. She shivered now less confident on how to approach Arnav now when he's so busy. She smiled softly seeing his determination and admired his strength even in the mud. Maybe I'll talk to him about it tomorrow...

Just as she was about to turn to leave Khushi stopped noticing Arnav had already spotted her from afar. Arnav noticing Khushi frowned curiously wondering why she was here. He watched as she faced him with a timid smile and even raised her hand a little to wave at him. Arnav nodded firmly at her, before hearing the whistle for a well-deserved 10 minute break.

Khushi blinked watching as Arnav casually walked up to the fence and lean his hands against it breathing steadily like a caged predator. Arnav eyes trailed her appearance with a warm lopsided smile before asking her in a deep toned voice.

Arnav: " Is everything alright?"
