Soldier of KOS Excerpt

Training? He tilted his head as he followed Ursula out of the room.

Breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs, fried hot dogs, and bread. He was grateful for that piece of normalcy. Ursula stacked his plate up with food and slid it in front of him.

“Eat up Corraidhín.” He handed him a fork and then grabbed two tall glasses. “Do you want orange juice or milk?”

“Orange juice please.” He replied. When Ursula finally sat down to eat, he decided now was a good time to ask questions. “Why do you call me Corraidhín?”

“That was your family name when they first join KOS.” Ursula stated.

“Oh.” He nodded. Then it hit him. He knew Ursula’s name. But he didn’t know his name. “My name is Scotty. You can call me that. I’m sure it’s a lot easier to say then Corraidhín.”

Ursula nodded as he went back to his plate. When he opened his mouth to ask another question, Ursula cut him off. “Eat your breakfast before it gets cold. After we’re done, you can ask all the questions in world. Until dinner anyway.”

Breakfast was silent for the rest of the meal. Scotty felt uncomfortable, but Ursula couldn’t have been more content.
