Scarlet crossed her arms while standing at the side and hummed quietly to herself. No one would hear her as everyone else was talking, no one except for the timid girl next to her. For several moments Scarlet tried her best to ignore her as she contemplated. <Allies are nice…. But allies stab you in the back. Should I talk to her? She seems honest and innocent. Trustworthy hopefully… but she could be acting?> All of these thoughts added together to cause her foot to tap impatiently at herself. Being indecisive is what made her most annoyed as it didn’t happen that often. Clapping her hands on her cheeks once she shocked herself out of her miniature panic attack from joining the military and sighed once in new clarity. <Sometimes all it takes is a moment to stop.> she recalled t herself.

It was then she turned to the girl next to her that seemed to be having a rough time as well. <I wonder what she left to join the military> went through her mind as she knew many of the cadets either lost parents or joined for refuge. <What does she fight for?> Crossing her arms again Scarlet started off their conversation. Actually, she hoped it would lead to a conversation and not her talking to thin air. “Are you looking for someone?” was the first words out of Scarlet’s mouth as she trusted her instinct of perception. From the time finding out how the wealthy could scheme, feign emotions, as well as lie in her family she had a talent for figuring out emotions that were veiled. So if they weren’t she saw them clearly.

Studying the girl next to her also gave her a sense that if she was going to help and protect people why shouldn’t she start by helping the girl? Though, it also distracted her from her doubts in heading towards training.
