Scarlet tapped her foot a little as she listened to her fellow recruit talk. <Like her brother huh? I guess her and I would get along if she enjoys being in his company then.> she thought to herself before saying. “Nice to have you with me as well.” It was nice having a friend already in this new place where having allies might be handy. After all, no one can fight Titans alone without expecting some trouble. They say one man can change the world, but no one ever realizes both of them had a lot of support, so Scarlet took the chance to have someone by her side. Before she could say more though the new girl arrived to say hello and prevented further inquiry for now.

Then Scarlet looked up and down at the new company quickly taking note of what she seemed like. Not wanting to be too much of a judge, but at the same time she didn’t like losing her guard with people right away. The way this stranger approached Scarlet put her a little bit off. No one else seemed so 'friendly' in this building nor did many hold such a huge smile. Seeing the outreached hand though she prevented herself for being called rude and shook it once for Scarlet decided to speak in response “It seems so, I’m Scarlet.” Scarlet feigned a small smile with great accuracy herself, but watched Mika closely.

In her mind Scarlet had doubts as she referred to her past experiences. Smiles and handshakes are but formalities in her old life, and many sly schemes can be held behind them. So Mika was one that certainly set her on alert for the moment. Scarlet was entirely conflicted in her mind however. She wanted to trust her comrades and not be looking for the knife in her back when going after Titans. Asking herself if she is being paranoid or if she should still be on guard was her biggest choice. Noelle seemed too genuine for her upon her reaction, so Scarlet didn’t doubt her. Now though she was faced with whether she should try to survive for herself or put her faith in others. In the end she compromised and played it ‘cool’. Or so she hoped.
