[b][u]The Paintball Field:[/b][/u]

Leila agreed and Harper lit up. "We'll show Inadi what we're capable of," he narrowed his eyes at his friend then smiled. They were all growing close, and even Ran and Toby had become a part of their dysfunctional family. Moments like this (where they were all happy) were ones Harper cherished.

The boy heard Breeze explaining and turned to look at her, she was putting on various equipment and showing them how it was done.

A shot resounded throughout the room and he flinched, turning around to see Leila on the ground and a pink spot on the wall. Breeze helped her up then suggested they use lighter guns. His eyes went to a few pistols and smaller rifle, it reminded him of the SSF.

Jasper was starring intently at Breeze, probably to make sure they got all the safety rules down, and Lesley, he was admiring the paint on the wall. He placed a hand on Leila's shoulders and beamed. "Hey look, we've got an artist." The pink-haired man couldn't help but laugh, she was just like a cute puppy. He made a mental note to look after her when the game started. Speaking of the game, Est and Breeze were on the same team...

"Now, now, that wouldn't be very fair, would it?" One of the soldiers waltzed in, he was in a red visor and vest. It was Aiden, the demolition man from the 12th platoon. "And by best team, you mean the red team, right?" He flashed them all a cheeky grin then waved at both Est and Breeze. "Fancy seeing you two here, I thought the Lieutenant had you guys on guide duty--oh, top of the mornin' to ya, humans." He bounced on the heels of his feet, tipped his hat, and gave them all a gentlemanly bow. "Lizzie and I wanted to get some training done, talk about timing, aye?" 

He sauntered towards the humans and slung an arm around both Lesley's and Inadi's shoulders. "Speaking about timing, I hear you're going against Berit? It's a good thing Lizzie and I arrived or oh boy...you'd spitting paint for cycles to come. Not to worry, you can join our team." For a soldier, he seemed quite childish. The man nodded his head. "Yes, yes, the blue team can't compare, right Lizzie?"

"It's Lizbeth," she ignored her fellow soldier's words then nodded at the humans in greeting. "Est, Breeze, good to see you both." she didn't say anything else, it didn't look like she was much of a talker.

Aiden's lips quirked up in amusement, "oh, where are my manners. Aidan's the name, don't forget it soooo tall girl with pink hair, shorty, and..." he jabbed a finger in Leila's direction, "pale girl, you three will be with us. Let's give private Berit and Mrs. Berit a run for their money, yeah?" There was a flash of competitiveness in the nobody's eyes. "Or if you'd rather, we can have three teams and Lizzie and I can kick your butts to next Saturdusk." 

He didn't really give the humans a chance to answer and soon he was shoving weapons into their hands.

Aiden gave Harper's vest a tap and a health bar appeared on his shoulder. "Give your vests a tap. If it reaches zero then you're out of the game, it's simple enough." He grabbed a few pain grenades and clipped them onto his belt. "C'mon Berit, now's not the time to take a nap!"

Lizbeth turned to look at the humans and Breeze with a cold expression. "Sorry, about him."

"Oi, c'mon! Are you old folks or what? Chop-chop, put some legwork into it." 

Harper turned to look at Lesley and Leila then shrugged. Despite Aiden's brash behavior, he was still looking forward to the friendly game. Besides, it was just a friendly game, so what could go wrong?
