[b]Samuel Drake - Squad 17[/b]

Hearing the first voice calling out to him, Samuel sighed inwardly once again. It sounded like such a cheerful voice... And that was going to be a drag, he could already tell. Turning, Samuel was about to reluctantly make his reply to the-- narrowing his eyes ever so slightly, he was briefly confused. The voice had sounded so feminine, and yet the person standing before him appeared like a boy his age. Giving the person a curious once-over, Samuel was confident that he had not seen them in the boy's cabin, meaning his first suspicion must have been correct. Quickly shifting his eyes back up to the...girl's... face, Samuel locked eyes with her and simply nodded as a response. The expression on his face remained entirely neutral, and he only hoped that Terry didn't decide to start asking him more questions.

The second voice saved him, at least for the moment, as Joseph appeared. Nodding again when Joseph asked if they were ready, Samuel turned his attention towards the instructors, awaiting their next orders. He was already dreading the thought of getting onto the horses, and only hoped that most of the route they'd be able to go without... If only he were that lucky.
