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

Riding up alongside his teammates, Samuel stayed slightly to the side, still hesitant around them. He did not respond when Terry asked him if he had spoken, it seemed like they had all gotten the point anyways. Listening closely as the girl spoke, Samuel kept his gaze on the rock formation. The instructors were too far away to make out anything in great detail, but the whole thing seemed off somehow...

His eyes widening slightly at Terry's suggestion, Samuel turned back to face her. Thinking about it for a moment, he realized that it was actually quite a good idea. Splitting up meant that there would be less risk of all of them being caught in a trap, but it also meant that whoever went to scout would be putting themselves at risk instead. All in all, it didn't really sound like a situation he wanted to be in. But then again... glancing over at the other two members in his squad, Samuel thought about what it would be like to be stuck, alone, with either of them. 

Joseph seemed quiet enough, and like the kind of person who wouldn't try and start up a personal conversation. He also seemed, however, like the kind of person who would volunteer for such a scouting mission, which would leave Samuel alone with Terry... While he still didn't know much about either of his teammates, Samuel didn't doubt that the girl would attempt to start up a friendly conversation the instant Joseph went ahead. That left him with two options, he could volunteer to scout ahead, or... he could stay and be forced into a frightening personal conversation. 

Gripping the reins of his horse tightly, Samuel chose the lesser of two evils, and began walking his horse forwards, towards the rock formation.
