Aura rolled over onto her back, panting with exhaustion from her just completed workout routine. The local park that played host to her workout was fairly cool today, and she was grateful for it. She kept up a harsh PT schedule for herself, refusing to allow her ability to slip down the ladder. This, combined with her frequent visits to the range, kept her at her standards as a Ranger, just in case she ever got called to duty. That was something she always needed to keep in mind of course, she could always be called up to serve in combat again, and if the time came, she really wanted to be ready. That said, this very same readiness was somewhat depressing, as this same readiness kept her on her superiors list in the National Guard. She shook her head and, to steady herself a bit, she looked down at her wrist once more. Written on her wrist was a date, today in fact, when she would meet her soul mate, and she frowned slightly at this. The name was written in Norwegian, as Google Translate had helpfully provided.

She shook her head at the growing frown on her face as she got up, stretching out and yawning slightly. She shouldn't think about these things, it wasn't helpful in the slightest. So, she headed home to clean up before going out on the town for the day. She knew perfectly well there wasn't any escaping meeting her soul mate on her special day, so hiding in her house just raised the chances of it being something..distasteful. At her own home, she showered and cleaned herself carefully, wanting to at least seem like she was a high-class person. After cleaning up, she carefully dressed herself in her Army uniform, her Ranger patch proudly positioned in its usual place. Her tan beret went on to cover her hair as she turned to walk from her house, but stopped at the last second. She strapped her .45, a Colt, in its place on her hip and made sure to bring her wallet, and her gun permits with it. After all, she didn't want to get arrested and find her soul-mate in a jail cell.

Striding out of her house, she headed off towards a local cafe. She was really hungry after all her working out after all, and a cafe seemed a likely place to meet her soulmate. So, she headed off to a local diner she'd heard good things about, and decided to give it a go. After all, it had really good reviews on Yelp. So, she strode into the little cafe and sat down in a booth, smiling lightly to herself. A waitress came by, offering her a menu, and asking what she wanted to drink. Aura ordered a tea and a burger, then leaned back in the booth, smiling lightly at the promise of coming food.
