Somewhat relieved by the fact that she, at least, had the right person, Aura nodded gratefully and slid into a seat opposite him in the booth. She carefully removed her tan beret and set it gently on the table next to her, allowing her blonde hair to spill out. Messy though it was, she supposed that if this was her soulmate, he should get a good look at as much of her as she could show. She sounded out his name, as he'd said it, in her mind and, after a moment, locked it in. It wasn't hard to pronounce names for her, once she'd heard someone else say it at least. She offered a smile at that, replying "[color=1a7b30]Yeah, I get that a lot about my name, not sure where my folks got it.[/color]" She did grin at his comment on her rank, since it seemed that at least meant that he wasn't going to go off on some anti-military schpiel. In all honesty, that had been one of her initial fears, but thankfully that at least had come up in her favor. 

"[color=1a7b30]Oh, it's not that impressive really, I went to college first so I came in as a Second Lieutenant anyways, just one promotion in eight years is actually kind of a bad record. Anyway, I I'm an infantry officer in the 75th Rangers. So, you're a programmer huh? That's really neat! I wanted to be a programmer in college, but wound up switching over to a Military Science major. What kind of stuff do you usually program?[/color]" She was genuinely curious about what a freelance programmer could get up to since, as far as she knew, freelancers didn't usually get much work. Then again, she wasn't exactly an aficionado of the computer industry, so in order to get the intel she wanted her best bet was just to ask the man himself.
