Spark watched as everyone else seemed to get worked up over Vlad's disciplinary measures. She was no stranger to getting beaten up but there really wasn't any reason to disobey the old man in the first place. From Spark's point of view it was their own fault for rattling the bars on their cage. Alastair's interjection was interesting though. He wanted to lead their squad? She didn't really think him the type of person but she was glad she wasn't being given the responsibility. The last thing she needed was to be responsible for a bunch of idealistic brats. She could tell that most of them had probably never even held a weapon with the intention of using it before, let alone actually killed someone. They were all so innocent and childish in her eyes. Spark learned early on that the harsh reality is that most everyone is in it for themselves and worrying about what is 'right' and what is 'wrong' was a waste of time. Living to see tomorrow is the only thing she cares about. Next to that fighting and killing was a small price to pay. She took another drag and leaned back in her chair. "For fuck's sake, you dumb shits signed a contract and all you do is complain the whole damn time? None of you are in jail getting butt-fucked by your cell mates, you're going to get the best training in the world, you have no bills to pay, and to top it off you've been given crazy ass fantastical powers!" she took another drag from her cigarette. "It's no surprise the old man wants beat your sorry asses. You all think that this is play time at Uncle Vlad's Playhouse but it's not. We're here to become soldiers not whiny little bitches who can't follow directions. You're all a fuckin' disgrace."

"I never signed a contract. I wasn't 'old enough' to make that decision so my father did for me. it was all for 'the sake of my safety.'" Adalina clarified as though it gave her reason to be defiant. "Next time, before you shoot off your mouth, consider the situation. I'm obviously younger than you and clearly don't belong."
