Valorie dropped her salute at the word of the colonel and relaxed her pose to standing steady with her arms held behind her back casually. [color=a187be]“Thank you, Ma’am.”[/color] she responded in kind. Her first impression of Emilia was positive for now as it seemed the colonel could create a proper feeling of authority. Still, the bandaged man was making Valorie curious even if she knew it was impolite to try and discern why he would need the bandages as well as who he may be as a person himself. These thoughts were cut short by the introduction of William. She couldn’t recall who he was, and nor did she care for the way he entered much like Emilia. Respect for command, after all, made a military function properly. If everyone took their own initiative strategies and plans would fall apart, not that there is never a situation to argue or challenge an order. Those situations you simply hope to not come across. He also was using a chalkboard, and couldn’t help but think as to how this mission play out with someone who seemingly may be mute. Gresham produced a different reaction though as Valorie missed his lack of order as she went through the moment of recognizing him. While Valorie wished to respond, and even opened her mouth slightly to do so she was cut short by Emilia’s voice and her response to the two men. Valorie raised an eyebrow for the moment that Emilia mentioned order making Amestians into the superior species. For now though, Valorie would take that as Emilia’s pride for her country rather than anything extreme. Taking a glance afterwards to the man she knew she said nodded once to at least single her recognition, but also as a way to say if he wishes to talk it will need to come a bit later after their meeting is done. After Emilia motioned, Valorie would sit at the closest seat on the table. She didn’t take any drinks for herself as of the moment and found her hands weaved together resting below but not touching her chin. With the words that Emilia was a medic Valorie felt a bit surprised. Amestrian alchemy and healing properties weren’t usually connected, but Valorie had read once about the supposed healing powers of Alchehestry. With that Valorie concluded it wasn’t too farfetched that someone may have figured out how to use Alchemy in the medical field. A few seconds after Emilia finished Valorie started her introduction. [color=a187be]“I guess I shall go next, I am Major Valorie E. Falkner, the Quicksilver alchemist. I specialize in metal alchemy.”[/color] The back of her hands showed tattooed alchemy circles like many alchemists would aim to do with either a glove or tattoo themselves. [color=a187be]“It’s a pleasure to meet you all.”[/color] She added at the end as her head rested on her hands not to listen to whoever would speak next. Valorie could have said something about her father if they didn’t know her directly, but she rejected that idea the moment it came to her mind.
