Koehler, at 'Dismissed', began to move back to his quarters to train his close-quarters capability. While walking out, he pondered on the members of his unit. Camden, Krista, Paris, and himself. He thought on Paris a bit more.

Whenever Alyssa was close to Paris, he could swear he was acting strangely. Love-struck? Had a little bit of a crush? That was a distinct possibility. She was pretty cute. Seemed to be Paris' 'type'. While walking he quietly maneuvered towards Camden and spoke, also changing his direction. [color=fff79a]"Hey, care to have a private conversation? Would you please come with me towards that little silent room? I just want to talk about the squad in general is all."[/color]

That, and he was going to notify her, if it would be okay. Who knows, perhaps she thinks Paris is a cute guy as well. Koehler might not 'get any' but he might as well help his buddies out. His friend. Koehler wouldn't even be mentally fit to 'get any' on any meaningful level for a long while anyway. He was a bit broken. He knew this.

He sort of wondered whether he would die on the field, and if he should. This really was surreal, being trained as a soldier. Aren't soldiers just tools, to be discarded? Would [i]any[/i] of them be able to live normal lives after this? Yeshua couldn't. Koehler couldn't.

Maybe he won't, but he'll do his damnedest to make sure the others had that chance. Yeah, that's something Koehler can do.
