[center][h3]Private Elise Louque[/h3][/center]

Elise turned to look at the man, raising an eyebrow. Was this another private with no understanding of who should and shouldn’t give orders in the army? After being recruited by a PFC, it wouldn’t surprise her in the slightest.  What kind of squad had she been thrown into? 

[b]“Your bad hearing is not my problem.”[/b] She finally said, addressing his second issue. [i]“I’d suggest you get it checked out though. I never said I’d go alone. In fact, I specifically asked for other snipers. Nor did I mention leaving the building. Besides, I’m a sniper. I’m not sure if you’ve ever heard of the concept before, but we do get specialized training.” [/i]

The poor man had probably been too close to one explosion too many, or taken a hit to the head he shouldn’t have. She didn’t want to make fun of him in front of his squad, but he’d started it. They definitely would have a problem with each other from now on though, his decision, because she wasn’t one to forgive.

[b]“Sorry, my bad.”[/b] Elise said, ignoring the man and turning to her sergeant to offer her hand. [b]“My name is Elise Louque. It’s my first time in the field, so this is all a bit overwhelming for me.”[/b] It was hopefully a good enough excuse that they’d believe her.
