He was surprised as to how he'd reacted to his witty remark, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for Olivia beside him. Either way, everyone at some point would get this "Piece of Schulz" that he already had threatened Grant about. It was whether or not they were going to get used to it and use his strength to fix their weaknesses. Grant knew that he would at least try to manipulate that system, but he had no clue how he was going to do that. Well, that is what training is for, in the end. Besides, he had enough time to get things into formation, depending on how long he'd last for. Once the groups began to scatter into smaller directions, Olivia managed to subtly gather four individuals, Grant, Gabriel, Reese and herself. Reese and Grant had known each other quite a bit since the Wall had fallen, but not as much as Olivia did. The same went for himself. Both of them knew Olivia more than each other, but the training sessions were likely to change that. Everyone who'd stay in the Cadets long enough were likely going to do the same. Olivia approached him first, poking fun at the name he'd been called. Though, it was only natural for Grant to joke back, as humour was his forte amongst all things. Grant closed his eyes, held a tight fist to his chest like a courteous Lord and held a royal grin. [color=Silver][b]"Pfft...Someone is jealous that Mr Lucky here gets a nice, burly man with a great personality and..."[/b][/color] Before long, he suddenly erupted into a small laughing fit, shedding a tear of delight to his own witty banter. Slowly, he began to calm himself down. [color=Silver][b]"Honestly...I couldn't say that with a straight face, even with my abilities...But hey...Pretty boy is something I've never been called before. I'll take my chances. Better than being called the wrong gender."[/b][/color] He flashed a 'No-Harm-Done' grin towards Reese, already hearing his witty comment towards Gabriel's pet-name. It was kind of upsetting in a way. A circus freak, though Grant hardly got picked up on his height, despite the similarities. Grant knew better than to joke about his side of Schulz's insulting name-calling due to Reese already going ahead and doing so. The humour needed to be fresh enough for it to be comedic and consistent, but the fact that he'd already reacted in a friendly, yet hostile, way meant that it wasn't the safest thing to joke about either. Gabriel was somewhat of a good person to be around sometimes, due to his mask of calmness, but either way the two hadn't spent as long as the other two did with Grant. At least the enlisted together, making a more welcomed environment than there was for some of the other Cadets. [color=Silver][b]"Heh...Two titans amongst mice, eh?"[/b][/color] He nudged Gabriel's side gently with his elbow, folding his own arms back as he grinned back at the other two smaller friends. Everyone else was mostly in a similar spot, where they were smaller, but most likely more nimble than everyone else. However, speed would need to be matched with the skills of the gear they'd be trained to use, which Grant hoped he could balance himself out on nicely, being of a moderate speed. The two began to head in some random direction, as if a flock of sheep all eager to find entertainment in an empty field. Grant speculated that Olivia was going to get them something to eat, knowing her appetite for literally anything. And before he could ask himself, she spoke the words already. [color=a2d39c][b]"That felt like it lasted forever, didn't it? You three must be starving."[/b][/color] [color=Silver][b]"I think [i]he[/i] makes it feel like forever. I wouldn't take anything the instructor would say to heart though. Mateo used to talk shit about his old Chief Instructor all the time, about how they were all flash, no fury. I'm not saying this guy has no fury, but I presume he's gonna try and get the best out of us by searching for the worst we already have. In my case, he's already caught onto the fact I knew that..."[/b][/color] He shook a small amount of dust from his uniform, always being the one to try and look the best part that he was able to look. [color=Silver][b]"Could go for a snack...Could not...I dunno, seeing as you usually judge whether I'm hungry or not. Sooooo, am I hungry, Olivia?"[/b][/color]
