After her talk with Veronica and Lily, Eris was left wondering the reason why the Militia was so badly equipped when compared to the regular military. Though, the answer seemed to be an obvious one, [i][color=de3163]"Galia isn't so different from the Empire, the aristocracy still thinks the commoners are nothing but stepping stones."[/color][/i]

Such a thought caused Eris to grow as stiff as a board once a member of the very social class she was thinking of approached their squad. Thankfully for her, Lord Barst left as quickly as he came. Not before holding an impromptu commendation ceremony for the senior members of the Squad and giving them all a weekend-long leave at Randgriz.

The last thing Eris noticed as she joined the rest of the squad in her trip to get her belongings ready (thankfully she hadn't even unpacked anything yet) was the badge of the Galian Military Intelligence Service on Brast's uniform. This was enough to cause her to sigh a sigh of relief once she reached the showers. There's no telling what could happen if her Imperial origins were to be revealed, after all this was the main reason why Eris and her sister declined officer promotions after finishing college. She could only hope that being assigned to Squad 04 wouldn't put her in a bad position.

[color=de3163]"You guys certainly are a lucky group, aren't you?"[/color] Eris asked in a nonchalant way as she set aside the very same luggage she brought with her yesterday and joined Lily.

A glance at the blonde's face made her apprehension obvious, though Eris couldn't be certain of the reason behind it. For a moment, the silver-haired girl wondered if she should ask Lily about it or not. But given their previous talk, Eris felt that she could at least give try.

After a momentary pause to gauge how she would approach Lily, Eris asked in a way similar to the one she used when she needed to approach of her students, [color=de3163]"You seem to be a bit nervous. If you don't mind me asking, is there something bothering you?"[/color]
