After securing her luggage, which was relatively light, Linda made her way to their RV where she found Hunt and a few other members of the squad. She decided that although she was not able to take her rifle, she was at least going to take the combat knife she had on this trip, for more than one reason of course. One by one, she saw them all trickling over here with the last one being Evan. Though she found his tardiness amusing, she noted that he may be more unreliable to stick with a time than the others. After that observation, however, Linda was able to observe the comrades she will be serving under. 

First was the Lance Corporal. Reinhardt, she thought she saw on her name tag earlier. Given her title and if what the rumors said were true, the silver-hair, crimson eyed girl would have heard a lot about what the officers are planning next. What was it called again? The lance corporal underground? Yes, that has to be right! However, despite her rank and title Linda noticed Reinhardt carried slight nervousness toward Lord Barst earlier. That, and her name sounded like it was something Imperial like Linda's own. That by itself, however, was not something to be alarmed about, as Imperial names were still decently common in Gallia due to various immigrants perhaps generations ago, like Linda's own. Still, Linda noticed the girl's endowment and couldn't help but feel admiration but also jealousy. [i]Wow, she is pretty! I would like to use those as a pillow one day, just to see if I can.[/i] Shaking the devious thought away, Linda turned her thoughts to the next person.

The next was Evan. She already developed her opinion from before, but his tardiness enhanced it. Furthermore, he seemed to be one of the few men in the squad. This made Linda wonder how the squad was going to act with the massive amount of women here with so few men on top of less discipline than the conventional military. Still, they did perform well in combat as proven by the medals so there was not too much worry in that department. But what if.....what if they had to leave someone behind or worse? Before she could get too pessimistic, Linda moved her thoughts to the next member.

The next was one of the other men in the squad, the corporal. Otherwise known as corporal Hunt, Linda observed him and immediately knew he had some kind of bond with another squadmate, Jatmoore. One had to be blind to not see that, though Linda could not be too sure of what kind of relationship they had immediately. Otherwise, Hunt himself seemed alright, at least so far with his behavior. That could change, but Linda will give him the benefit of the doubt for now until she had more information.

Then there was Jatmoore, at least that is what the nametag and Lord Barst said. Right away, Linda could tell she was an elegant piece of work, but her excitement for the situation compared to what the others reacted with proved enough that she was ignorant of the ways of the world. She did not seem to understand that if something good happened without having shown significant effort, there was a catch to it. Even if they performed at Vasel, Linda did not think the militia squad would have been given a trip to Randgriz just like that. Maybe R&R, but not something that elegant. Still, she will learn at some point and it did seem she had at least some combat experience. However her ignorance, she was still over Linda in that department in the least.

The next was Callaway, who she only knew via her tag. Judging by her limited interaction with the others, Linda would guess she was new too though couldn't be certain. Other than that, her brown hair and eyes were certainly normal, unlike Reinhardt's features. Not much else could be discerned from her at this time, though Linda's opinion would surely change later.

The next was another male, Gosling. Once again only knowing via the name tag, she did not have much observation of him except for the fact that he was a bit skinny and carried a big gun. It was laughable, but Linda did not outwardly laugh for that would be a bad ordeal. It was just amusing to see, though the colored plates would be a bad idea for stealth purposes.

With the initial assessment of the squad done, the driver arrived and picked them up. When they got to the train station Linda noticed Carn on luggage duty. Of course he was, he was the strongest-looking here. Despite this, Linda refused help with her own luggage and loaded up. Though Linda has rarely seen a train in her life aside from pictures, she couldn't say she was excited for the ride. This was the Militia after all, and it was just a train. A mode of transportation that would take them to Randgriz. Lilly's excitement was obvious as she seemed to have finally abandoned her lady-like behavior as Linda was taking a seat that was for the most part alone. However, she observed and overheard parts of the interaction between Reinhardt and Jatmoore. When Linda saw Reinhardt waving Hunt over and excusing herself, that made Linda worried based on her prior observations and her own paranoid thinking. If her suspicions were true, that meant that Hunt and Jatmoore were in more than a friendship, or at least were developing such. That would also be Linda's luck hitting her right in the face again, but it could also be possible that Reinhardt was simply trying to set them up for more interaction or it is an elaborate prank. Maybe she was thinking too hard on the situation; with her luck as it has been lately it would make sense if she was doing so. 

There was only one way to know for sure what was going on and put her fears at ease, or reveal them to be true. It was also an opportunity to get to know someone else in the squad besides Evan Carn a bit more personally, so that was two birds with one stone. When Reinhardt asked for any other requests, Linda shot up with [color=00aeef]"I'll go with you. I need a walk anyway."[/color] She was sitting down for a long time before arriving at the fort, she surely needed something to catch her up. Not leaving any room for denial, she got up quickly to accompany Reinhardt.
