[u][b]Cornet Von Nyon [/b][/u]

The Cornet had caught the dislike and skepticism in the captain's tone, not all the words he understood but the fact that it was a recap was clear. He would have attempted to make him self better in the Captain's eyes but the words weren't there. Instead he just nodded, gave one last parade ground salute spun and departed to find his accommodations.

Von Nyon was embarrassed by what was said about his country, but he didn't show it. To say something with his thick German accent would just give another thing to point out. Instead he glared back at the NCO, straightened his back amd stood to his impressive height. Still at attention he listened to the Lieutenant reprimand the NCO. Johann was thankful he didn't understand all the words as he was still learning the language but the point was clear. At that moment Johann promised to watch Karras' back. Relief briefly shone in the Cornet's eyes, to be replaced by a thankful look. This quick flash of emotion was only seen by the Lieutenant. 

Johann put him self hard to work during the training, to prove to himself, his father, and his men that he would lead by example, and that he wasn't afraid to get dirty. Maybe that was discouraged by his superiors. But Johann figured that he wouldn't be fighting along side the Lieutenant, but instead his men. He planned that when possible he would meet his men and get their loyalty, and earn their trust. But Johann still kept the line that separates the average grunt from the officer clear. A couple of times the Cornet came close to breaking but he didn't let it show, what use is an officer who can't keep himself together. After the first day of training Von Nyon seeked out the Lieutenant to introduce himself.

At night after the trainings Von Nyon focused on learning the language, and so he read and talked. The Cornet rarely left the building, except when it was required.
