Noru's forehead twitched as Flin started to strum away on his little instrument. He wasn't a fan of music or [i]lollygagging.[/i] This was a royal Caravan with an [i]extremely important[/i] mission, no doubt. The last thing he needed was some buffoonish moron distracting him and his other companions with such a boorish melody. Marilyn on the other hand showed absolutely no interest in Flin's music. She did turn her head towards Noru with a subtle frown though, looking right past Flin in the process and shrugging off his smile. Noru didn't notice. He still had his back turned to both of them, only half visible past the edge of the Caravan's rear corner.

	The person that approached them however, was not Major General Norwell. Another man was making his way across the Barracks leisurely, allowing both arms to sway at his sides. It was their Captain-To-Be, [b]Zay Copp[/b]. The man was not nearly as experienced as Noru, nor was he as well known as famous knights like Sir Norwell or Lieutenant Colonel [i]Yvette Eridal.[/i] Unbeknownst to his new team though, Sir Copp had already been assigned to Centaurus as their [i]Captain.[/i] The man chosen to lead them while outside of the City walls was closing in on his new team slowly, but...

	"Oi, Noru," Zay called out lazily, offering Sir Peril a gentle wave with his left hand. Noru's eyes widened and his entire body went stiff. "Nice to be working with you again." Noru didn't share the sentiment. Marilyn turned towards Zay as well, but only for a moment before returning her attention to the Venbu. She moved closer to one of their faces, and began to inspect them closely. Most thought they disgusting. Miss Lia thought they were [i]cute.[/i] Zay quickly made his way to the center of the group long before Noru could object. The Captain looked pretty meek overall. His skin was [i]very[/i] pale, and his hair was completely white like an old man's, but he didn't look a day over 25. Sharp features, an unimposing muscular structure, and... No shirt. His entire upper body was uncovered, though he did wear a small sash around his neck with Arcadia's royal insignia positioned in the center with his name and rank just underneath it. He turned his head to the left, and then to the right. "Is everyone already here?" He called out loudly, looking the five nearby knights over slowly, "I'm gonna be doing role-call in a few minutes, so..." He reached into one of the pockets of his standard issue pants and pulled out a small piece of paper with a bunch of stuff scribbled on it neatly. The paper it self was crumpled and folded though. Zay wasn't really one for neatness or professionalism, it seemed.

	Marilyn quickly tiptoed away from the Venbu as soon as she heard the words 'role-call' remembering her superior officer's last lesson very [i]vividly.[/i] '[i]Don't ever lag behind in role-call again missy, don't you dare[/i]'. The order still gave her chills. Noru didn't share her apparent enthusiasm, though. He spun towards Zay and crossed his arms impatiently. If this was going to go anything like his previous experience with Captain Copp...
