[color=f26522]"Eh?"[/color]

Hana stared at Taidan with a blank look. Its blankness lasted only for a brief second, however, as it grew incredulous when she wondered where he came from. That's right, the guy was capable of some flexible mobility with his equipment. Several Huntsmen seemed to carry around such equipment, and it seemed pretty convenient at times. She wouldn't ever compliment them out loud, though- it seemed awfully pointless and chummy, especially if it came from her.

His casual appearance wasn't much of an issue, though she'd be lying if she said it didn't startle her.

She blinked when she heard Sterling's voice as she glanced at him, almost unnerved at his more literal "casual appearance."

[color=f26522]"Eh??"[/color]

A boatswain with a Master's degree in Food Chem- how did both of them know about-?

Whatever.

[color=f26522][i]Well, now I know boats sure aren't my deal,[/i][/color] she thought wryly.

These guys sure knew how to make an entrance, though.

Her silver, sunglasses-wearing teammate asked if she had an issue. Issues? Well, she had tons of issues! Heck, most of her standardized essays were just nitpicking off her issues! Most of them were just insignificant to complain about, thus she kept them all to herself. Talking about what was important had become somewhat of a focal point for her conversations, especially back at Mistral.

[color=f26522]"I don't have an issue,"[/color] she mumbled.

…

…

…

[color=f26522]"...Okay, maybe I do,"[/color] she sighed, almost uncharacteristically so. As she remembered who she was talking to, the energy within her suddenly flared as she added in, [color=f26522]"It's nothing important though, so don't rub it in!!"
[/color]

She knew they probably didn't mean any ill intent, but that didn't mean she shouldn't let her guard down! As the leader of the team, especially one so full of energy, she had no intent on falling behind that department.

Hana's flare died down a little as she turned back to the oceans, burying the bottom half of her face into her elbows again to hide her cheeks. Sarina was probably elsewhere drinking tea or something...

[color=f26522]"Hey,"[/color] she said out loud, staring down the brilliant blue in front of her with her orange gaze as she slowly lifted her face out of her elbows.

A brief pause came, her gaze softer than before. She was terrible at this whole "socializing with the team" aspect because, quite frankly, there was no room for that back in Mistral. But these guys were terrible at lying, so surely hearing her out would be the best compensation!

Not that she thought they were aware of that, but heck, she was their leader! She could talk about whatever she wanted, right?

...Right.

[color=f26522]"You all were in Beacon for the most part, right?"[/color] Hana asked. [color=f26522]"You ever get the feeling to just... get really impatient? So much to the point where you just want to explode with it. You better be honest!"[/color]
