Alannah was still formulating her reply to the other two women when the announcement came through. She flinched at the unexpected noise in spite of herself - it was ridiculous, but hearing the words of people who were nowhere near her was still something that unnerved her. Had there been any other news, she might have wrinkled her face in frustration at the weakness of her reaction, but instead a wide grin broke across her features.

[color=00aeef]"[i]Finally![/i]"[/color] Without waiting for Evelyn or Demetria, Alannah tossed the book aside and took off running, out of the Common Area and down the hallway, half-skipping with excitement. An assignment! An actual, giant-blessed battle to fight. A chance for Alannah to be good at something, to be something other than the slowest, least-informed person in the room. As she ran, she sang in her native tongue:

[color=00aeef]"[i]Step we mighty,
Fletch your bow,
We march to war,
To hot and bloody war![/i]"[/color]

She half-slid into the briefing room, still grinning like a little girl. [color=00aeef]"Who are we killing?!"[/color] she shouted without waiting to see who was inside.
