Blake was once again, rather amused when both the guard and the dark-haired girl responded to Blair's comment about a blanket in a serious matter. Miss 'Do not get in my way' attempted to elaborate on what she meant, but he could not help but feel that something was off about everything else she was saying. Shaming someone else for having no teamwork skills while admitting that one is also the same was sort of asking for it. When Blair addressed him again, he nodded with a contemplative smile.

"You're probably right. Thanks for the advice, that is quite sweet of you, but I can't be protected forever. It's better for me to learn more about the two of you here and now, than at some place and time that's less... convenient. After all, as pointed out several times already, we're going to have to work together."

Blake put his glass down as the girls resumed their argument. [i]There they go again...[/i] He was certain that this animosity was going to continue throughout their training and eventually, the missions they would be assigned. It was not as if either of them seemed to have a soft spot for him for that matter, but the two were clearly rivals. He glanced over to one of the guards, shooting a nonverbal signal that nothing good was going to come out of letting this continue any longer.
