Ash was already there when Corban had opened the door, tapping his foot impatiently against the stark white floor as he leaned against the wall. Ash, when he first got the idea to head for Echo, was excited. Excited to put his energy towards something righteous, excited to go out and see the world, excited to be able to meet some friends who could keep up with him. But that excitement slowly transformed into frustration over the course of his first week of 'training.' He had to take some boring tests, he ate with an ever shifting group of people that he knew he wouldn't be seeing much of again, and worst of all he always had to wake up early for the whole rigamarole. If it was for REAL training, he wouldn't be [i]happy[/i] about waking at the crack of dawn, but he'd get it. He did [i]not[/i] get waking up that early for a personality test. How would that even help in their fight against the Lost?

But he had hopes today would be different. They were actually meeting in a room labeled 'training' for one, and the note about it was gruff, clearly from a new instructor called Efran. Ash assumed he was the kind of person to really kick things into gear, start really working on taking on the lost, so Ash followed his instructions. Got to the training room a little early, in-fact, eager to start. But he was getting frustrated fast. The room didn't hold anything, or anyone, in it when Ash first entered, except for a mirror and some weird beeping box. Ash didn't want to investigate, having broken something similar fairly recently on the ship trying to understand it. So, he just sat against the wall, and tapped his foot.

When the door opened, Ash was about to exclaim "Finally." However, it still wasn't Efran. Ash recognized this person, it was Corban. At the least talking to them would pass the time, even if it definitely wouldn't excuse the teacher of demanding they all be their on time and missing the date himself.

[color=f26522]"Hey, Corban!"[/color] Ash greeted, easing off the wall and walking over to his raven-feathered acquaintance. [color=f26522]"You been hating all this red tape stuff as much as I am? We've been here a whole week and haven't even gotten put into teams for the real training yet!"[/color]
