I see."[/color] Aleen'a simply muttered upon Viktor's answer. She was expecting he'd say something like that but it was still very sad to hear. To abandon your teammates for the sake of the mission, such sacrifice would be hard to do for a Tamaranean that values fellowship among everything. She vowed to herself that she would at least try to save her friends to the best of her abilities. If she couldn't, well, the guilt within her won't allow her to stand idly by and just watch as her friends were in danger anyway. Once they were dismissed, Aleen'a went back to gear up for the mission. She loved how everyone kept their merry spirits despite the danger they might face. She had always seen average humans as overall physically weak but mentally resilient, and she admired them for it. Anyways, Aleen'a put on a grey and white bodysuit, boots, and arm guards. She didn't put on a coat or jacket as Tamaraneans were naturally resistant to extreme temperatures and she didn't want to be weighed down by heavy clothing. She also brought many first aid kits and put them in a big medicinal bag as well. As the Warlords of Okaara would always say: to be ready for anything, one must train for everything. As for the rest of the waiting time, Aleen'a spent hers reviewing the mission once more and, while no one's looking, spread peanut butter on some leftover pizza slices and ate them. During the trip, she happily ate the sandwich Daphne made for her, she needed all the energy she could get especially since it'll be night by the time they get to their destination. She loved how thoughtful she was to her; even though the number of times they interacted with each other was scarce, Aleen'a could tell she was a lovely individual. She couldn't help but worry about Daphne though especially back at that awful incident in the obstacle course weeks ago. She hoped she would be alright and Aleen'a will always be there for her friends whenever. She spent the rest of their trip psyching herself up, meditating to calm her nerves and remind herself that things just got a lot more serious. This wasn't a fun little exercise anymore, lives were at stake here. If Koriand'r made Aleen'a join the team to solve her boredom, it was working much more than she thought it would. [hr] Thankfully, the teams managed to arrive at their mission's location in one piece. She left her medicinal bag within the ship and joined the others outside. Brightheart had only ever seen snow-covered trees in holiday-themed movies and she would've loved to take a picture of them as remembrance, but she reminded herself that she's on a mission. Like the rest, she put on her gadgets and also put on this grey-colored cap that kept her bright red hair within at the last minute. She figured an alien with golden skin, blue eyes, and red hair would stick out way too much in such a white and grey environment, especially when she's flying up in the night sky. All that was missing were a pair of flippers and Aleen'a looked like she was going to take a swim in feets-high snow. When Talon spoke to the groups, Brightheart was touched. When Rain spoke to the groups, she was a little disappointed. These boys were really confusing her. She thought one boy was scarier than the other then it turned out the boy wasn't scary at all, and now the other boy got less scary while the other was suddenly back to being scary. Human boys were so much more confusing than this thing called human math. She raised her hand up to speak. [color=ec008c]"I suppose we should ask for your permission for breakings in the bathing room or are we expected to hold our excrements in until the mission ends?"[/color] Brightheart, from the bottom of her genuine, sincere, naive heart, asked Talon and Rain.
