'Mr. Reinhart', the male Amara had addressed, was quite the imposing figure himself and such was not simply because he stood a lot taller than her, but also because one could easily start a debate about which thing was actually bigger: the man's beard or his belly ? Mr. Reinhart was still a soldier formally, but it hardly took a second guess to figure out that the only weapons he still used to bear were the seemingly endless stacks of parchment in the military's administration and even then it was dubious whether he did so over any distance longer than the inside of his office. He was a man clearly past his prime, but that did not stop him from feeling, and probably being, quite important still.

"Who are you ? Did the guards at the entrace not pay attention yet another time or how does it come someone like you is here ? I've learned to tell who's a soldier and who isn't at first glance and you don't seem to belong to the first category!" were the words Mr. Reinhart was not hesitant to hurl at his guest. The sheer amount of scepticism he brought along was hard to miss as he looked down on her, inspecting her small frame up and down with his small eyes deeply embedded in their respective sockets. Mr. Reinhart's face had become adorned with many wrinkles, but he still maintained the posture of a soldier. This also was [i]his[/i] place, and he would not let anyone in who had not been authorized!

Valentin was quite a few yards away from the uneven duo and feeling increasingly worried about the fact that the training had already begun a bunch of minutes ago, but he still could not spot anybody who could be his future companion. It took a sudden change of orders from the officer leading the column of trainees behind him that opened a gap in their ranks, finally allowing Valentin to see what was happening at the yard's outer rim again. Amara was hard to miss for she looked just so out of place here while also fitting what little information he had been given beforehand. And Valentin could immediately tell she was in trouble for he himself had already had the pleasure of first contact with Mr. Reinhart. This guy enjoyed what he did, right ?

[color=ff9900]"Mr. Reinhart!"[/color] it came out of Valentin's mouth probably a bit more loud and firmly than would have been necessary for the other man to understand him. [color=ff9900]"You can regard the presence of the person in front of you as confirmation for my explanation of being here as I am quite certain that she is, in fact, the one I've been waiting for!"[/color]

Valentin blinked with one eye towards Amara, hoping that it was a subtle enough gesture for Mr. Reinhart not to notice. [color=ff9900]"Greetings. You've been on the lookout for me, right ?"[/color]
