Jenny nodded to Zanjitsu. "Jenny. I'll meet you all at the hangar. Afternoon, everyone." Without another word, she turned on her heel and strode quickly to her room. She entered without looking around, hurriedly grabbing what she needed. She picked up one of her Mana Hastega rings, tied her hair back, and spent a few minutes debating whether or not to wear a skirt. She eventually went with the skirt. And then, because she knew that if she didn't do it then, she would never do it, she sat down and wrote a letter to her parents. She tried to maintain a facade of normality in her letter, only telling and asking about trivial things. Jenny couldn't bring herself to write how much she missed her parents. She rolled the letter up, placed inside an empty bottle, sealed it with a cork, placed it in her pack, and hurried down to the hangar.

Oh, and Jenny is about four years older than Zanjitsu. 'Girl' is probably not the word he would use to describe her.
