Oliver smiled as he listen to how the lieutenant complimented on his performance. He could not help it but he actually appreciated it that for once someone noticed him for something other than his shenanigans. But then again, the lady was not part of his unit during the little drone incident and was probably not aware of that the tiger had used military equipment to stalk a civilian girl for a bit. "Thanks, but I have to admit that I did do my homework for once. The LDF more or less use the same encryption algorithms and frequencies over and over again during their exercises. That way I already knew where to look" Oliver paused for a bit as he listened to Amelia talking about that she initially planned on becoming a math teacher prior to joining the LDF until she asked him the same question in return.

For a moment the tiger stared to his beer glass for a bit , it was almost empty but he hadn't taken a single sip since he started his conversation with the lieutenant. "That's a pretty big career chance, from teacher to soldier. For me, I didn't really have much options. My father kicked me out the last time I was released from prison. So I basically had the choice of living in a cardboard box under a bridge or join the LDF. Hobo's don't have GEARs so the choice was easy" Joked Oliver about why he ended up in the military. For a moment he paused and looked lieutenant Winter in the eyes with a curious smile, wondering how the girl would react to his story.
