It seemed the superior-looking boy had deigned to speak with her, and she heavily debated whether or not to give him a response. After a moment of thought, she said simply "Tsumura Ayaka." This was, by all technicalities, not her full title, since she was a Recruit Corporal back at her old school, but she felt that "rank" was little more than a way of IDing her as someone who could help newcomers. After a moment, she replied "What about you?" Those eyes of his were vaguely disturbing, they seemed devoid of anything good. This just increased her readiness to fight, of course, since it provoked a natural response.

It was then that she noticed the book he was reading, a pretty old text by the looks of it. She wasn't able to see what it was that he was reading, but she didn't care all that much either. She casually reached into her bag and produced a UEG Infantryman's Guide book, which her father had conveniently misplaced, casually opening it up and reading as well. Within were various things that a soldier deployed in a combat zone would need to know, survival techniques, standard communication protocol and the like. It was interesting to her, if only because she'd thought Infantry was to be her calling in life.
