Atticus' slight smile broke into a grin as he heard the Captain's response. A wave of relief washed over him, but he stayed composed on the outside.

"Thank you for the opportunity. You won't be disappointed."

He took a seat near the other hunters talking to the Captain, listening intently on their conversations. However, his eyes remained somewhat shifty. Atticus never stopped scanning the room, processing who was in it and what was going on. He laughed when others laughed and reacted accordingly, but he never really stopped computing. Once the dining hall seemed to empty, he followed the people outside, wondering what would happen next.
