[b]"Tch" [/b]Sigma sighed in annoyance at the display. She folded her arms tightly, even more so, as the talk went from Ian to Antwon, to a newcomer who seemed to have all answers, then to Ian kissing the newcomer, which made Sigma raise an eyebrow in dull surprise. They all seemed to like attention and talk big, but none of them, save perhaps, the mild exception of Korie, was delivering the real deal. The remaining two members were mostly unwilling to even make some kind of polite attempt at salutation, judging how one excused himself quickly and left, and the other, who looked like a diva of sorts, was too busy brooding. Just like Sigma.

And then came some strange sort of cute creature that was [i]adamant in starting conversation[/i] with her. She even went so far to mimick Sigma's gait, and called things boring. Sigma couldn't agree more, but a gut feeling told her than expressing certain kind of attitudes would backfire. Why did they leave them alone? Why they chose to say that they would do a drill and then choose squad leader? Sigma wasn't certain, but she had the feeling there was [i]more[/i] than just the fight. After all, she knew that not always the best fighter was the best squad leader. Maybe they were just [i]observing[/i] them right now, and taking notes.

Her gaze wandered to Elora. She was looking at them both, with a longing stare. [i]Lost puppy[/i]. It was what came to Sigma's mind. Well, she had already had one cute thing tailing her, so might aswell take the big price. Elora was possibly starving for a friendly hand, this whole world of teenager rants was dazzling her. Looking once at Serah, she then focused on Elora, rummaging through her pockets. [b]"One second."[/b]

She produced a single chocolate candy bar, which she handed to Elora.

[i]Treat your soldiers like your own sons and they will follow you to the deepest valley[/i]. The words of Sun Tzu were on her mind, and she could at some degree understand the feeling of not being able to connect socially. [b]"You did well."[/b] She said to Elora, leaning before her and whispering in a soft voice. [b]"You probably break into hives when someone addresses you with the slightest tinge of annoyance. And despite that, you came all the way here. Your confidence may be low, but your spirit is great."[/b] She added.

[b]"And I daresay, I do want to see that framewerk in action."[/b] Sigma added as she gently reached for Elora's shoulder, trying for a comfort pat. 

[b]"Now, do you want to play a little game?"[/b] Sigma said as low as she could. [b]"Girls only."[/b] She added, with a small wink. She also motioned Serah to come closer.
