Elise pondered her answer to the question that the man had asked. She didn’t want to appear too fresh out of training, but lying wasn’t a good idea either. She hadn't seen any action other than exercises during her training. The others seemed content to remain silent, especially the new male recruit who was chewing on his gloves…? However, before she could reply to the question, the darcsen spoke up first. “Still alive, huh?” Elise said to the darcsen with a tone that made it rather obvious she thought her survival was a shame. She stayed her tongue from saying anything explicit along those lines, as the superior officer may butt in and reprimand her if she had.
“I’ve not been in battle before, so I haven’t seen that kind of action much.” Elise continued, but turned to look at the man who’d asked the question. “But I got plenty of action back home.” Normally she would have winked or something after saying a line like that, but it was a man who’d set her up for such a fine comment. The only other females in the APC was the lancer and the darcsen. Instead, she simply grinned as her eye twitched slightly. She quickly wiped the grin off of her face afterwards and leaned back in her seat once more.
