"Understood sir." Nova smirked, already aware that her first priority was making it through the night. No story her father told her was going to prepare her for the real thing; she had made her peace with that long ago. That in mind, she was quite eager to test her limits against that which literally goes bump in the night. She took her time standing as Ben rose and left the room, her male counterpart quick to leave his seat but hesitant to leave the room without her. With a raised eyebrow Nova walked toward the door, pausing to shake the man's hand.
"Nova... And only time will tell how true that statement is." The young woman smiled with a small chuckle, revealing the jesting nature behind her words. Moving forward, Nova stepped out into the fading light of evening eyes immediately locking on to Ben's form steadily moving away from them. "Old Ben, as you call him, doesn't wait for much let alone him new rookies. Better hurry up before we get left behind." She bounded forward a few paces, her long legs allowing her to catch up rather easily as Nova fell into step behind the guy.
