******************************************

A couple days passed and apparently the Garrison captain would be arriving today. A man with the name of Rory Barns, Captain Barns to most. No one actually knew what time he'd be arriving and Mikasa did sneak out a letter to Annie to see if she knew anything but seems she hasn't heard anything over the matter due to being in the Military Police regiment. Of course, Annie mentioned that she'd keep an ear out to any gossip or rumours that might involve the visit and hidden motives over it.  

And now, Mikasa was left walking around the camp. Patrolling to help out the captains who were busy with paperwork and needed their squads to walk around and stop any forming trouble between soldiers. They weren't sure when Captain Barns was coming and they didn't want him to gain any fuel for his fire. So, Hanji squad was given one section of the camp to keep an eye on, Mike squad was given a different section as their zone to deal with and Levi squad was left near the centre to make sure things go smoothly in the areas that the Garrison Captain would mostly be in. 

This left Mikasa to slowly wonder around the whole camp, between the patrol times of the other squads to help step in if something started up while their backs were turned. It was impossible to keep an eye one everything and anything at once. So, Mikasa filled in the gaps and since it was getting close to lunch time, they thought they were doing rather well already. 

Until the first incident happened between her and the Captain.

"Oi! Cadet. Why are you not lined up with the rest of the fresh batch of soldiers?" An angered low and scratchy voice filled the air.

Mikasa came to a slow stop, raising an eyebrow before turning towards the man who seemed to have yelled out before. She looked him over, keeping her unreadable expression and silently taking in the logo on his jacket. He was the Garrison Captain, one who clearly didn't understand how things worked within this camp. 

She glanced towards her .. friend and confusion filled her while she stayed with a straight poker face. She knew he mentioned the fresh batch of cadets that joined but her friends weren't those newbies anymore. They've had another small handful of soldier's join up as they finished military school last week. 

If Rory was picking a fight and trying to pretend that he held the big cock between him and babies than at least get the right fresh cadets to stand before him. He was more of an idiot than she thought and simply walked towards him, not feeling like yelling back to correct him. 

"Neither I or these soldiers who stand proudly before you are fresh cadets. Our recently joined soldiers are currently being trained by their given squad leaders in the upcoming expedition. If you'll excuse me and my comrades, we've got duties to complete" Mikasa calmly spoke as she made direct eye contact with the man before her, showing no signs of fear or being intimidated by him at all. 

He was on the large side, kept ate well enough and the strong scent of Tabaco whiffed from him, almost choking those standing close to him.  His skin tone a nut brown and he had small blue eyes that held a small percent of self power gained by his rank. His dark brown hair was short and he had scratchy stubble lining his jawline and mouth. His uniform neat, his jacket clean, his boots shining and no stain on his white trousers. The only odd bit was his white shirt was half tucked in and half tucked out with the final button on the bottom being left undone.
