I can feel there eyes on me, and there eyes widening and I can't help but to rub the back of my neck with my left arm my eyes turn to the girl with the messy brown hair and then to the red haired woman, her hair looks almost to red to be natural and as this thought comes to my mind I can feel her burning green gaze on me, and now I want to hide in the ground and let it shallow me whole, I have to stop myself from running out right now.
"I hope I wasn't late or anything,"
I knew I wasn't. However, I checked the clock. I don't move my head but I look at it from the corner of my eye, twelve fifty, ten minutes early and yet she's still staring at me if looks could really kill, I'd be dead maybe I would have died five times over. She then stands up from the couch and is walking over to me, and now I've froze in place, hell. I probably already was she's only a little shorter than me, looks no taller than five nine.
"So you're a healer, huh?"
She crossed her arms, and I'm trying so hard to avoid eye contact. I'm trying to find my words, my vocal cords, but my throat feels almost dry.
"Well, I'm a medic actually -"
"Right, sorry. A medic, but your powers healing"
I can't say anything, but I just nod.
"Yeah, but I have medical training. I don't just rely on my power,"
She's giving me a knowing look, as if I'm stating the basic facts.
"Scarlet Thomson, deputy captain of this unit"
She raised her hand up to shake mine. Why didn't she start with that? I shake it, but I could really only feel the fabric of her glove against my skin.
"Is it a style choice?"
I meet her eyes, one of her eyebrows is raised. I look down at our plams still locked together.
"Oh,"
She flushes a little.
"Yeah, it is. I've always liked the look of fingerless gloves medic boy"
Medic boy? I catch a smile forming on her face, and it almost makes me smile myself. Then someone clears their thoart, and my head turns to face Luke before he starts speaking.
"I'm glad you two have gotten acquainted. The girl still sitting down is lsabel,"
My head turns again to face the girl with brown hair it's curly tied on a ponytail. She looks so much like Luke.
"It's nice to meet you"
She smiled again before Luke spoke again.
"Now, we have ten minutes before the Commander arrives, Daniel has just spoken to him, and we'll go over the plan one more time, understand"
I hear Scarlet and Isabel groan and I chuckle.
"Understand"
They speak at the same time, and the door opens again.
