Twenty-one-year-old Finny looked at the headquarters for a few seconds before glancing up at the sky; the sun's rays hitting his bright-orange orbs, causing them to shimmer slightly. Perfectly reflecting his excitement. He smiled slightly to himself before opening the doors and walking in. He blinked a little as he adjusted to the dimmer setting.
"Finny! Hurry up or you're going to miss roll-call!" Finny jolted a bit hearing his name, looking around before seeing an officer waving him over to a room. Finny hurried over, nodding a thank you to the officer while slinking into the room, finding a way into a seat with a sigh of relief.
A few seconds later the door opened, a tall male walked in, everyone in the room sitting upright and going silent in response. Finny quickly copied everyone else, folding his hands neatly on the table and turning his attention to the male as he made it to the front of the room.
"Thank you for your attention comrades." The male flashed a small grin at the group before returning to a blank face. He picked up few files on the lectern and opened them, calling out names of the officers in which they would salute and call out "present, sir". He set down the files once everyone's name was called. Finny slowly scrunched down low as some of the other officers glanced over at him, due to the fact that his name wasn't called.
The male glanced down at his files, raising an eyebrow before looking back at the group. "I've almost forgotten. We have a new cadet joining us today." He motioned towards Finny while saying his name. "Cadet Finny Rogers." Finny's face flushed slightly, slowly standing up. There were a few seconds of silence before the room burst into a fit of laughter. While the rest of the officers in the room ranged from 170 cm. - 182 cm. Finny stood at 160 cm., being not only the shortest person in the room but he was even shorter than the female officers. Which made it even more embarrassing for him.
The male stood behind the lectern with a clearly unamused face. He cleared his throat to get the others to quiet down. A few mumbles of "Sorry Chief" breaking through the now quiet room. Finny slowly sat down in his seat, looking down at the table without saying a word. Once the room was back in order the 'Chief' started assigning the officers their jobs for the day. Some getting patrol and others getting assigned to a delinquent.
Once everyone was gone the Chief walked over to Finny, placing a hand on his shoulder. "You're going to be assigned with Samuel." He handed him a folder and smiled. "If you need anything just talk to me. Alright?" Finny looked down at the file in the folder and nodded, blowing his bangs out of his face with a sigh. "Aye, aye Chief." He got up, walking out of the room and shutting the door behind him.
