Snippet #2281024

Rallen found his place in line rather easily and quickly after all he would ever so much hate to displease his mother. Formation where all second boring to him as he let out a yawn but still kept rank without any issue. Despite all the things he’d weather be doing it couldn’t be helped. The higher ups all need to feel like they were running some great military force, and to be fair they kind of where, and show it off like some kind of trophy. “Can’t be helped I suppose.” Rallen said softly with a sigh. Did people actually find this entertaining? Or better yet did anyone outside of the military even care? He looked around to see who was part of the new squad he found himself in and saw Caspian along with Rey. He raised a brow a bit thinking fate had a funny way of working. It was probably best that way at least like this he didn’t have to deal with people who were unreasonable or at least he hoped.

He waited patiently for the Lieutenant to show up to him. He looked at his gauntlet that rest comfortable on his left hand and frowned at it. “This should be good.” He spoke under his breath. Rallen turned his attention to the fellow and listened to rather politely if anything to make up for the yawn from earlier. He lifted up his left arm a bit and shrugged at his question. “Didn’t read my file did you?” He chuckled at the fellow and dropped his hand back to his side. “I’d take it off but I do ever so much like living you know.” He gave the man a smile as he walked on and turned back to the stage waiting what would come next.

Much like the walking around, he found the speech rather boring though the change of tone put a smile on his face. At a point he just sort of faded out from the speech going into his own little world in his head just waiting for it to be over to he could go home and leave from the peering eyes of his mother. He woke from his trance at the sound of the air ship coming in. He peered out to the exit looking to see the headmaster walk in and up to the stage. He listened to every word the man spoke it was clear by the entrance something was wrong. Hearing the news of the emperor’s death his eyes turned serious as the crowd began to act up. He knew fully well what was to fallow the man’s death and he kept his focused on the headmaster toning out the noise of the others.
