❝You still don't know your sin?
That in itself, is the sin.❞

Was this how common soldiers were trained, Irina couldn't help but wonder as she sat in the front next to Emma, with Lise sitting boredly on the other side, tapping her foot on the ground to some imaginary tune in her head, she wasn't even listening, this was all probably old hat to her. Cyrus was somewhere behind her, he was listening, impressed by the passionate speech Conductor Roz had given them, and Jonah looked like he was trying his best to suppress a giggle, to hold back the urge to make a joke of some sort. Irina was sitting with prim and proper posture, feeling more comfortable now that she was out of her princess dress. To be peerless was not in the clothes you wore, but the way you presented yourself, the way you behaved, and all the subtle body language cues.
At the fist slam though, Irina was paying very close attention to every movement of Roz's, if stares were weapons, Conductor Roz would have a spear made of ice stabbing through his chest, right between his lungs at this very moment. Roz seemed to notice this, and he turned a focused eye on her once his speech was over, as if to dare her to speak up. Irina then smiled and said nothing, because she knew Miiko was tough, she could handle this much. He was right, Roz was - they couldn't spoil these kids, not if they wanted to be soldiers, not if they wanted to fight and kill to protect those they loved. One boy raised his arm then, he had a question now. "When do we get guns?" He asked with a slight drawl that sounded somewhat southern. "I want to learn how to shoot!" He was clearly here for the combat training more than anything.
Roz thrust his hand against his open palm with a loud slapping sound. "None of you yet have the right to wield one of our weapons yet!" He declared loudly, with force behind every syllable and internally Irina couldn't help but wonder just how he wasn't spraying them with saliva with every word. "Once you've proven your mettle in the drills and in obedience and attitude, will you be given the chance to show your worthiness of a gun!" Jonah raised his hand next and he was smiling innocently. "If we're all family, when can we have a self introduction to get to know each other?"
If anything, that only made things worse, even if Jonah's intentions were apparently nothing more than wanting to know everyone. Conductor Roz pulled out files and the lecture was about to begin. This lecture being, the game of revealing personal information about all thirty squadmates in this room. "Cyrus Dennings, the baby brat of Senator Dennings, rich posh kid who doesn't know a thing about hardship!" Roz pointed at him, and then turned to Jonah. "Jonah Underhill, a little baby whose family was killed, you better not follow that family trend and join them!" After going down the list he arrived at the sisters. "Sam's sisters, Irina Reisser, and Emma White!" He pointed to indicate them and Irina grinned icily, saying nothing. "An uppity snooty ice princess, and a bedwetter, if you think we're going to coddle you here, you'd best be mistaken!" He skipped over Lise who seemed almost disappointed and finally it was time to head out for the entrance ceremony. "Are you okay?" Irina mouthed silently to Emma when Roz wasn't looking.
