Kim took a bookmark from the table he was sitting at and put it inside the book that he was currently reading. He turns to respond to Kacita. As he moves his metal hand is visible before he puts on a pair of leather gloves. "Its been a normal day for me Colonel Khione. Ah about the new teams that has been given out *He shifts through the pile of paper on the table before taking out a letter* Now lets see... Its seems i got some new blood in my team and 3 of them are alchemist! *He puts away the letter* You are right, i just hope that they won't fight." Kim said to Kacita before making a smile. "Do you want to spar after we meet our teams or later today?" Kim looks at Kacita as he wants to test his strength against her.


(Could Kim and Kacita be rivals since there both water alchemists? Or that Kim looks up to her?)

Lilian jumped by the sudden voice. She set her book down. She felt as if her red eyes pierced through her, but she kept her cool and remained calm and collected. She nodded her greeting.

" Yes that's correct. Very nice to meet you. " She smiled softly, shaking her hand.

Axen~

Axen walked home slowly. He stared at the ground, his thoughts swimming around his mind. He heard of new alchemists that had recently joined. He hoped none of them were jerks. He already had enough to deal with. He turned down a small road leading to a larger house. Not a mansion, but a decent house. He opened the door, and his younger brother came running st him, lightning speed. Axen smiled, ruffling his hair. His younger brother smiled and ran off to play in his room.

I won't let him down. I'll make sure to be the best example he'll see. He thought. Axen walked up to his room and sat on his desk chair, starting to fill out reports. He sighed, looking out his window.

Tuji left the patient she had been helping....the others could do it.She walked out of the music wars, she was short in a few herbs and didn't remember where she could find some.She bounced to the library and walked in,she went over to the herbology section and started scrolling through in of the pads looking for where she could get some Pepermint leaves and lavender...

(Maybe a lil bit of both, since she is older and more experienced)

"Yes, I think a sparring session is in order... I just hope Carmine doesn't scare any new recruits, she's a sweetheart, but, the whole ishval thing makes people really wary of her, and if we're being honest, she can come off as intimdating... she likes to do that on purpose though, scaring people into their places" Kacita said with a slight smile. "Also, I got a new dog recently, I call her Callie" Kacita said proudly.

"Your so young, how did a little one like you become a cursed dog of the military?" Carmine asked, moving her hair out of her eyes.

" I guess I asked for it. I've studied practically my whole life. Just from what my parents left behind. " She had never really thought about why she had joined to be a State Alchemist.

And I'm not that young... She thought bitterly.

"Wrong answer" She said, bloody red eyes narrowing. "You're going Colonel Kacita Khione's team, when someone calls you a dog of the military, you correct them, and tell them you're not a mutt like they believe you are, and that you're a wolf" She said, lowering herself to the point where her face was mere inches away from Lilian's

Lilian's eyes widen and then soften.

Shes right. I need to stop being so submissive. I am NOT some stupid mutt. She thought.

Without looking at her book, she closed it. She kept her gaze, refusing to look away.

" Right. Ill remember that each time im called a dog, or a mutt of the military. " She said firmly, but not rudely.

in an instant, Carmine's expression went from a cold and terrifying glare to a polite and gentle smile. "Good girl, well, I suppose I'll see you around now, I bet the Colonel is off avoiding her paperwork again, I swear, it's a miracle that girl has made it this far" Carmine rambled.

"Goodbye, White Lily" Carmine waved a polite goodbye as she walked off to talk to another military person
