Behind the Dorms, Tuesday Afternoon

"Hey, guys," said Zack once people seemed more or less assembled for today's reserves meeting. "Since we're working on getting involved in some more in-depth exercises in the future, I thought that maybe keeping it simple today would be for the best. You more or less know one another by now, I think, but do you know how the other people here in the group work?" He grinned a bit, and then shrugged. "Unarmed sparring. Grab a partner and go at it. Don't do anything to seriously hurt your partner, though. I want to see you going for grabs and holds and light contact, but not force. We want our crew in one piece, here. And if someone does get hurt, come see me. I have potions, or else I can help haul your butt to the clinic."

The look that he was wearing was one of those very serious looks that suggested that he would be very displeased if it came down to hauling anyone's butt to the clinic, okay. And considering the bouncy puppy that he was a semester ago, it probably seemed all the more severe if you happened to know Zack.

"Before we get started, I want to announce the other two leaders who will be stepping up to help me lead the group. Jak and Kennedy both have some excellent ideas about further training exercises, and they've both agreed to take leadership roles here, and so if you see them be sure to give them a pat on the back, or at least a little respect, okay?"

Whatever your idea of respect was.

Juice and cookies! ... They're a Reserves staple, okay? To keep your strength up while sparring.

Gunn stood towards the back of the group and skipped the juice. However, the cookies were a completely different matter.

One might wonder why Dandelion was showing up to the military reserves group today.

Of course in her mind the fact that she's authorized to use DEADLY FORCE might have something to do with it.

Ino was... up in her tree. With her eyes closed.

What?

She was awake and listening.

Asuna looked up in the tree and blinked. Someone was sleeping on one of the branches. She wondered if the girl knew there was a meeting here?

"Can I help you?" she asked archly, when Ino realized someone was looking her way.

"Uh, no, sorry!" Asuna scratched her cheek. "I was just curious why you were up there."

That earned Asuna an amused glance as Ino shifted to better peer down at the other girl. "Should I not be up here? I like trees and I can hear everything fine."

"I guess I didn't expect anybody up in the trees," Asuna admitted. "I guess you'll have a better view up there, ne?"

"Just a bit of one," she said easily. "It's a better view when there's no leaves though. They kinda block things. What's your name?"

"Asuna," she replied. "Asuna Kagurazaka, I'm one of the new students."

Last meeting was great and there was a constant supply of juice and cookies. Plus, really learning more about kicking ass was great, there was something she could show Negi back home!

Goose was once again standing at the back of the crowd and watching what was going on around him.

Tahiri helped herself to a few cookies and some juice, both eyebrows shooting up at the mention of the new reserves leaders. Jak would be . . . interesting, as a choice.

As for the other one? Tahiri was just going to take this as a long-term lesson in self-control. As in, it was going to be an exercise in keeping herself from wanting to smack Kennedy every week.

Well, that'd be useful at least.

Ben arched up an eyebrow at Tahiri. Jak?

Tahiri kept her expression as neutral as possible, and shrugged at him; she had no idea what he knew, so it wasn't really hers to tell. Looks like, huh? This is going to be a very different sort of Reserves this year, I bet.

They all seem to embrace the idea of electricity and not using spears, Ben replied, mental voice teasing.

Does this mean I won't get looked at quite as funny if I volunteer my X-Wing for things? That was Tahiri teasing right back, mostly because it meant she had a chance to see if he'd give her a sulky look for reminding him she, you know, had one.

He, as she predicted, gave him a sulky look. The shuttle will fit more people, he sent back.

Stupid big, lumbering, unsexy shuttle.

Tahiri gave him a very slightly smirky look in response. Hey, I never said the shuttle wouldn't be useful either. But sometimes you just need something a little faster.
