She was glad to see that she hadnâ€™t missed anything and had, it seemed, come in behind the others with a good enough speed. She wanted to make a good first impression if they were to be working together for the gods knew how long. The last thing they would need, she was sure, was any sort of turbulence or disagreement among themselves. It was that kind of foolishness that got people killed and she knew sheâ€™d never get used to the sight of dead bodies.<br/><br/>As the conversation started she fell silent and took a relaxed position, arms folded on the table, body leaned forward slightly. Perhaps it was a bit too casual, the woman named Eva was sitting pretty as a princess, but Charlie had never been much of a lady, even before all this and preferred comfort over appearance. Plus, she was stiff after the long ride over.<br/><br/>Her eyes bounced from each speaker as they went and she made a small mental assesment of each. It was no more than how she percieved them, how she felt, but knowing her comrads would be vital in this next mission.<br/><br/>Holt seemed like an alright man, she was sure theyâ€™d get along fine. She liked Eva, she appeared to be nice but very sure of herself. That was good. Sydney  wasâ€¦ she wasnâ€™t sure how she felt about him exactly. She had nothing really against the sanctioned but he seemedâ€¦ off maybe? Oh but she shouldnâ€™t judge. Adalwolf was quiet, that was all she gathered really, and that he was confident. Once again a good point. She smiled a little more though when he said his job was keeping them all alive. She thought she was quite good at that on her own, but oh well. And then there was Mira, one more confident young lady. Hooray!<br/><br/>It made her smile grow once again to know sheâ€™d be in service with so many women, usually she was shoved into male dominant groups and while she didnâ€™t quite mind it, it was nice to be around those of the same gender.<br/><br/>She noticed rather quickly that by now theyâ€™d gone all around the table and it was her turn to make an introduction, they needed something to call her after all didnâ€™t they?<br/><br/>She pawed at her bangs again and then circled a finger around the mug of ale before her. She did hope that all her little gestures didnâ€™t make them think she was unsure, or nervousâ€¦ Well she was a little nervous but not for the adventure they were going on. New people is all, new, serious, people.<br/><br/>â€œMy nameâ€™s Charlotte Mays, or Charlie if youâ€™d likeâ€ she told them cheerfully enough. â€œItâ€™s quite a pleasure to meet you all and I hope we can get along.â€ Her gaze bounced around again, brown eyes twinkling with mirth. â€œAnd, if you all were wondering, Iâ€™ve been at this business for about seven years now.â€ She paused, brow furrowing as her smile turned into something a little embarrassed.<br/><br/>â€œA word of cautionâ€¦ If you see me swinging my axe one handed, stay clear. I only do that when Iâ€™ve gone berserk.â€ She laughed to hopefully dispel any awkwardness that might be about her after that little revelation and as reassurance that she was not a bad person.<br/><br/>Those seven years of experience had taught her that people often reacted better when she made known her ability from the start. Better than shocking them all when Charles came out and hacked something to bloody pieces with a manic grin on her face. Berserkers often got a bad rep just for that and she only hoped they didnâ€™t think ill of her for it and that theyâ€™d heed her warning. She had pretty good control over herself butâ€¦<br/><br/>Everyone makes mistakes. She was proud to say that she hadnâ€™t made one of said mistakes in almost three years but yes, everyone made mistakes.<br/><br/>Still smiling, she did not like to let that smile slip even in the worst of times, she tapped the sides of her glass and gave a soft hum of thought, eyes scanning the group one more time. It sure was a motley crew they had going but well balanced from what she could tell.<br/><br/>Perhaps it was just the optimist in her talking but she had a very good feeling about them.
