Baxter wasn't sure whether to be relieved or nervous when his CO said that Sam guy was coming along, but at least it was an opportunity to introduce himself. William seemed to like him, and William seemed like a pretty decent guy in his own right, so it was probably just a fluke that he seemed in such a bad mood when the new teammate first saw him. "I'll take your word for it. You probably wouldn't have invited him if you thought he was a jerk, right?" Baxter agreed, hesitantly taking a seat on the bench so they could wait for the rest of William's party to arrive. As far as he knew, he had met the whole team now (even if he had somehow only managed to really talk with one of them, while the others either ignored him or ignored everyone), meaning it was a small crew. It felt strange, being the new guy in a group that already had dynamics he didn't know about, but war wasn't really about making friends, ultimately. It was just something you hoped to do along the way, so maybe someone could come around and save your life at some point.<br/><br/>The other two arrived quickly, making Baxter wonder if it was really worth all the effort he had gone to get a long-sleeved shirt. The only one who looked more uncomfortable in his clothing was the boss, and that didn't seem to be so much about the heat. He felt a bit overdressed, too, with his black pants naturally looking more formally than the others' blue jeans and khaki's, especially when combined with his shirt. The concern would have continued on through the night, but Mike from before put any over-formality of his to complete shame, so he ended up feeling rather relieved. His outfit was probably fine, anyway (aside from the light sweating it caused), but even if it wasn't, he was a candle flame next to a neon light with how much attention he would actually draw.<br/><br/>"What are the chances we'll run into any Zeon?" the British pilot asked as he climbed into the van, trying to mask his concern as curiosity. The odds that anyone would recognized him were a million to one, but still, he was a traitor to the Zeon flag, and the list of those names and faces were open to any soldier to read, just so he could be a more hated target. Even on neutral territory, he was sure someone would be willing to overstep the rules if it meant the chance to kill a defector...
