The walk back would actually be a blessing in disguise for Isabel, as the next couple of days without having to deal with a mobile suit to pilot gave her all the time in the world for soul searching and getting her affairs in order. She had come to realize just how important she really was to her 2 fellow Gundam pilots, even if she no longer had a Gundam of her own. Part of her was afraid that they would replace her with somebody else, because of the fact that she had destroyed such an important piece of machinery, and she really didn't want that. Isabel already struggled with meeting new people, and now that she had 2 comrades that she knew she could put her faith in, and who cared about her, she wasn't willing to let them go or be separated from them. All through her time in the federation until this moment, coming to this place, she had been alone. Now that she wasn't alone anymore, she was terrified of going back.<br/><br/>That also got her thinking about the end of the war, when she wouldn't be able to stay here with said comrades anymore. All of Isabel's life had revolved around war and combat, could she really even live in a world of peace? Would she be able to integrate successfully? What happened to warriors in a world that didn't revolve around fighting anymore? The more she thought about it, the more the future absolutely terrified Isabel.<br/><br/>...........................................<br/><br/>Jillian chuckled gently when both of her male friends complained about their rations, and she simply dug into them as well. "Sheesh, you feddies complain about THIS stuff? You should see what they serve us on the other side of the battlefield." Truth be told, Zeon rations were around the same level of quality as these, but she had a leg up on these two, and she found that she was rather fond of giving the others a hard time whenever they complained about something by simply saying "Zeon has it worse". Still, she was finding herself oddly comfortable with the group here, despite her status as a prisoner and the fact that they were all technically her enemies. She had small chats with all 3 of the Gundam pilots, during times where they were in the truck with her. Funnily enough, Isabel did quite a bit to make Jillian feel more at home, since she had a whole lot in common with the only real friend that Jillian had over on her side, Catrina.<br/><br/>Sure, Catrina was WAY more socially capable then Isabel was, but there was a similarity there that made Jillian feel more at home. She also had a few talks with her 'rival' in unit 3, a man who introduced himself as Sam to her. He certainly wasn't a bad guy, but Jillian struggled to get an understanding for him the same way that she did the other two Gundam pilots. At least the Gundam leader was a way better person then whatever supervisory Jillian had, mainly being that scumbag Acar. She hadn't expected to be treated like this, but she most certainly was not going to complain about it. "Anyway, at least your mobile suits actually look kinda cool. You guys get snappy human looking things, and meanwhile, I was piloting a big grey blob of metal, yuck."
