A little surprised to see everyone more or less ignoring the troops, save for an emberassed imaculate, Kalinda returned the salute properly, she'd worked wtih her own houses troops in the past, greeted them all in the name of her house and the empire, and asked to speak to their duty officers, informing them that she would adress them again in the morning.<br/><br/><i>Couldn't someone more experienced than I handle this?  I want to just kick back wiht a book, or maybe with Izami and a pipe... and a book...  </i><br/><br/>The slight girl, half the size of most of the men an women of the legions, didn't show any of this on her face as she dismissed them and asked the duty officers for a report on the troops experiences, areas of expertise, and extracuricular skills.  She gave her word that any extracurciular skills that she was informed of "off the record" would remain that way.<br/><br/>Then she made her way down to her quarters, stowed away her books, and started to pack a pipe.  With a groan, she realized that Izami was right next door to her.  She wished that the daring water aspect with the fantastic body was here, but any port in a storm.  Pressing her ears to the wal, she evesdopped for a few moments on the seduction taking place, trying to supress a fit of nervous giggles.
