Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rennati had just been out trying to get some fresh air and a break from all of the classes and chores she had been kept pretty busy with. It was actually kind of nice to be away from all of the training. Her mind was more at ease even with the constant worry of what she would choose to do after she graduated...IF she graduated. But she didn't want to think about that. She had just been passing her brother's favorite cake shop when she saw someone waving her over and asking if she liked cake.

"I love cake! This place is my brother's favorite cake shop, their stuff is so good!" Ren thought she had seen the other woman before but couldn't quite place it. It was then that she saw the sign about a couple's cake. Oh how interesting! "Oh! I know why I didn't recognize you at first, you're normally with another girl, right?" Figuring she shouldn't be rude, she held out her hand before introducing herself. "I'm Rennati."

So she had been right, Amalia was normally with another girl named Yesenia. That's why she didn't recognize her immediately! Rennati wondered what Yesenia could have done and what Amalia was about to say about her before she introduced herself. In any case, she shook her hand firmly and with a smile on her face and released the other's hand a moment after. Amalia and Yesenia, she'd have to ask Larisa about them when she got back. Or maybe even the twins, they'd know right? Amalia was pretty, the twins would surely know about them.

"Yes I am! I did do a little work in the garden. Terry Tuggle even gave me some interesting socks there! He sure is an interesting one." Ren said with a little giggle. At least Amalia had called her over for what Rennati had thought she had called her over for. "That's so interesting. I wonder why they would do a cake only for couples! I'd be willing to be your partner! There's no way I can turn down cake of any kind!" If there was one thing she liked, it was surgery things!

Rennati couldn't help but laugh along as well. Terry was probably more than interesting but he was a nice enough guy so she would never say anything mean about him! After all, he had tried to encourage her and made her feel pretty good about herself even after tripping and finding very little wood for the fence at first. "Oh no problem! Thank you for waving me down because now I get to have yummy cake!" She said excitedly.

When they walked in, they were quickly greeted by a girl she could only assume was the waitress. At least from the outfit she had on and the way she asked them what they wanted. "We want the couple's cake!" She said just as excitedly.

The waitress smiled so sweetly again Rennati had to wonder if her face hurt after she got off work. "Well of course. Why don't you two go sit down and I'll bring it right out sweet pea." Well the waitress was really nice, Rennati hoped the cake was just as good! This time leading the pair, Ren went over to the nearest table and sat down gratefully. Less walking meant less of a chance to trip and fall! Which would not be good in a place like this!

Feeling a blush come over her face as Amalia asked her how her training was going, Rennati started twirling her hair around her finger. "Well I suppose it's been going okay. It could definitely be going better. I did decently in all the survival training, though terrible in the hand to hand combat part.I felt so bad for the guy who was paired with me! I just hope no one saw it since I don't want him to get made fun of for my klutziness!" She scratched the back of her neck as she replayed the image of her causing Axel to topple to the ground with her after he tried to be nice and catch her from falling. It was a very embarrassing situation. "Well, how about you and your training? Do you know what branch you want to go into after graduation?" It was something Ren still hadn't decided for herself, but maybe talking to other trainees would help her decide!

"The instructor was really nice and is full of advice and is very knowledgeable! I'm sure you'll do fine! I don't know if it was bad or not...I'm sure people would have laughed if they had seen." Rennati watched the play of emotions cross the other's face and she had to wonder just what Amalia was thinking. "Your secret will be safe with me!" Ren was good at keeping secrets. Plus, she didn't really have many people to tell in all actuality. Secrets weren't meant to be shared anyway, that's why they're called secrets!

Rennati hadn't really known what to expect before Amalia told her. She smiled, which was maybe something Amalia didn't expect. It was something she had been thinking of too. "That's not stuck up. Sometimes going beyond the walls isn't for everyone. I don't know if I could do the survey or garrison. I've been leaning towards the Military police as well but I just can't decide! I...don't think I'd be good enough to get into the top of the class. And with how klutzy I am I'm not sure if I belong in any of the branches." She sighed. She had managed to make it into training so she could do it. "I managed to make it into training and I think that surprised my family. But now that I'm here...I don't know what I'm going to do." Rennati hadn't told anybody how lost she'd been feeling lately, and she didn't know why she was telling this other trainee she barely knew. But hey, maybe people were just meant to bond over cake!

All Rennati could do was sigh. She had always been a klutz. And part of the reason why she wanted to join the military so bad was because she thought that if anybody could help her not be such a klutz it would be these people. So far, it hadn't worked. But she hadn't been here for too long so maybe there was still hope for her. Rennati had come to the same conclusion that Amalia had that the Military Police would probably be the safest place for her, but then what if she tripped and fell or hurt some rich merchant or noble or someone? That could leave her in more trouble or even demotion. Not to mention she'd have to rank high enough to get in the MP in the first place.

As she was fumbling for what to say next, Rennat was saved by the waitress as she came and set a rather large cake in between them. Ren's eyes got big as she looked at the cake and her mouth started to water. "Thank you!" She managed to say before the waitress had gone too far away. "Well, you think we should dig in?" Ren asked with a big smile on her face with fork already in hand.
