Gloved hands rose, for digits to adjust the hat situated stop of the Brunette's head, all followed by a gentle smile from them, shot straight at the silver-haired woman. "Hehe, yup! Say, are you free right now? Today should be a slow day, I thought we could patrol together!"

As chance would have it, their assumption would be correct, the CGF routine was ingrained deep into their mind, so, ever the early bird, Noel was already up And about, eyes soon taking a glance of Elie's door, before a hand rose to knock on the wood. "Morning, Elie! You awake?"

"Well.. it IS Military, in case it wasn't obvious, your clothes are more mysterious to me, though.. ..Are you Eastern by any chance?"

"We're sticking to miss kisser, huh? 💧 My name is Noel Seeker, Lieutenant of the Crossbell Guardian Force, nice to meet you!"
