Xue stood next to the tent, bouncing on his heels. There seemed to be a lot of whispering between the recruits this morning, but they hadn't heard a thing from any of the generals themselves. He figured it had something to with what he'd heard from Sze and Shen the other night, but he was going to wait until Xiao came back to jump to any conclusions; the older recruit had left to see what everyone else was saying.
As Xiao walked towards the tent, Xue greeted him with a questioning look. "What's all this about? Are we moving?"

"Hello to you too, Squirt," joked Xiao, stopping before the entrance to turn to Xue. "Yeah," he answered, stretching idly. "I think we are. I heard there was a notice posted in the central area but I haven't seen it yet. Anyway, this is just a stop to pick us up, y'know? Since we're fightin' against the Japanese, we gotta get closer."

"Closer?" Xue looked a bit disturbed at that, frowning slightly. "How far are we going to walk, do you think? Are we taking all of this with us? I mean, the tents and all."

Without a warning Shikang made his appearance behind the two boys. His stare was off looking at the rest of the tents. Furrowing his right brow he shook his head in disappointment. "Was the purpose for combat confirmed or are we still in defense is the real answer."

"GYAAA!" Xiao screeched, jumping a good few feet off the ground. "For heaven's sake," gasped Xiao, clutching to the fabric over his heart wtih his right hand, "you have got to stop doing that. It's freaking me out."

Xue was still frozen in terror, the color drained from his face as he turned around and attempted to smile at the older boy. "Good morning, Shikang," he managed weakly. "W-What was that you said?"

Shikang's eyes went into slits as he looked at Xiao quietly. Nodding his head in greeting at the two of them, he crossed his arms to stare out at the camp. "I'll make sure to walk louder next time," he knew he wouldn't because it amused him to get such reactions, "we might be moving to put up further defense. It wasn't confirmed on who was attacking who first."

"Well technically," Xiao said, fortunately beginning to recover a somewhat normal heartrate, "There shouldn't be any attackin' goin' on at all, since there really hasn't been a formal declaration that we're havin' a war in the first place. But that's just formalities. I betcha we're goin' up there to wait for the first shot, or make it ourselves." He scrunched up his face, obviously disenchanted with politics.

"W-We might attack them?" Xue eyed the pair nervously, fully expecting them to give him even more bad news. "I heard this was a strictly 'just in case' kind of thing? We're probably just defending right now." He nodded firmly, as if that would make it so.

"Sure. If Japan lays dormant and continues to cause trouble we'll have to be the first to attack. I don't know the exact ratio for when it will all start, yet there is another rumor going around. Company, maybe? New faces seem to be appearing out of no where, it's raising suspicion so .. if we move it could be just in case our spot was reported to the enemy and we're too close to the port." Slowly his arms uncrossed, noticing Xue only hoped for the best: Shikang fueled it. "Just rumors."

"Just rumors," repeated Xiao under his breath, hitching up his voice to make it mocking. He turned a little away from the taller teammate and rolled his eyes when he was sure Shikang couldn't see it, sticking out his tongue in good measure. "Oh hey," he exclaimed suddenly, face brightening. "Maybe that new friend of yours is one of them," he said slyly.

"I told you," Xue sighed, "he met personally with General Kwok and General Sze, and both of them reacted to him normally. If he was... that, they would have done something about it..." He trailed off, frowning. "Though that was weird... he should know where General Rie's part of the camp is by now."

Shikang wasn't bothered by the mocking tongue; he wasn't so oblivious to not notice. However, he wasn't someone who would go as low to be offended by such a childish act. "It could be part of the training, but it's still no reason to go out of the way to trick everyone."

Leaning his weignt on his heels, Xiaoszi shrugged, contemplative. "I really doubt it's a trick; the army could lose a lot of morale if they trick us with somethin' serious like that so early on. Don't think it's such a good idea." He frowned in thought, a distracted hand resting idly on the side of his neck. "Even if they're just rumors, we gotta be careful, I guess. Watch out, maybe." The thoughtful look disappeared, replaced by a toothy smirk and focused glances at each of the other two in turn. He pushed the both of them gently on the chest with a light fist. "Unless one of you's a spy. In that case, I just might havta be forced to kick your butts back to Japan!"

"Spy?" Xue nearly squeaked, looking back and forth between the two. "If we haven't even declared war yet, what purpose--"
He stopped suddenly, his mouth still open, gazing at Shikang and Xiao. "Are you guys actually talking?" he asked, the beginnings of a bright smile starting to show.
