It wasn't like any other day for Octavius. He had seen a pretty woman at a tavern, asked around, and found out that she was a soldier. A new recruit, to be precise. He was off shift, not training, and currently seeking her out. Of course, if he found the woman he wouldn't be so brazen as to openly admit that, but it was the honest truth of what he was about.

The soldier, dressed in his civilian clothes, entered into the training yard. There were always people training here, and now was no exception. A quick pan told him that the girl he was looking for wasn't present, so with a tisk of dissatisfaction he made to leave.

Octavius was about to turn when a soldier approached. A very attractive soldier, yes, he noticed. His eyes flickered down to the ax in her hand before bouncing back up to her face.

"A correct observation." He verified with a smirk and a nod of his head. "I'm, uh, looking for someone. But it's no matter." He could tell there was something about the woman, be it her approach or her eyes, that seemed as if she was hankering for some company. While his task at hand beckoned him away, he decided to linger a little. It wouldn't kill him to.

"You don't look familiar. You're a new recruit?" It was his turn to assume.

Octavius nodded, maintaining his smile, relatively charmed by her flirting but ultimately still with his task at the forefront of his mind.

“Well, thank you for your service.” He gave a dip of his head, the gesture slightly mocking—not her, but just the formality in general. “Private…?” He was asking for her surname.

Octavius shrugged a nonchalant shoulder, because yeah, he agreed--this was their duty to their kingdom. It was also a better life than cleaning rooms and serving drinks, which was his older brother's current daily activity.

"Wulfbrand." He returned, making their meeting official. They'd swapped sentiments and now names. He counted her another acquaintance and potential friend under his belt.

"Well, keep up the good work." He started backing away, determined to complete the mission he had started.
