So far it looked like Conner was going to be surrounded by a group of females all much shorter than him, or at least they were the ones actively speaking together. He stayed close to M'gann on instinct, his own backpack slung over a shoulder, a hand holding the strap. His other hand was casually dug into the pocket of his pants.

Hearing how shy his teammate and friend was, Conner glanced her way. He watched her and gave no other reaction as he listened to everyone else state their sponsorships. Promptly Conner gave his in a calm but monotone voice. "Pearl."

Although M'gann would know that the others wouldn't, until now.

Then it was back to standing there in silence off to the martian's left side, his bright ice blue eyes trailing around at their area and the other cadets with them. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, everyone was more excited for the so-called camping trip.
