Carolina is pretty observant on a normal day. But the kid doesn't register at first - she's training, and that has a way of tuning everyone else around her out when she throws herself into it.

Sloppy, she'll chide herself later - it's the reason you ended up in trouble in the first place.

But, when someone says sup to her, she legs the bag swing through her and then back before she phases back to normal, putting an arm up to stop and looking to the side, where Dipper is.

Cool power, he says, but her brain is still catching up and staring. She knows some of the Legionnaires are teenagers, but Dipper? He looks like he barely qualifies as a teenager. What the hell kind of guy is Brande?

"Thanks," she says after a long moment, watching Dipper do another sit up. She almost asks if he's a Legionnaire but - he has the ring, the semi-familiar exercise suit. "So - are you a new legionnaire too?"
