Lunch had been more than uneventful, it had been disgusting. Asuka was not pleased that she was not high enough of rank to get better food. Complying completely with the soldiers wasn't doing her any favors either. Silence was her only reward. Sure, she wasn't being forced to starve or do humiliating exercises, but a little recognition wouldn't kill them.

"Excuse me," Asuka stopped in front of the doors to the courtyard, glancing to her guard for appeal. "May I get a coat?" The idea of freezing her budding figure off didn't sound all that inspiring. Thankfully, the soldier gave her no trouble and dutifully fetched a jacket for her. The man opened the door to let the redhead step out into the chilly weather, leaving her to wrinkle her nose. It wasn't the cold so much as the slush and snow that would dampen her clothing.

There was nowhere dry enough to sit down comfortably, so Asuka stood, arms crossed over her chest as she stared at the motley crew around her with bored eyes. The only thing she cared about was finding Shinji, wonder girl, or that putrid angel to figure out if any of them had rings. She still needed to do something about that "relationship" also. Every day they were together, the more that doofus was getting mentally polluted by Kaworu. Wonder boy had enough of that without an outside influence accelerating damage.
