The string of obscenities only gets more colorful as Weiss leaves the truck. Suddenly Jean spins. "Vernier, I swear, if I don't find my kepi, you won't make it back to the graduation!"

The driver of the truck leans out of the window. He wears a dress uniform similar to Jean's. "It's not my fault you can't hang on to your ****. Find it, I don't want to be late." He goes back into the cab.

"Allez vous faire foutre!" Jean shouts before returning to looking for his kepi.

Jean grins sheepishly. "Oui, mademoiselle."

He kicks a rock irritably. "Where the hell could it have gone?!?" He wonders out loud."

Looking at Weiss, he continues his rant. "I really will kill Vernier if I don't find it."

"AH HA!" Jean shouts. "Vernier! You live this time!" He fishes his kepi out of a bush and puts it on his head. He grins at Weiss. "Problem solved."

"Lets go!" Vernier shouts. Jean looks at Weiss and rolls his eyes. He returns to the back of the truck and waits to give Weiss a boost up.

Jean walks to the cab and hits it again. The truck starts moving again. "Vernier, lets keep the truck steady this time, eh?"

"I always tell you no to lean your head on the side, but you never listen to me." Comes the muted reply from the cab. Jean sits back down by Weiss, tossing his arm around her.

The truck continues on to the academy, Jean and Vernier intermittently bickering along the way until they arrive.

The Representative walks outside to the gardens of the academy. He walks up to smell a interesting patch of flowers he has never seen before.

After arrival at the academy, Jean hops out of the truck, and waits to help everyone down. Vernier hops from that cab and starts walking away and Jean shouts a couple obscenities at him as he goes. Vernier simply hold an arm up in the air and gives Jean the middle finger while still walking away.

As Jean is helping Wiess down, he grins. "Vernier is my best friend, if you couldn't tell."

When Landa gets out, Jean stops him. "Colonel, I have someone who wants to meet you. A family friend, actually." Jean points across the parade ground where Vilain stands with President Lefévre and several military officers.

Jean smiles holds his arms out. "Welcome to the École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr, my home for the past four years, more or less. Now, would you like to see your rooms, or wander around, or anything else? You are free to do as you please for the duration of your stay." He looks at Weiss, grinning slightly. "And you are free to stay as long as you please."

As Landa walks up, Vilain welcomes him. "Colonel Hans Landa. My name is Jean-Claude Vilain. I have heard much about you and it's a pleasure to meet you." He holds his hand out to shake. "President Lefévre, this is Colonel Landa, an officer in the Prussian Honor Guard."

Lefévre also holds a hand out. "Nice you meet you Colonel."
