A few days later Madaline was sitting in the mess hall alone just a little lost in thought as Amber walked in and sat down beside her; causing her to jump slightly.

"You alright there Madi?" Amber asked her.

"Yeah, why do you ask?" Madiline asked her.

"Well, you are sitting alone in the mess hall." Amber pointed out.

Madiline only nodded as she rested her chin on the table.

"I'm here for you Madi." Amber told her.

"I know." Madiline told her. "I just don't know why they won't let me go to do field training."

"I told them to wait." Amber told her.

"Why?" Madiline asked her.

"Because I don't want you to go out there half-cocked." Amber told her.

"I'm bet they didn't do this to you." Madiline replied.

"Out of the fourteen years that I've been here; they had me training for five of them." Amber told her.

Madeline looked at her slightly surprised.

"Because of it, I have never come close to being caught." Amber told her.

"I just can't sit here and do nothing Amber." Madiline replied.

"Tell you what." Amber started. "Work really hard these next few days and I'll see if you can come on patrol with me."

Madiline smiled and hugged Amber tightly.

"Now, we have to work on your agility and balance." Amber told her.

Madiline nodded and followed Amber out of the mess hall and to the obstacle course.

Amber climbed onto the beam that started the balance course and help Madiline on behind her.

"Just follow my steps." Amber told her.

Madiline nodded as she held onto Amber slightly as the beam rose to ten feet off the ground. Amber started walking forward slowly as the beam swung forward slightly and Madiline followed behind her.

"Depending on the situation, you'll either need to sneak in somewhere to observe or obtain a piece of intel or get out of an area as quickly as you can without hurting yourself." Amber told her.

"Gotcha sis." Madiline replied.

Amber smiled as she continued to walk along silently without hesitation where as Madiline ended up her face in Amber back everytime she tripped up.

"Just take your time Madi." Amber told her. " Let your feet get used to the feel and curvature of the beam."

Amber turned around to be able to take Madeline's hands and walk backwards so Madeline could focus on her foot placement as she went along. Once they got the end of the course they went through it again but this time Amber was behind Madeline as she walked through the course. After going throught the whole course like that Madiline worked up enough confidence to do the course while Amber watched from the ground. There were time when Madiline would slip slightly but she would catch herself and keep going. After a few hours of going the course Madiline slipped completely but Amber got into position in enough time to catch her

"Are you alright?" Amber asked her.

"I am now." Madiline replied as Amber set her down.

"You gave me bit of a scare right there." Amber told her.

"I didn't mean to; my foot slipped and I've been doing this for a while now." Madiline told her. "I guess I'm just tired."

"Then let me take you back to your room so you can go to sleep." Amber replied.

Madiline smiled and nodded as she took Amber's hand and walked her back to her room. After Amber got Madiline to her room and tucked her into bed Amber had gone back to her own quaters and settled into her cot. She could already tell that the young weasel had a bright future ahead of her as Amber fell asleep.
