He would raise an eyebrow at her comment, working for the Exchange. That was a surprise to him; he would have expected her to go far in the military, but then again, he didn't know what, or why, she was in the military in the first place. Perhaps it was always going to be temporary.

If she worked at the Exchange, he wondered if she knew about his sister's case. Markus didn't remember if he had ever mentioned her when they were together. Small talk was never a priority, and although he shared letters with his sister. That had always been something he kept private when abroad for many reasons.
