[ She makes her way back a bit later, looking ... altogether too pleased with herself, considering. ]
Ah, hello again! [ She settles in by the falls herself. ] Sorry about earlier. I may have neglected to deliver some important documents? But I managed to escape being told off, for now. I have places in this forest they couldn't dream of. Though I suppose that may become an issue next time I'm on duty.
[ ... Hm. Foresight was never a strong point of hers. She's probably quite lucky their superiors don't take their unit terribly seriously yet. ]
Mm, I'm certain I'll find a way to get them to let me off. Would you punish such a face?
[ She gives her most innocent expression. Rather than forgetful, she routinely attempts to push the limits of what she can get away with. Oddly, it has yet to backfire, but although on some level she's knows it's just a matter of time, she does not seem keen on cleaning up her act. ]
Ah, but I can get serious when I need to be.
[ When it's fun, or there's a challenge involved. Whoever let this girl serve in a military capacity must surely be regretting it. ]
[Val grins in the face of that too-innocent expression. There's a part of her that wishes that she could be that carefree, that fun, but she knows she'll never get there. She's too reserved, too insecure in too many ways to be that free with her joy.]
You would not be here otherwise. [The world is just too dangerous to let someone be that carefree for too long.]

I have never just ran from the captain, though. That's a new one. I might try that next time. [There's laughter in her voice.
She's never going to actually try that. Val's a bit too straight-laced for that.]
