OOC: This is a Story RP.
IC:

The Colonial War has started, but it doesn't mean that other Armies don't get a "vacation" from their training camps and bases.
Colonel Gregor Hahka - of the Helghast Infantry Division, of The Helghast 3rd Army - was ready to take a vacation. Normally, soldiers would go to their families for the time being; but Gregor Hahka's family was entirely deceased. He was a lonely man, and the day before going back to the city, he decided to search for a spouse.
In Dropship, one of the transport that brought soldiers home, was nearing the capitol city: Helghan. Hahka sat in the middle, between other soldiers. He was dressed in his - off-duty - uniform and was unarmed. He was travelling with his regular baggage: a bag with clothing, healthcare products, and spare food.
The entire time, he was just thinking about taking a wife. He wanted a beautiful woman - Helghasts are not known to use this word, but really, he wanted a woman considered "sexy". And also a woman a little bit younger than him.

The Dropship landed on a Dropship-pad. He and the other soldiers unloaded and said their temporary goodbyes. Now was his chance...

Colonel Hahka settled into a large facility - or apartment; this is different from other apartments because this complex houses soldiers of Helghan, who have no where to go.
He was given his same room he requested for long ago when he joined the Military. He didn't get random rooms everytime he returned from training; he kept the same room for the rest of his life.
The apartment was a little small but still having a good size: offering a small living room, adjacent to a smaller kitchen - which consisted of a counter, refridgerator, cabinets on the wall, a sink, stove, and dishwasher. And there was the bedroom, consisting of a closet, bed, and a dresser, and a table. And finally, there was the bathroom.
He finished unpacking for the four weeks away from the military. However, he was supposed to keep it simple because soldiers vacationing might be notified to return military uniform, if anything in the war against CorpSac may become severe.
Before he would go out, after finishing unpacking, Hahka opened the refridgerator and took out a fresh bag of uncooked rice. The staff of the apartments always placed fresh food in, returning, soldier's fridges before they become settled in.
Gregor Hahka set the rice next to the stove and then took out a clean pan. Later on, he had made himself a small rice meal with a cup of ice cold water.

It was late afternoon, and Hahka was outside the large complex. In the dark sky, Gregor can see dozens of Helghast Dropships in the air coming and leaving. On the streets, all there was was Helghast APCs rolling in and soldiers exiting them. By the third day, of Hahka's vacation, this entire mobilization will be finished. On the sidewalks, as Hahka walked soldiers were walking down to the Military Apartments complex and some entered their homes, that were nearby, with mothers, fathers, brothers or sisters, greeting them with hugs.
Civilians walked down the sidewalks - passing by or watching to see if their children or husbands were among some of the APCs. Gregor ignored this because he was too preoccupied with trying to find a spouse.

As Gregor walked through the streets, he listened to Helghast loudspeakers. Their topic was concerning the war against CorpSac and the conditions of the new law, he was aware of.
Still, civilians were standing among soldiers trying to find their loved one. Gregor walked among the crowds and stopped at an intersection as two Helghast APCs rode along the street. When they passed Hahka continued forward.
Gregor finally looked at the Helghast women in the streets, most were mothers and the attractive ones were far from his age.
Continuing walking, he was now in the Visari Square. A heavily populated part of the city. The markets were in great business every time soldiers were coming home for the time.
He looked at one women, she was young but close to Hahka's age. She had long blond hair, a bright face, and fit body. No one was with her. Hahka thought, Is she single? Or is her husband at work? I hope she's not married because I'm too interested. Oh well, couldn't hurt to talk to her.
As she walked near Gregor, finishing her shopping. The woman noticed Gregor and smiled. Then he waved toward her.
Suddenly, she walked up to him. She greeted him.
He replied slowly, "Hello."
"I've seen you before, mostly on the News and whenever military soldiers return for a period of time. Gregor Hahka is it?"
Hahka blushed lightly, he was surprised she heard of him. But mostly he blushed because of the sound of her voice. He loved it. "Yes, my name is Hahka. And you've seen me before?"
"Yeah. I heard that you turned down the offer to become Scolar Visari's Bodygaurd last year."
"That's true. I have done that, but it was because I'd rather be a Soldier than a Protectorate." Protectorate was another word for Bodygaurd.
"I know. I also think I knew you when I was younger."
"You did? What makes you think that?"
"When I was young, I new someone with the name of Hahka."
"What's your name then?" He asked.
"Remona Sarnia."
"That's a nice name." He replied. Then he thought to himself. Remona Sarnia; Remona Sarnia. Hmm... "Did you have an older brother named Ori-en?"
"Yes!" She laughed.
"Now I remember you. I think I first saw you-"
"You were eleven - I was six."
"Yeah, I saw you walking alone in the streets. I was with my older brother when we were to go buy some fresh bread in the market place."
"Yep, now I remember clearly."
"Hmm...do you wanna sit down?"
"Maybe..."
"I have the day off from work."
"Okay fine." I think this could start a chain reaction if all goes well. I remember Remona long ago, I talked to her while her brother purchased food. And now, I feel as though I'm actually falling in love...
