[As usual, upon stirring from sleep, Olivier reaches for her most trusted companion, the sword passed down from one Armstrong to another for generations, only to wind up with a handful of hair.
She quickly withdraws her hand, puzzled by the occurance.
She always slept on the left side of the bed, just so she could reach for her sword with her

[Well that gets him awake - it's not every day he wakes up with a face full of flowers. And for the third time since arriving in Mayfield, he's surprised to find himself in a bed he doesn't belong in. Going from groggy to awake almost instantly, he looks around - what the hell is this place? And why the hell is Olivier-]

[Holy...]
[He stares just for a moment before her order sinks in, and he forces himself to ignore the fact that she looks damn good as he gets to his feet. Focusing on his girlfriend seems to do the trick in getting his attention off her, and now he's prepared to search]
Wait, the windows and doors don't work?

They don't work for me, but I can't even purchase my own gun, so you might as well try.

[He gives the door a try. Nada. The windows? Same story, and both of them are unarmed. Still, he's got one trick left]
Stand back, sir. I'll give my persona a shot.

Go ahead.

That... that was my strongest spell...

Maybe the glass is a bit weaker than the door.
[She hurls the table at the floor to ceiling windows, but it just makes a dull thud and crashes to the floor. Her shoulders slump as she looks over at Yosuke.]
Has this ever happened before?

I've been shot, forced to tell the truth and forced to drink milk, but this is the first time I've been trapped in a... what the hell is this place anyway?
[He gives the place a second look and his face pales as he figures it out]

It appears to be a hotel room. [She's gesturing to the lidded tray sitting on the table, probably a romantic dinner if she took the, now disheveled, bouquet of roses as a hint.]

... what the hell.
I mean, there's nothing wrong with you! You're a beautiful woman! But I have a girlfriend!

Don't worry about that, there's quite the age gap, and I'm not looking for that kind of distraction right now.
[She considers another attempt at the window, but sits back down on the bed. She's about to say something, but spots the little refrigerator. She eyes the food tray again wondering if it's safe to eat.]
I once got stuck in a cave during a blizzard with a handful of my subordinates. This can't be any worse than that.

A blizzard? What did you do, just wait it out?

For the most part, there was an encounter with a bear. Have you ever had bear? It isn't bad when cooked properly, but when it's not...[She trails off and shakes her head, remembering waking up to Miles and Buccaneer facing off against said bear.]

Wait wait wait. You're telling me you fought a bear?

I'm sure my subordinates could have handled it. Buccaneer does [he just might notice her features darken for a moment when she corrects herself.], did have an automail arm, the particular model he was wearing had diamond tipped claws on it, which came in handy when it was time to slice the thing open. Miles had his guns, he's almost a good a shot as Hawkeye.
But, I hadn't slept in days, and that damn bear's growl echoed off of every nook and cranny in that cave. And my men know when to let me fight. [Her last sentence leaves her to remember they also know when to hold her back from fighting.]

So your two men stood back and watched you tear apart a bear. And you're not making this up.

I am a front of the line general, of course they did. They follow me because of my strength and goals. And I wasn't about to lose sleep over a stupid bear. Sleep is a precious commodity for soldiers in Briggs. The sooner it was dead, the sooner I got back to sleep. [Lies, the adrenaline kept her awake for a bit.]
And yes, they stood back and watched me tear it to shreds with my sword. There are some advantages to being the smaller opponent at times.
