Ever since Desmond had enlisted in the army, his performance had been exceptional, attracting a great deal of attention after the bitter winter's battle and the skirmish in the forest the day before. So it was only expected that his presence would be noticed as soon as he entered the building.
Due to the bloody mess Desmond found in his yard, his day had to start with a fair amount of explaining to his superiors, not to mention the work that went into cleaning up human remains from the lawn.
With no tears to shed, Desmond even had to skip breakfast, though given the strange looks he received from Sasha and Claire as he passed through the dining room, perhaps it was for the best that he didn't stay. As for the other person involved in the incident last night? Desmond caught a glimpse of her looking back at him from a corner with a blush painting her face all over.
