Ah, so the point of the address was more or less to kick-start relations between human and non-human students...Holly didn't much favor the Lieutenant's rhetoric, but she acknowledged that his monologue had fulfilled its purpose, as the audience began to mingle freely once the applause died down. A few officers and enlisted approached her in this manner; they were quite well-mannered and extended her a warm welcome. Strange as it may sound, though, she was somewhat disinterested throughout. Then she caught sight of Chris again...

Holly understood that he was opposed to the introduction of mamono into the ranks of his peers and classmates, but he was currently distant from everyone, not just from non-humans. This belligerent behavior nagged at her curiosity until she finally felt compelled to press her luck and approach him. She waded through the crowd and slowly entered his field of vision; if she wasn't immediately repulsed by the Staff Sergeant, she would offer her name and a simple handshake in introduction. It was hardly a complex greeting, but maybe an air of professionalism would help break the proverbial ice...
