@Slenn: Hmmm... I think there was a few times where Noel and Austin were around the Mason Sisters, but they were relatively ignored to everybody around them. Like a little time bubble to themselves... WOW, that sounded cheezy...
Austin scratched his head. "Woke up, trained, had to file another report back to Mother Base... And here I am." He smiled at Noel, hugging her again. "Did he even have a 'sword' though? I couldn't see properly."
@Hatch: Hmmm, according to the blazblue wiki, Noel is 5'1.8"
Austin is only 5'5".
