I wonder if recruits of the same race will group up with each other in their downtime? Because I remember seeing a post in reddit showing how all the Roes stayed together while the non-roes where on the other end.

I have 3 male Au Ra and they're together most of the time, especially whilst training and they seem to ignore the female Elezen


Talking to each other while the Elezen is working out in the corner


And here they are doing pushups while the the Elezen is doing Taichi(?)

It happens so often that I head cannon that they stick together since Au Ra are new and discriminated against (somewhat) in Eorzea.
