Oscar's normally joyful face had turned serious and Kane's expression and poise sank from a dignified to grim, albeit woeful of the coming altercation that would soon arise. He was fortunately proved wrong following the centaur's resignation, and the air itself no longer seemed to weigh a ton as it did before. The two guardsmen relaxed, and Kane rested his spontoon on his shoulder, where Oscar simply sat the bottom of the shield on the ground and leaned against it, once more adopting his silly grin. “Fine!” Said the centaur as he threw his hands down. “Bloody marvelous!” Oscar chimed, beaming a proud smile at Kane. Kane, now feeling relaxed, briefly sighed to himself and looked to Oscar with mild amusement. “But tell me,” the centaur continued, prompting Kane to look back at him, “what is your name? And why won't your pathetic king allow Kuruk or the guards to fight the Legion head on?” Kane would have surrendered a guilty smile were he not on duty. Pathetic king. If there was any one thing in which he could consider himself alike to the brute before him, it'd be their mutual disdain for the king of Talbor. “I am Sir--” [i]'Damn, I'm still doing that.'[/i] “...Captain Kane Bounevialle of the G-2 Maceron guard division. Alongside me is one of my men, Oscar Gene.” Kane answered with a salute, a fist pressed squarely in the center of his armored chest. Oscar, with his smile, followed suit. “I cannot say for certain what the king's motivations are... but the guards and the walls surrounding Maceron is this city's last line of defense, and therefore, are requiring of fortification. The soldiers in Talbor's armies are the offensive branch of this country's military, and are making preparations to mount an offensive as we speak. You are free to fight the Legion as you please, outside the name of Talbor. Though due to their superior numbers and weaponry, that would be foolish.” “In layman's terms,” Oscar added, “we're working on it. You can throw as many rocks at the Legion as you'd like.”
