[color=ed1c24]"Romance, huh?"[/color] Katsuko mumbled to himself when Mikoto reflected on the brief story. Of course Katsuko would disagree with that label. He didn't find his tale romantic in the least. He wasn't here to avenge his father, certainly. He wasn't even here because he was expected to be. Though, since it was now on his mind, Katsuko briefly wondered why he [i]really[/i] joined the Red Sages. But that was something to ponder at another time. He had to focus most of his attention on Mikoto so as to memorize his story. [color=ed1c24]"Amatsurahashi,"[/color] he repeated, nailing the boy's surname on the first try. [color=ed1c24]"Got it."[/color]

He continued to eat as Mikoto explained how his life was boring because of the Confederation and that was why he wanted to bring them down. Simple enough reason. Very simple. Katsuko was too distracted to hear his exact words when he mumbled under his breath, but he heard [i]something[/i] and gave Mikoto a skeptical glare in return. After a moment of silence, broken by the younger lad bringing up strategy, Katsuko took one last bite and finally finished off his tray of food. [color=ed1c24]"It's not that complicated to work with me, really,"[/color] he began, leaning back in his chair and relaxing. [color=ed1c24]"You've just gotta look at the battlefield like it has certain [i]zones[/i], and we should be sure to never be in the same zone unless there is an emergency. Something like that. It's mostly instinct, you'll understand when the situation comes up."

"But as for what we're doing... Let's just say we got the short stick, yeah. We have two objectives. Firstly we're going to nick some old blueprints for the sewer system under Old Amegakure. I've got a good idea of where they'll be, but that doesn't mean it's gonna be easy. The plans themselves aren't super valuable to the Confederation, but they are located in a vault that is full of stuff they do find some importance in. So there will be guards. Probably a dozen or so enemies, as an early estimate."[/color] At this point Katsuko grabbed his empty tray and stood from his seat. [color=ed1c24]"I'll explain the rest to you during the mission. Our objectives don't require as much planning as they require swift action, you know what I'm saying?"[/color] With his brief mission synopsis complete, the captain turned away to return the empty and surprisingly clean tray. [color=ed1c24][i]If Mikoto is like me then I understand why Seijo figured the two of us would be enough. Still, he might cause some problems in the end if he can't handle his share. I should conserve energy on the chance that he gets taken down and I have to carry out the rest by myself.[/i][/color] With a sigh he returned to the table Mikoto was at but didn't sit down. [color=ed1c24]"My only advice for when we fight together is to avoid looking at me. Not that I'm particularly distracting, but I don't want to accidentally knock you out. Any tricks up your sleeve I should be worried about?"[/color]
