[quote=@Kitsune][h3]Sergeant Harald[/h3] Harald relaxed the moment that they were outside of the building [i][b]"At last. Oh Welcome to the team by the way."[/b] [/i]He tried to put a arm around Kyo's shoulder by this point, he was happy that another Darcsen had joined their squad and a tough looking one at that. [i][b]"Impressive sword by the way, i'm surprised you can effectively use that thing in real combat"[/b][/i] He gestured to it as they were walking and he took his arm away. [/quote] Kyo shrank his body away from the Sergeant's arms. He did not know this man aside from his name, rank and the fact he's the superior officer. Besides, it had been how many years since he ever let himself touched? It won't change now. "[i]The sword's name is Kirugane, Sir. And I view it same as my arms and legs. I promise Sir it will not hinder my movement along with the unit.[/i]" Kyo responded while also trying to reassure his superior that his unique choice of weaponry won't burden the 4th Squad during battle. The remainder of the time they walked towards the Squad Four's camp quietly. When they arrived Kyo introduced himself as it was required."[i]I am Private First Class Kyo and...[/i]" With a deft move he pierced his giant sword to the ground next to him. "[i]This is Kirugane, my weapon and best friend. We'll be in your care from now on.[/i]" He said so and meant it. Still, seeing a short and boyish soldier with a sword almost as tall as himself was quite an unusual sight. The fact he treated the weapon as his life partner like old school warriors did only managed to raise that strange impression up to eleven. Yet Kyo didn't mind. He was the son of a great warrior and he wanted to be proud of it. That's about the only thing he had left. [quote=@Kitsune]Alex interrupted their Sargent, her eyes looking sharper than before as she pointed towards Kyo [b]"What is with that imperial breastplate?" [/b] She suspected that it was her imperial nature but seeing a Darcsen wear something like that worried her if he knew who she was, and got her a little ticked off. at the same time. The only thing that was the same about her was her build and eyes, though her crimson red eyes could have been enough, but she was overthinking it, like the other imperial it is possible that he knew nothing, or was just someone who took it as a trophy.[/quote] [quote=@Kitsune]It did make him stand out a little, along with his chest plate and Darcsen shawl he could tell the others may have been a little shocked by him as well given the looks on their faces.[b] [i]"Ah I see you are ready, good! This is Private First Class Kyo, and-."[/i][/b] Alex interrupted him by this point, pointing out one of the more risky parts of the mans outfit, and he could understand why. [i][b]"Kyo, can you explain it? Just for everyone's piece of mind?"[/b][/i] Weapons were mostly fine, but it was uncommon to be wearing their armor, accidents can happen after all. [/quote]"[i]Yes Sir! My fighting style differs from the practices of Shocktroopers and with the suggestion of Corporal Paul Lorenz my former squad leader I created this gear for me. As a low-ranking Militia I could not ask the quartermaster for armor and I had to appropriate this from fallen enemy soldiers on the battlefield. This breastplate may look worn out but it already saved my life once.[/i]" To reinforce his point Kyo put his finger next to a spherical dent left behind by a pistol caliber bullet, apparently shot from an imperial SMG."[i]My dress code and gear is non-standard but I have the 11th and 12th company captains' written approval. Albeit if our squad leader agrees I'd wish to borrow supplies to paint over this armor and match the standard Militia colors. Would it be alright, Sir?[/i]" [@Lennon79]
