Fell looked to his side when Liara began to voice her own opinion, nodding in response to her thoughts. The girl was dedicated... Maybe a bit foolish, but very determined. Such respect for a commander... It was not earned easily. It cheered the senior up a bit, his big lips curling up into a gentle smile. But wen she started about the war... Fell couldn't help but close his eyes in response. "Aye, this war... It's not a pleasant thing. I've seen many fall in my days... But we must endure, as victory shall most certainly be ours." The words seemed surprisingly hollow for the fact they were supposed to be convincing, Fell not opening his eyes yet. But he would soon when Noone started growling slightly. "Something wrong, girl?" It was at that moment Fell noticed Arlan acting strange as well, sniffing something out. Was someone there? Fell's concern showed soon to be for naught when Calliope came into view, Noone already relaxing. Arlan didn't though, taking a defensive position in front of Liara. [i]Those two are made for each other.[/i] Shot through the bruiser's head. Calliope hid her nerves about as well as a sabertooth did its fangs. The leader figure had obvious tells, the clenching of hands being the most obvious. "Afternoon to you as well, Ms. Triske!" Fell replied cheerily, his previously stern expression growing into a friendly and inviting smile. He was positively towering over Calliope, which isn't surprising considering her age and profession. She needed to be light, so her stature suited her needs more than adequately. It was also adorable how she seemed to be smitten by Noone's beauty, although Liara didn't seem to notice. It'd be rude to point it out anyway, so Fell decided to keep silent. Noone didn't, though, as she noticed the attention on her. The wolf gently stepped forward and next to Calliope, raising her head upwards whilst wagging her tail. It was obvious why Noone did that, she wanted to be petted. "Har har!" Noticing his partner's behavior, Fell let out a hearty laugh. "Ms. Triske, it seems my little companion desires a few rubs on her head. Would you be so kind as to provide them for me? If you would, I'm sure Noone would have no problem letting you tag along!" The man's smile was widening by the second, glad for the tension being relieved.
