Harstac was standing in line with the others. Even someone completely oblivious of the interesting color around his eye and of all the other spots of interesting color that were spread all over his body could recognize that he was well beaten. The way he stood was a bit odd, but he had to transfer his weight to whatever part there was any strength left in. This morning had not exactly been a pleasure, but at least he knew that strains of this magnitude would result in his anomaly of a body to perform visible adaptations some day.

Anomaly... That word was a bit of an understatement for what he was treated like. With the soothing exception of Kale and Raxxar, most of the people around here had been presenting him with fear, disgust and general non-acceptance since the day he had arrived. If the other recruits he was standing in line with would add any exceptions to that... - he severely doubted it. The way that small girl kept a constant eye on him was just confirming this. Harstac could understand that almost everyone here must have looked intimidating to her in one way or the other, but if he had started being totally considerate of everyone's feelings, he would have had to make a run for the other end of the world. So he got moving in a very sluggish way.

He went past the racks as he inteded to do things the other way round. The quartermaster had ordered the back of the wagon to be left open, so he squeezed his wings into there as long as no one else occupied that place. With his claws scratching on the surface here and there, he inspected the armors with the look of someone uneducated. Harstac gently knocked onto some of the plates in order to guess how thick they were, but this was merely out of interest. The problem was that everything here would require modification to fit his body, but as Xan had stated this would not be a problem, he felt free to grab a piece of very thick chainmail armor that would cover his entire body. [color=ec008c]"Will this be a problem ?"[/color] he asked, pointing at what he had in mind.
