Ever so silent as he worked, the officer listened and nodded along distractedly, he only looked up once Rider shot him an query.[color=#8c8c8c]"[b][i]Honestly surprised? Yes, I expected you to be more silent about it.[/i][/b]"[/color], Emmerich admitted with bluntness as Rider asked - And with that, he returned to meddling with magecraft and technology while Rider sunk into his long-winded reminiscence of his troubled love-life. Again all his responses were simplified into grunts of approval and nodding, but eventually the tall man raised his head. Awkwardly, he watched and listened hunched over and still halfways inside the car's interior. The first-hand accounts of such a legendary story captured his attention and soon the poorly clad officer was leaning against the unmarked vehicle with a cigarette hanging from his lips and his arms crossed. He did not appear particularly drawn in by the tale, but the glint in his blue eyes fixated on where Rider would be spoke of different things. By the end, he only muttered a note of interest. [color=#8c8c8c]"[b][i]I... Did not expect you to be so [u]human[/u]. For something that I considered an otherworldy being, you are unexpectedly relatable - Which is truly heartening, to be frank.[/i][/b]"[/color] With that, he cracked a smile he soon subdued.

[color=#8c8c8c]"[b][i]Nothing will be crashing against us, Rider. On the contrary - It is You who shall do the crashing.[/i][/b]"[/color], Emmerich explained meticulously. [color=#8c8c8c]"[b][i]As I have said, I've foreseen a defeat at the Church. If we lose the sector then it is a loss I've accounted for; It slams the trap on the Jap' shut.[/i][/b]"[/color] The officer scrambled for something in the trunk of the car. It did not take long until he retrieved a squared piece of paper that looked awfully fresh and new in comparison to everything else stored within the vehicle. With a gesture of his index finger and a quick spring to his step, he hailed Rider over as he opened the document on the hood of the car: A map.

[color=#8c8c8c]"[b][i]Initially we were meant to spearhead an offensive that would swipe away anything 'till it reaches the academy west of us - It's a simple trick from the old book, my Rittl. One advance team moves ahead to secure and scout out the target location whilst the frontline steadily closes up behind them.[/i][/b]"[/color] The markings of the map, wild scribblings of black and red, were easy to follow despite the many other alternative markings already crossed out beside them. The lanky officer traced his hand over the right side of the paper, severing what would be Shinto in half vertically. [color=#8c8c8c]"[b][i]We're always in arm's reach of each other, should an attack occur. We can always expect another team to be able to help us in any situation and all our sides are protected by either our allies or a natural obstacle, assuming that the enemy has no naval capabilities that is. However...[/i][/b]"[/color], he said as he exasperatedly tapped his gold-bearing ring finger against a crucifix drawn on the document. [color=#8c8c8c]"[b][i]The Church has caused me a bit of a head ache. It is neutral grounds, we do not want to be careless by annexing it. So should the enemy show up, which I believe he might already have, and should this enemy foolishly pursue Bauer Herstelle...[/i][/b]"[/color] He paused. A moment of uncertainty sunk into Emmerich before he continued, reassuring himself. [color=#8c8c8c]"[b][i]Yes, if they stay around the church for too long, we may encircle them, separate them and individually eliminate them. We, Rider, are the lid that will close off this encirclement if the chance arises: An ample chance to show off your heroics, if I may suggest.[/i][/b]"[/color], came his steadfast conclusion as the enthusiasm grew palpable in his speech. [color=#8c8c8c]"[b][i][u]We shall skewer them most mercilessly[/u].[/i][/b]"[/color]
