[indent]The man's question had pulled a curious sound from Beryl's throat. The moment he had caught glimpse of them, he returned his slights frontward, cuffed his face betwixt his hands, and sighed dismally. Even to himself, the faint breath was filled with taunt regret and apprehension. [color=lightblue][b]"My life sucks so bad,"[/b][/color] he mumbled before perking up and standing to attention.

Beryl raised a brow now, his posture laxing, if not falling-apart altogether at her line of questioning. He had expected to be punished in the typical, Commander Lapin manner, which was often strict and stern. He touched his hand to his chin and pretended to be lost in thought; hearing the question before had provoked an answer unbidden, it was raw, crude even. But now he had to present it to the Commander. Should he just tell it to her straight? Tell her that morale was just as bleak and dull at the uniforms she was enforcing.

Speaking of the uniform. Beryl bowed slightly and apologized before dunking his helmet onto himself. Being surrounded by the smell of sweat and old metal was just torture, but he was certain the Commander could come up with something worst. So he obliged her with a smile. In place of actually stroking his chin, which became near impossible now, he turned from The Commander for a pause before saying.   

[color=lightblue][b]"First off, forgive me Commander. I honestly had no idea that it was you beside me. No disrespect was meant."[/b][/color] Then came the moment of truth. It was a risky gamble but The Commander looked genuine; there was something different in her face that beckoned for the truth. [color=lightblue][b]"As for your question... If I'm allowed to speak bluntly, Commander Lapin, moral is shot at best. Commander, we're SOLDIER, not infantry. We shouldn't be patrolling or wasting our time waiting for Gods-know-what. We should be out in the field, taking out the bad guys. I know I'm not the only SOLDIER that's eager to put AVALANCHE down."[/b][/color] [/indent]
