Icarus was laughed at the antics of his pink-haired teammate before accepting the offered plate from his tribal comrade with a raised eyebrow. [color=gray]"Cochise, you don't have to make me breakfast. Thanks anyway though."[/color] He shook his head with a sigh before hurriedly eating the meal and pushing the emptied plate forward. He fell quiet again as the conversation continued, mentally conceding Kylie's point that none of them could really be sure that it was, in fact, a mission assignment until the Boss confirmed it for them.

His eyes flicked over to the door as the man in question arrived, greeting him with a wordless nod and listening to the quick morning briefing until he strode out again. Icarus waited for a few seconds, going over a few things in his head before draining the last of his coffee and rising from his seat. [color=gray]"I'm going to get some practice with Balmung's firearm modes in the woods to the east of the hideout. Need to improve my awareness in tighter areas, and my effectiveness at longer ranges. If someone wants to come with me, they're welcome to."[/color] As it was, Kylie was Night Raid's only dedicated long-range specialist but her Inari lacked the range of the Roman Artillery, which gave the Empire a deadly advantage should they deploy it, and the weapon's basis as a bow and arrow severely limited her effectiveness at closer ranges and indoors. With enough practice and experimentation, Icarus could cover those weaknesses with Fafnir and Balmung. Finishing his words, he placed the used coffee mug in the sink and waited for a moment, just in case someone decided to tag along after all.
