Suddenly Femto came to her side and licked the nekomata's face as they flipped out of the chair onto their feet. While Merius fixed her headlamp helmet, Zel gave them orders, a simple mission that anyone of them could do, but with the extra weight of both Kira and Nebu she was gonna be slightly slowed down."[color=brown] Alright Zealous, I'd prefer to do this on my own without having to worry about the other set of feet following me, but I'll do it.[/color]" She patted Femto behind the ears and climbed into his saddle. If Femto was an actual wolf now he would be able to scout and return to Merius but being a wolf and not an npc, or rather person, he wouldn't be able to relay any of his findings. This was a bad time for Merius' captains to be gone, the others called them servants, but Merius decided to choose a more fitting title for them they wouldn't do much besides defend the Guild house from people who would try anything unsavory. Merius groaned, but it ended up coming out as nekomata's "[color=brown]Nya[/color]" Ignoring it she pointed over to Nebuchi."[color=brown] I'm gonna assume lead for this scouting mission Nebuchi, I'm going to trust that you won't give into your stark blood lust and can survive in cold weather like I can.[/color]" She assumed."[color=brown] I don't want or have to need Sir femto to drag you back inside because you froze on me and start suffering from hyperthermia.[/color]" Merius fixed her helmet once more grabbing the front brim of it."[color=brown] Kira, just stay close to Femto for warmth, if you absolutely have to use the gate to make a retreat for yourself, don't let the early stages of hyperthermia get to you, I know with my combined skills I could be out there for hours, but you and Nebuchi I don't know about.[/color]" She looked at the both of them."[color=brown] If you aren't ready right now, I suggest you get ready because I'd rather we not be out there after dark, cold weather temperatures are gonna be freezing making our hard job even harder.[/color]" Merius told them the truth. Cold weather training was a killer to most not ready for it, the old memories Merius had of their cold weather training was a drag to get through with their old squad and they couldn't remember how they toughed through the freezing weather and everything they had to do to keep themselves from freezing to death or Freezing till they were medevacted."[color=brown] Just know that cold can be a killer as much as anything we can find out there, don't take it lightly.[/color]" She warned them."[color=brown] Some of the early symptoms of of hyperthermia are confusion, dizziness, headache, and an elevated heart rate. Followed by fainted and coma, so stay in constant communication and if you feel off speak up.[/color]" [@Crusader Lord][@Zelosse][@Ookawa]
