[center][h3][color=92278f]Queen Sectonia[/color][/h3] Level 5 Sectonia (holding 1 level up) - (36/50) +2 Traveling through the desert Word Count: 868 [/center] Yes indeed, this 'doctor' was indeed quite offputting indeed. What really made Sectonia weary of him was his apparent lack of, well... personal space? Not in the physical sense, although an offhanded comment from Midna made Sectonia weary of this as well, but just... pure audacity. When approached by the man asking for how her body worked, Sectonia tried her best not to get angry, which to the medic would only be a stern look from the bee queen. [color=92278f]"Doctor, it is best not to ask a Queen such questions at this time."[/color] He was their healer in this group, and she knew some of the things they had to face, so she couldn't just up and go off on him when in the end he was support at the end of the day. Saying that, she did continue. [color=92278f]"My minions on the other hand I don't mind you working on. I have plenty more."[/color] This speech was a double meaning, since she caught Midna noticing the doctor's 'interest' in experiments, which Sectonia would rather avoid entirely. With the medic busy interacting with the phantom troop who had arrived, finding the ally they had been seeking, Sectonia hovered over to Midna and while the medic was preoccupied with the the transforming cat mascot of the group, Sectonia whispered to Midna. [color=92278f]"From one royalty to another, We should keep an eye on each other around that one."[/color] pointing at the Medic. With that said, she hovered back to look at the others as they traveled to their next destination. Seeing as they were her new 'minions' and unlike hers they had a mind of their own, Sectonia figured it would be best to understand what they all did. Although from the looks of things, she figured what most of them did by their gear. But if they had odd items like a Sandwich made using a Maximum Tomato, they might have hidden talents. Speaking of the sandwich wielding man, Sectonia started with him. [color=92278f]"So 'Heavy', Besides what I saw on the battlefield, is there anything else I should know about what you do?"[/color] Sectonia asked Heavy. Out of everyone they had recruited, he seemed to show the queen the most respect, so she started with him. After hearing the Heavy explain himself, Sectonia had one followup question, curious as to the Sandvich he offered earlier. [color=92278f]"You ate that earlier, no? How many do you have?"[/color] She did take the offered Sandvich, tearing off a small bit to try. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't something she preferred. Sandwiches were not her preferred food, as she preferred much sweater tasting dishes. Sandwiches did exist in Floralia much like the heavy described, although the meats were far different, most likely animals from his land. She would put this preference aside if she needed to eat this maximum tomato substitute in the future. [color=92278f]"An interesting Maximum Tomato substitute. Thank You."[/color] Sectonia then moved on to the other mercs, giving the other merc who inquired about the item the other half of the Sandvich, the queen having reservations about Maximum Tomatoes, and by proxy, their substitutes. She listened to the other mercs as they explained what they could do, getting a feel of their capabilities as well. Much like Heavy, they were gruff and big, although one of them tried to keep a bit of grace about him which Sectonia appreciated. Although that being said, ALL of the mercenaries needed a bath Sectonia noticed getting this close to them, something that would need to be remedied when they weren't all in a desert. The last one she got to was the Medic as he was being quite the 'busy bee' himself. While he had already explained his medical knowledge and all of that, Sectonia asked. [color=92278f]"And you Doctor. I know of your medical knowledge and healing, but do you have a way to protect yourself on the battlefield? The Medibot we have in another group of ours uses a shield and her fists."[/color] With the party having their next goal, a cliff side being called out by one of the phantom troop, the divine beast made its way there. However many had their concerns as to how they would travel with such a large group without it which was a concern. Some even voiced their concerns that they'd leave this mode of travel behind entirely upon reaching the cliff and bridge that were where they needed to go. Sectonia thought about that alongside the phantom troop, as their method of crossing the desert before the divine beast wouldn't work anymore with their additional members, some being quite heavy. [color=92278f]"Hm... We may need to walk it then. Heat will not be an issue."[/color] She thought a bit more then said. [color=92278f]"You said the area was crumbling? Then staying out of heavy vehicles would be best."[/color] She then looked at the heavier mercs thinking about that once again. There was no way she could help them if they fell, so, as everyone started to look at their destination, Sectonia hovered over to Poppi and said. [color=92278f]"If one of them falls, it will take us both to rescue them."[/color] She wouldn't make a habit to rescue them if they proved to not be worth the effort, but they would at least be given the opportunity to try.
