Ryker got a chilly response from Yalu once they dusted themselves off. [colour=ff4d27]"Do not speak of it,"[/colour] he spat before moving on without reciprocating the handshake. Yalu did not make clear whether he was distracted or intentionally curt. It seemed like both.

Yalu kept his helmet on and his communications austere for the clean up and the ride back to base.

Yalu had composed himself enough with the task of rearming for the assault on the keep. He was no stranger to such places, and as such rearmed his scattershot and needle rifle. However, if they were going in heavy, he knew exactly what to ask for to assist their surgical strike. He approached Ryker's vehicle with large rectangular ordnance cases in each hand while the spartan was seeing through its inspections. One after the other, he lifted them onto the brackets behind the main gun.

[colour=ff4d27]"I have come to seek pardon for my earlier tone,"[/colour] he proclaimed, before unlatching both cases to reveal a spartan laser and a rocket launcher. [colour=ff4d27]"I will be taking a Banshee in during the initial approach. You will need fire support."[/colour]
