He kept his tongue bit down as everyone talked. He wasn't really done talking with Griff but it sounded like the young man had enough talking. [color red]"I had a younger brother who died, my twin actually, younger only by a few minutes."[/color] Arrish turned to look at Aurora while he continued talking, not wanting to keep his gaze focused on Griff.[color red]"I'll keep it brief, but I just want to remind you that everyone's lost someone here. My attitude? It's not because I'm noble; It's because I can't stand to watch someone get attacked, especially when they can't or won't protect themselves."[/color]

He pushed up his sunglasses a bit more and looked away from both of them, directing his focus somewhere on a nearby wall where he didn't have to be around those prying eyes. Mentally he cursed himself for getting emotional during a meeting. He had already done all his crying over his brother and that was years ago. He steeled himself and focused back on the words Aurora had said after his initial talk with Griff.

[color red]"Your plan sounds solid, Aurora. I've gone over some of the general strengths and weaknesses already so instead I'll remind everyone that this is a full team vs team skirmish, we're not out until each and every one of us is down unless Lorenzo makes the call. This means even if Sleepy goes down in the fight we haven't lost, and the same goes for Shiva. The Cruxi won't stop until every single one of us is dead or we make a tactical retreat. We should assume that the same will go for Team Mango."[/color]

He paused for a moment before adding. [color red]"I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not really planning on giving Team Mango an easy time. We give them hell and we'll go down fighting to the very last. Hoorah!"[/color]
