Kathrine was the only one to respond to Felix's greeting, but she seemed to be distracted by something, given the blank look on her face. Odd, given how she was usually so friendly. Even if there was something off-putting about her constant friendliness, she was still better than Isis' constant adherence to the rules and lack of fun. And the less said about that emo Carbon, the better. That still left Southey and Rinshan, but Felix was rather neutral on both of them. Southey was rather easy to steal from, as Felix himself could attest to when he'd nabbed her canteen on a mission a few weeks back. Still, he'd actually felt bad about that one, given how much it seemed to be like kicking a wounded puppy. And Rinshan was, well, just a kid. She was sweet enough, he supposed, but rather boring. Just some kid with no potential for any sort of violent fun yet. He probably would've been able to get a good brawl out of her in a year if it hadn't been for the whole cripple thing, really. 

"And you're usually so friendly, too." He gave Kathrine a teasing gripe, noting her slip. "I take it the heat's gotten to you, then?" 

But before anyone could say anything else, Commander Lightpost spoke up and gave them their mission before berating everyone but Isis for their lack of canteens. 

"Oh...right. Sorry, boss." Felix chuckled, awkwardly scratching the back of his head before shrugging. "Oh well. Not like I can't procure a canteen before we head out." And by procuring, he meant sneaking into somewhere he wasn't supposed to be and nabbing someone else's canteen for himself. Then again, it wasn't like he could actually say that to his commander. The only reason he hadn't been punished and possibly kicked out of Daedalus for stealing back in Al'Ket was because he had never actually been caught stealing and there was no real evidence to bring against him. 

Oh well. At least he didn't have to deal with Dumont today. The man was a damn good fighter and taught well, but he infuriatingly refused to fight Felix seriously. Even though the man wasn't a Fae anymore, Felix still had the feeling that he'd give him a better fight than anyone else in this sleepy little village. He'd tried provoking the man during training, but Dumont still wouldn't oblige. Oh, well. Might as well keep trying. Dumont would give in to the urge to stab him in the face sooner or later. 

"So find some kid that got lost in the woods and bring him back to his mother. Sounds simple enough." Felix grinned at both Kairn and Clark at the same time as an idle thought popped into his head. "Hey boss, if we don't get into any combat during this mission, can I fight Dumont for real after?" A hint of eager, but not malicious bloodthirst came across Felix's tone at the thought of finally getting a full-out, no-holds-barred fight.
