Tarkus sat at attention, when Arrun's speech finally hit it's Apex his back was straighter than a 2x4, his arm encased in Zoll clutched his right knee, he was lost in thought about Arrun's words as the speech concluded, thinking about all that he'd done in his training at Signal.[i]"He's right...There's no sense in a door open if nobody's going to walk through it, no point in a bridge being built with none to walk it. But...With Cadeyrn at the very least...I've already taken the first step."[/i] He thought silently as he grasped the handle of Cadeyrn with Zoll, oddly Cadeyrn felt lighter than ever, he wasn't sure if he'd just done enough conditioning with his arms, or if Zoll was bolstering his strength, but it didn't matter. 

His mind snapped back from philosophical land when Morella elbowed him, she asked about what they should do until the time came, and Tarkus slowly rose from his seat. He turned to her with the most stony face imagineable, the look on his face would have been enough to convince someone that he'd seen men sliced in two, the kind of look a veteran soldier with a missing leg gives their family after returning from war. He turned his head to the ground, and he clenched his fist before saying:
[b]"Cindy...Isn't it obvious? We should..."[/b] He paused for a moment, now looking straight up into the ceiling, before finishing with: [b]"We should...GO GET SOME FREE FOOD!"[/b] His expression turned a complete 180, his eyes now alight and a grin beaming across his face. He must have looked like he was ready to bolt out of there, but he still looked eagerly at Morella for her decision. That and he thought about food.
