Armor Up?

[the_aunt_general]

[She waves when the camera comes on, immediately pointing downwards to indicate where the subtitles will be as she signs. Her hands start to move, gently, signing her words. The text appears, as it does, at the bottom.]

Greetings, fellow travellers. Or prisoners. Not really sure which we are. Possibly both.

[A slight pause]

I mean, this also seems fairly close to a penal battalion, but that's more philosophy than I'd like today. But in any event, I'm General Amaya, soldier of Katolis, for those who don't know me. As a Knight of the Realm, I'm meant to serve on the front line, as you may have guessed. Which is significantly more difficult without my armor.

[She gestures at tunic she's wearing, which she'd picked up on the last mission.]

And I'm going to apologize in advance for my...take charge nature during missions. I promise that I do know what I'm doing, but I also promise I'll listen to reason when I'm dealing with things I don't know. Which, around here, is a lot.

[She offers a kind smile, pulling her shield and sword into view.]

And while these are my main offence and defence - I'm feeling pretty naked out there - is there anybody on board who can forge armour? I'm not sure how I could repay the favour right now, but it'd definitely be at least a few owed.

Comments

[the_aunt_general]

[She nods, her look thankful.]

Thank you. That helps a lot. She's not an elf by any chance?

[blitzcheer]

Elf? No - elf ears point that way, right? [ He moves his forefingers to point backwards. ]

Her ears are...up here. This way!

[ And now, witness: Cat ears, pointed up! ]

[the_aunt_general]

[She nods. Ok, new species, interesting. Elves she knows well enough.]

Ah, ok. Thank you.

[blitzcheer]

No problem! [ Well that was easy enough. ]

If you wanna check those suits out later, come find me. Or they're in the amoury. Not flashy, but... you can wear something over it?

[the_aunt_general]

[She nods.]

Sounds like a plan - someone experienced nearby helps with sorting the details.

[blitzcheer]

Yeah! I mean, we haven't got a whole lot, but we try. If you need someone to go through what we have, I don't mind helping. Or there's Roland - he's more professional and part of Purple too.

I can tell him to come meet you! He loves the details.

[ There's some fondness said with that. Teasing, but in a respecting way. ]

[the_aunt_general]

[She nodded.]

I'd appreciate that.

[blitzcheer]

No prob! Alright, see you around later - if you don't find Roland in the armoury, try the library next door first! Probably be better for waiting in.

[ And with that, Tidus will leave to tell the other guy the great news of being on the beck and call of a new Purple. Isn't that the type of life he loves anyway? ]
