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.

[Good comparison. She nods in agreement, but watches the runes in fascination]

[runicfeathers]

[Once the runes takes shape, they flicker as they hover there, before she lays them over the bow and they sink in.]

That's how they work, I just enhanced my bow's durability and strength so it will be less likely to break on me.

[the_aunt_general]

[Well that's damned useful and she wishes someone had thought of that back in Katolis.]

Ok, colour me impressed.

[runicfeathers]

[She'll never get over people being impressed by her ability to use runes, it gives her a boost of pride when they do.]

It's a rare ability where I come from, one I was lucky to be born with, so it's good to offer to others here where I can help. It can be used on more than just weapons or armour too.

[the_aunt_general]

[Well, none of this is making her any less interested, that's for sure.]

Must come in handy.
