Kendo seemingly appeared out of the shadows, falling into step with Maya. His grin was wide, his eyes twinkling.

"Why, hello!"

He had cleaned up, pulling on a fresh pair of clothing. He had brushed his hair, and tied it into it's normal ponytail, and had grabbed his quarterstaff, slung over his back.

"What'd he say?"
Is it
wickedness?

Or is it
weakness?

Following the others, Emiru made her way over to the assignment station.
Oh, how she hated war. It made everything more exhausting.

Most people looked like they were either miserable or had just woken up, but she noticed a guy seemingly appear out of the shadows, with a grin as wide as ever.

For now, perhaps it was best to blend with the crowd.

Watching as the next shift trickled in late, Elliot huffed through his nose as he leaned over the walls. There was undeniably an air of frustration that accompanied the shift as everyone had to stay behind to make up for the other's tardiness and honestly, after staying up for so many hours throughout the night, it was understandable. Finally though, Marius barked at them to leave though he did stop Elliot when he made to trudge out of the horrid walls, he was stopped by the man and given the worst news yet. Apparently, because of some incompetence in the shift, someone had to stay behind and make up for the numbers and he was the lucky lucky candidate. Face twisting into a snarl, Elliot half thought about just pushing past the old coot and just leave. He missed his husband, damn it, and after a long night of squinting into the darkness, the last thing he wanted was more standing around.

"Fine, I'll do it. But I expect that we'll get the appropriate compensation. You'll be sending better doctors to look after my family, yes?" He spat, jabbing a finger at the man. It was the least he could do, being stuck on a desolate piece of rock. He wasn't exactly happy about it, who would be, but at least it meant that his family would be getting what they needed.

The sun reaches a point in the sky indicating for Sage to leave her post and head to the assignment station. It had been a boring morning so far, but any moment could turn for the worse. Sage makes for the station. Reaching it just after the others, they attempt to fall into line, but are pushed out. Seeing Kendo and co, Sage shoves through the crowd to be next to them. Tapping Kendo on the shoulder, Sage smiles. "How's the morning going?"

kendo grinned.

"heeey, Sage!"

he let out a sarcastic, long-suffering sigh.

"Ah, I was dragged out of the bar by Athos, Porthos and Aramis over here."

Sage always had a sort of contempt towards Kendos' work ethic, finding them in a bar passed out more often than not, but they had to admit, when needed, Kendo was a force to be reckoned with, and a bright light in such a dark world. "Don't be too tough on them," Sage giggles. "Maybe if we found you at your post when need be, or at least in your own bed, we wouldn't have to drag you out be your ankles."

He laughed, his blue eyes twinkling the light.

"Ah, that's a fair point, that is. I really should get into a habit of going home at night, shouldn't I?"

He bounced on his feet, full of energy. He fiddled with the hilt of his sword, grinning like the fool he was as he talked.

"So what's the plan?" Sage asks him, plucking at the frills of an arrow. "Got a job for us?" It had been quiet on their front recently, only with a few hunting jobs or stragglers to take care of, but nonetheless, Sage checked the board every day, looking for something to do.

"Ah, not right now. I've been picking up a few jobs 'ere and there but there haven't been many jobs these days. It's getting quieter..."

His grin dropped.

"And you know what they say about things being quiet in a war."

Sage knew exactly what he meant. "We're in the eye of the storm," they said. "And it's only a matter of time before we're out." It had been quiet, but it was far from over. After the last conflict, both sides were left brutalized, with many of their numbers dwindling, but the enemy was much better left off. Sage was fighting alongside a group mostly of common folk, against an army. Hope was desolate in these parts, but Sage had to hold onto it. Not for themself, but for those that can't for themselves. "If nothing's going on, why don't we go do some training? Stay long enough and I'll pay for your bad habit tonight."

"Aya, this again?"

Kendo laughed, his hand subconsciously reaching for his sword. His eyes glinted, as he narrowed them.

"You think you can win this time?"

Sage punches Kendo in the shoulder. "Let's get somewhere where we won't mutilate our own people." The two make their way to the sparring ground and begin their fight. Sage draws their sandalwood longbow and fires a few specially tipped arrows at Kendo, so as to not pierce his skin. They would leave a dark bruise, but akendo was strong, and he'd manage.

He pulled his quarterstaff out. he deftly spun it in his hands, knocking away the arrows, though the last one caught him by the shoulder, sending him reeling.

"You've gotten faster with that thing, eh?"

He threw his staff to the side, pulling out his sword and his hatchet.

"My turn!"

He rushed forward, His hatchet raised, his sword trailing behind. The cover of his hatchet was still on, so it wouldn't slash through their skin, merely deal some blunt force damage.

Sage parrys the attack with a short dagger, but it's not enough to stop the swing completely. They are knocked back and stumble, but they stand up straight again. "As have you." Sage shows an array of arrows at Kendo, then follows behind them, hoping to catch Kendo off guard.

He sliced most of the arrows out of the air, being struck on the torso by one, before taking a step back. He brought his hatchet down on Sage's shoulder.

Sage falls to a knee, appearing defeated. "Nice blow. But don't let your guard down." They jam the hilt of the dagger into Kendos' side. The two fight for hours, until both are bruised and sweaty. "Good round Kendo. Seems you've still got some fight in you," Sage teases.

"Ah, is that an old joke? c'mon, now! I'm in the prime of my life! I'm only 27!"

Kendo grinned, getting Sage in a headlock, messing with their hair.

"Now, is that deal from earlier still up?"

"I'm 19, so I would have more spring in my step anyway. But no, I mainly meant because I knocked you flat on your back," Sage laughs, and sweeps Kendo onto the floor. "Race you there, Old Man."

Kendo laughed as he fell over. he got back to his feet, before chasing after Sage.

"Get back here, ya' punk!"

Sage races Kendo, and where he was strong, Sage was fast, and they made it there long before Kendo. He finally arrives, and Sage is standing against the doorway. "Your right was big talk, but seems you couldn't walk the walk," Sage smiles. "Much less run."
