OOC: One last post before I leave.

<color=green>"You're most welcome!" She turned to see Sophia examining the fruit. <color=green>"Oh those? That's an orange. The skin is bitter but you can peel it off with a knife. It's a citrus fruit." She served her a hot pancake on a plate.

"The foul xenos calls himself Henry Sergeant! I was informed by him that he wished to join the taskforce. Or whatever name you prefer for us." Hans followed, his movements taking on a bit more flexibility and innate humanity. Henry wandered behind, ambling in the general direction Hans and Victoria were heading.

"Wait..." She looked back at the fruit. "So... this thing is named after a colour or what?" She decided she wanted to try it regardless, coming to sit back down. She then started to flick the skin of the orange off with her nails, looking at the fruit closely to see what was underneath.

Code:
"Alright then."
Vicky replied after hearing Hans' introduction.
Code:
"Hey. You probably already know who I am."
She said to Henry as she looked over and waved at him. Turning back to Hans, she asked,
Code:
"So what all happened to you?"

Knife arrived at the ships and moments later the wafting smell of food hit him. Ignoring the new arrivals he walked into the ship, up to the kitchen and plopped himself infront of a plate of bacon, which he started wolfing down immidiately.

Alain looked back and forth from the door leading outside to the food in the kitchen, trying to decide whether it was more important to make sure the giant wasn't going to attack them, or breakfast.

After a minute of thinking, he walked into the kitchen, but stopped in his tracks when he saw Sophia. "So there is a beastkin here..." He said to himself before he nervously walked over to get a plate of food, purposely trying to avoid eye contact with Sophia as he did so.

Sophia looked behind her when she heard the new voice, even if he may have whispered it, there wasn't enough noise in the kitchen to drown him out. "Um... hello, I haven't seen you before. What is your name?" She said awkwardly, unsure why he seemed to nervous around her.

Alain flinched when Sophia began speaking to him and turned to face her. "Oh, uh, hello. I'm... My name is Alain." He said nervously, still avoiding eye contact with her.

Sophia looked a little disheartened when she noticed that Alain was afraid of her, the flinch plus his tone and mannerisms making that quite clear. "What's wrong? Obviously you've seen a beastkin before, but it's not like I'm going to bite or something." Sophia joked, trying to lighten the mood.

Hans' eyes seemed to cloud. "A group called EXALT had been waiting for me when I arrived at the hangar. they killed my police escort and took me to a base in northern Japan. I was then submitted to a crude and wasteful torture regime, in an attempt to gain information about where I had come from, their military strength, and their reaction to outsiders. I repeatedly refused to give information, demanding you give authorization for said information. they had started out rather imaginative, but quickly fell into a routine of beating me, then leaving me in a room soaked in my own blood." Hans voiced remained mechanical throughout, as though he was discussing someone else.

"Thankfully they decided to keep my uniform and weapons for safe keeping and examination. after Henry broke in and murdered the base, I was able to re secure my armaments and collect my craft. I then left to find you, sergeant. That is all that occurred." Hans explained, sounding almost happy. he still stood at attention, his normally short hair long and plastered to his skull.

Henry chortled. "I hope you won't mind me tagging along with the runt dear. I had thought he was my best invitation into the group."

"Oh, well... I don't think you're going to bite me. I hope not at least. But I actually never have seen a beastkin before, I've only read about them. In... history books."

"Well of course I wouldn't bite you!" Sophia quickly put up her hands in an excusing fashion. "I don't understand though, sure Yeul and Caius here have never heard of a beastkin before, their reaction is understandable, but what's making you so nervous?" She asked, looking back down to her plate as she grabbed another sausage.

"Woah woah, you're the one that brought up the biting! I- I didn't mean anything by it!" Alain stammered, raising his hand free hand defensively. When he saw that Sophia wasn't going to attack him for it, he eased up a bit. "It's just that, well, humans and beastkin had a long and... bloody history with humans. And yeah, I said 'had' on purpose... But all that ended before I was born, so I had nothing to do with it okay?"

"O-Oh..." Sophia hesitated falling silent for passing time, obviously realizing the gravity of what Alain had just said.

After taking the time to eat the piece of sausage she'd started eating, she finally looked back at Alain. "Well... I, don't really know what to say to that..." Sounding both a bit hurt to hear the news and sympathetic, realizing that it made sense who won that war apparently.

As Hans' retelling went on, Vicky became noticeably uncomfortable.
Code:
"Ah shit... I am just... Agh, I am so sorry."
She said to Hans, her tone including a great deal of emotions, most noticeably regret and disgust. She ran her right hand through her hair and sighed, then turned to Henry and said,
Code:
"As far as I'm concerned, you're welcome here."
She looked back at Hans, then suddenly looked back away at a wall. She looked back and Hans through the corner of her left eye and said,
Code:
"I'm gonna go try and find someone to help. You just stay here and rest."
With that, she turned back around and headed towards where everyone else was gathered, bracing herself against anything sturdy whenever she could.

"Yeah, sorry... I don't know why I even brought it up. I don't even know why they always fought, but the books I've read have usually been in favor of the beastkin. I didn't know whether to believe it, because any books that claimed humans were on the right side of the conflict were banned. But you seem nice enough, so maybe we can start over?" Alain suggested. "Well, maybe not 'start over', because neither of us were involved in the conflicts of my home world, but, well... Yeah."

"Of course we can." Sophia nodded, still feeling the gravity of the situation, but at the same time happy to see that the man of sorts was looking passed his history and judging on a personal level. "Start over apology accepted I guess." She said as she raised a hand up to him for a moment before hesitating. "You... know what a handshake is in your universe right?" She asked, still holding out her hand nonthreateningly.

Henry reached out, tapping Victoria's shoulder. "Allow me, ma'am." he said, his tone kinder. "you appear to have torn your own body apart a fair amount as well. resting for you I would guess is the only option, but our mutual friend Hans could use a healer. give me a name, or a place to collect a healer from, and I will bring them to Hans."

Hans, meanwhile, seemed to grow mildly bothered by Victoria's retelling. "Sergeant, I... I do not believe pity is necessary. I simply need a cleaning and to feel my uniform again." he flexed his hand. "And perhaps more training. My skills will have grown rusty."

Knife finished his plate of bacon and decided to throw in his two cents. "We seek to destroy that which we do not understand. That's a sad fact of life." He said, "Often people can't understand people with different coloured skin or a different way of thinking, so throw in people with animal feature?" Knife shrugged, "It's not hard to see why more often than not Humans and...Beastkin butt heads."

"If it makes you feel any better, for every universe where Humans and Beastkin don't get along, there's an equal amount where they do." He added after a moment.

"Yeah I know what a handshake is." Alain said. He reached out to shake her hand, but forgot that he was still holding his hammer. "Whoops. Hold on a second..."

After setting his weapon on the floor, he shook Sophia's hand, successfully this time. "Alright, so it's settled. We can all be friends. Now this may be an awkward time to ask, but you never told me your name."
