the general - day zero.

[foxhounds]

THE GENERAL day zero Ivan has told you what you're meant to do in the coming days, and she's also told you that there's an hour before other souls will start washing up on the shores. She has to leave to prepare, but you're all together in the lobby of the mansion. Take it as a chance to meet each other and get to know the people you'll be working with.

[ He's awaiting that moment eagerly... maybe if he sparkles enough, she'll notice? While he isn't all too averse to standing there and being insulted, the hour that they currently have is crucial, and he can be insulted afterwards. ]

Listen, I don't mind that you're standing here and stroking my ego, really, but from the nature of what you're saying... Is it safe to assume that you've never killed someone before?

[unrulyprincess]

[Perhaps...... though she frowns at that.]

That is not true...! I am a soldier, sir, do not assume I am useless!

[...]

I simply do not take perverse pleasure in the act.

[gravesite]

A soldier? [ That accounts for experience on the battlefield, right? ] Then, you should be familiar with how this works!

When you say it like that... [ He frowns. ] Even if it's not pleasant, if you have to do it, you should make the best out of it. That's what I think.

[unrulyprincess]

We fought to protect people, not for some crude...hunt!

[A huff, but...slowly she simmers down.]

Regardless, we are stuck with it now... I suppose I may have misunderstood you.

[That's as close to an apology as she's going to get.]

[gravesite]

[ As he sees her calm down, so does he, letting out a slow exhale. ]

Don't worry, I don't really blame you for doing so! Life leaves us in surprising situations, like this one — and yet, we still have to put our best foot forward. Stuff like that!

[ He's not used to people apologizing for what they do to him; so, he'll take what he can get. ]

At the very least, we're an exciting group of people, don't you agree? I look forward to working with you, miss.

[unrulyprincess]

Is that so... I look forward to--

[... WAIT.]

N-no, nonsense, simply because I must work with you does not mean I shall be entirely friendly with you, be aware!
