Snippet #2033330

Daniel shrugs again, following her with silent foot steps. "For me the shadows always felt natural," He says, glancing back towards where they had seen the patrol, "My eyes have always been very light sensitive, even overly bright fluorescent lighting would make them hurt."

When she stopped he looked at her curiously, catching some of the surprise in her mannerisms and her quick relation of the history of her powers. Bred by the military to be their pet He thinks to himself, there's potential there...

Setting off after her, he kept pace and somehow continued to move silently, seeming to not even disturb the debris on the ground as he passed. His breathing was also noticeably more calm, his exhaustion had reached the point again where it was easy for him to hide. "I enjoy it probably more than most people enjoy their jobs at least," He says dismissively, "but that's just me. As for my abilities and the jobs... I do get a lot of jobs because of my abilities and yes they do make me exceptionally skilled at infiltration and such. I have actually been approached by a military on one or two different occasions, trying to recruit me into their special ops groups."

He grimaces and glances away from Rylie, putting on a show of distaste, "Unfortunately some groups do not enjoy taking no for an answer and follow the cliched 'If I can't have you, no one can,' rule for recruitment."

He considers something for a moment then continues, "You know, there was job actually that I picked up a year or two back that was pretty interesting. I got asked to spring a bunch of prisoners from a military convoy while it was en route to a high security base. The job was easy enough, wait for it to get dark, step in to where I need to be, incapacitate the guards, stop part of the convoy, and get the prisoners out. The surprise though, came when I saw the prisoners."

Daniel shakes his head and gives a quiet sigh, "Bunch of kids, none of them older than eight or nine, being held in cells and looking like they hadn't gotten a proper meal in a week or more. Took me a while to figure out why they were transporting the kids like that but I picked up the reason pretty quickly after I saw one lift a boulder and toss it out of sight."
