Snippet #967872

If there was one thing Nai had learned in her short life, it was to never expect anything to be exactly as you expected it. Of course, there were times when events such as Xeroux impressing General Yoff still surprised her just a little. Not that Sentrius’ smirk needed any praise either.

Nai herself had said or done nothing. It was a delicate situation and since she had no idea on how the general might react, she stood by and waited. Not that she didn’t agree with Xeroux on being underestimated. It was foolish to judge someone based on a leader or a person that stood out from the rest. Honestly, even though Nai didn’t wasn’t sure on the basis which her teammates were founded on, she knew all of them were strong. Judging other’s power was something Nai was rarely wrong on and it wasn’t because of her carefully cultivated skills of analysis. It was due to Raven’s constant reminder in training.

“Oi, Gareki. Remember to always look at a person’s appearance and listen for their experience in their tone and words. You can always tell who’s been through more by the marks on their hands and the weariness on their face. The tone of their voice will be filled with more wisdom as their battle experience increases and their words will rarely speak for them. But especially look at their eyes. It’s the eyes, Gareki, that can never be trained and thus reveal the true inner strength.”

Reminiscing was something Nai never really liked doing, especially not when a mission was about to start. She quickly rid herself of the memory, reminding herself that such useless memories should be eradicated from her brain somehow, and walked up to Sentrius.

“ Oi, if its any consolation, its good to have a soldier that tries to defend what he believes in to keep order. Its what makes a good knight, not that you aren’t one already,” she said sincerely with a small smile before walking a little ahead of him.

"Hey Oran, don't you think the explosives are a bit much? After all, with our numbers there'll be plenty of gold armor and with the knights' skill, it shouldn't be a problem dealing with the rebels," Nai commented to Oseal as though they were good friends, "After all, we are elite knights aren't we?"
