>>6262829>>6262883>>6263075You... <span class="mu-i">Are getting a bit too hot-headed given your company.</span>
You sigh, averting your brief glance at the sabers as you reconsider a less abrupt means of refuting the silver-haired young man.
"You think there's honour to be earned during training?" You try to ask, His raised brow furling as he...
Smirks "Far more than anything. We're Redcoats, the best of the best amongst ZAFT trainees. We carry the pride of the militia upon our chest and shoulders." The freckled girl blinked as she seemed even more out-of-her-element.
<span class="mu-i">And you had to hold your chance to groan, because you've already gone through a similar kind of cliques during Basic Training.</span>
Unfortunately, there's a big difference to just contending that statement than just temporary labelling.
<span class="mu-s">In the structure of ZAFT, he's <span class="mu-i">completely right.</span></span>
While the Alliance forces, with decades of independent and co-operative instruction was far more of a structured and rigid military than ZAFT's beginnings as a security and volunteer force.
And that amounted to their officers and ace cadets holding hierarchical and structural responsibilities to their ranks.
<span class="mu-s">Which is why, you think this nepotistic position these children of members of the ZAFT council, despite their proficient records ammounted to.</span>
To that point, you had to agree on disagreeing, as much as...-
"You both done?" Rusty quickly interjected as you thought of something "We're deciding between some of the records my dad's agency's got and-." Rusty flipped as he shown three covers.
And... Unexpectedly, the raven-haired girl lept across from you and in front of them.
"Is-... <span class="mu-s">Is that a Lacus Clyne concert?!</span>" The girl's sudden change into exhilarated glee at the jewel-cased cover, something that Rusty smirked at as he separated it from the other two.
"Not just that! Special interviews and uncut promotional footage." Rusty seemed to stoke her enthusiasm, as they direct them to discuss with the group over that fact.
And left you with Joule, as he gave you one last glancing look of disdain "<span class="mu-i">I don't know what your issue is, but know your place, Black-band.</span>"
You take that to mind as you rejoined the group, then discussing the selection with the now completely invested girl in the group.
"Moon brought her along, but are we really using our off-day to-?" Yzak asked sounding ticked off by it.
For his part, Dearka just shrugged as he got comfortable "I've been listening to some of the songs here and there during maintenance work, might as well see the whole album in full." Yzak frowned and rolled his eyes but nevertheless relented as Amalfi was thrown the case, setting it up for a retractable projector screen.
And... Leading to a strange, teasing comment from Rusty as it started up, Athrun bringing a sizeable platter of snacks and refreshments.
"<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">How'd you feel looking at your Fiancee on her big-stage element, Athrun?</span></span>"
