He didn't know what to make of Takeda's outburst. True though that these past few days had been exhausting. Rakar gave Takeda a nod in response to his comment on working together and getting to know one another. He had never taught anyone to fight before, and wasn't sure what he would do. Perhaps he would just do what came naturally, though the idea of instructing someone who greatly outranked him made him feel weird.
And what was this? There was a blacksmith in Pegulis who was to forge the General's weapon? That was unheard of... But before he could comment, Amalia stepped outside and addressed them both. Her attempts at sounding strong and intimidating were truly pathetic, but regardless, he silently agreed.
"Afraid not. We've had our rest, and the next shift is about to begin." Coros replied to Takeda as the human went back inside to sleep. He was alone outside of the barracks, with the exception of those passing by on their way to one thing or another. Rakar and Coros took a few moments for themselves, a short reprieve from having to deal with all of this. Then they turned their heads to look at one another, a reflection of themselves in each others eyes. This was something that they did on rare occasion, a kind of ritual between Crux and Aux that they had been doing since birth. A reminder not to forget who they were. They held each others gaze for a short time, then turned their attention to the barracks.
The hulking draken's heavy footsteps were heard again on the other side of the door before it opened, followed by Rakar's own deep booming voice.
"K'Jol, our shift is starting. Chamber nine needs support."
Rakar scanned the room for a moment, glancing at everyone before turning and walking off, leaving the door open. He didn't wait for K'Jol, knowing he could catch up. Dorgrad was in need of help with the hive, and Avarath needed help with the rebellion. What's next, Viridos, invading Zirako?
