VOLUNTEER ARMY CAPTAIN'S PAGE_

A bowl of melon-flavoured shaved ice would be super nice right now…

{♠} Upon coming face to face with her, the captain lifted a hand up to offer her a welcoming handshake. "Nice to meet you then, Tora," he spoke with a coy smile upon hearing her compliment. "Ahah. You really did hide yourself pretty well back there to the point where we were so sure that we'd be the only people here. Oh-- A-And sorry if our place might not look any warmer than what you may have, but please make yourself at home here." Then with his other hand, he gestured her to come closer to where their main camp was so that they may speak more. "So, what exactly were you doing out here at this time? Did you just finish your work when you rested close to us?" Altair came to ask as he took his place close to the camp fire and rubbed his hands together to add warmth to them. "By the way, do you live with anyone else? Like family or friends. I'm sure they must be worried about you by now."

—; After a moment’s hesitation, Faceless slowly gave a single nod of the head to signify that he was on board with the idea. Since arrows were somewhat his area of expertise though, he felt it only appropriate to take the initiative this time. Grabbing hold of one of the captain’s sleeves, he lightly tugged on it a few times before pointing to a nearby shop.

{♠} He found it pleasantly surprising to see Faceless' hesitation fade as he initiated the search for materials. He allowed himself to be lead by his comrade to the closest shop in sight that he couldn't help but smile to himself. 'Usually he's really shy towards me and the group, but seeing him like this isn't so bad of a change,' he pondered and began examining the goods the store had to offer. He saw different things that were commonly used in households and even feathers that would normally be used for pillow stuffing but appeared to be a good material for the arrow tails. And upon approaching a neatly placed pile of wood he turned towards Faceless and wondered if there was anything he could do to help make collecting the goods easier and faster. "So.. What exactly should we be looking for in the wood? Like, do you use any particular ones or as long as they're sturdy, they're good?"

—; When it turned out there was no weapons shop though, of course he was disappointed, but more importantly he didn’t want to trouble the captain any further. Raising his hands upwards, he shook his head from side to side to let his leader know that it was okay and they didn’t have to look any further for his ammunition; he’d just have to try harder to locate and pick up his arrows after battle.

{♠} Although the young pierrot was unable to express his thoughts into words, the Captain was keen enough to catch what he was trying to say and let out a small chuckle while prompting the other to cease his action. "It's alright, don't worry about it," he assured him. "I think I have an idea now since we're not able to buy the actual arrows." He then paused for a brief moment to allow Faceless to process where this conversation was leading before continuing. "We'll make them ourselves! How does that sound? I mean, I don't have any idea how to make them since I've mostly been trained in swordsmanship but I'm sure you can teach me that once we buy the materials here."

—; In all honesty, he felt a bit guilty about asking for such a thing considering their funds were running low, but he’d feel even more guilty should his lack of arrows end up getting a comrade wounded.

{♠} "Mhm?" The Volunteer Army's leader slightly shifted his attention towards the back to see where his silent companion pointed and immediately understood what he meant. "Ahh, I see.." he commented. "We really have been facing more and more dangerous situations the closer we get to our destination after all. So, it's only a matter of time when you run out of it." As none of them have ever really visited this town before, they were quite unsure of where to find a weapon shop. He began asking any approachable-looking food stall owner (for their current location was in the market place) on where they could find one but was strangely getting the same answer: No. "That's.. kind of not surprising, I suppose," he sighed with a lopsided smile across his features after their rather fruitless search. "This place does look like one of those rare peaceful villages. No one here seems to be carrying any weapon of sorts. And the most weapon-like thing they own are things that are only used to fend of wild animals.. What do you suggest we could do, Faceless?"

{♠} The leader examined the surprise visitor from head to toe for security purposes rather than judgmental ones before raising an arm up to his comrades, signaling them to lay down their weapons. "I see," he acknowledged her response then slowly progressed towards her. "Oi, oi Captain! This could be a tra--" The young soldier who came to his aid earlier exclaimed, taking an almost hesitant step forward. He had already put down the dagger he held earlier due to orders but was more than willing to face whatever perilous situation barehanded if it meant saving the man in front of him. "It's alright, Kain," another companion of theirs spoke. She had a lovely shade of purple hair that was neatly braided to the side and had the most welcoming smile upon her face. She had placed a gentle hand upon Kain's shoulder to cease whatever action she had in mind and came to stand beside the leader afterwards. "You said your name was Tora, right? Mine's Phoena and this is our captain, Altair. While the boy behind us is Kain. Are you from around here?"
