Unaware the courier had other expectations when dealing with guild assortments (though, he wouldn’t be surprised if the youth meandered down into exploring the armory – another thing on the General’s long list of necessities), he accepted the agreement for what it was – nodding in turn on the acceptance.

Watching the flies once more, the Sword didn’t expect the sudden, forthright honesty – his shock on display with his widened eyes and swift movements, the speculation and confusion imminent. It took him even longer to register the vague compliment – mostly because after years upon years of diminished self-worth, and striving to ensure he did deserve things, it was still difficult to establish in his mind. Momentarily stunned, he let the comment parse away, not like a piercing thing, but a sentiment to be understood, remembered. “Thank you,” with a vague smile curling in the corners of his mouth. “We will try to do our best.” And he’d continue to uphold those semblances for as long as he could; amidst everyone else.
Tilting his head, at those thoughts, at those notions, he reflected the insight back the courier’s way. “What else do you want to see for Halo?” Movements, advancements, assistance from the deities…because while he and Noah might have had their own ideals, they likely weren’t the same as other citizens.
