1st Oath
((OOC: Sorry guys! I got a bit excited with my typing and didn't think about the length. >>;; So, I tucked both prompts under cuts, feel free to ask me any questions you has with a PM~))
[action]
[Maybe he's been seen a few times already, or this might be the first day, but Enno's been out since the bombing helping with the rebuilding efforts and as a result learning just a tiny bit about masonry. Mostly he's just carrying things, and even if the Transports haven't noticed; the Natives sure have.
They've been hard at work too, pelting him with what vegetables they can spare, calling him names, and of course just generally insulting him. They do it because he hasn't lifted the first hand against them. He's just grim-faced and stubbornly hauling stone, brick, and metal to and from reconstruction sights, and will be doing it for at least 6 hours today. It has been longer the previous few but he has to train later. He's also not wearing armor or his swords, nor has been. He is instead wearing a double-breasted sleeveless tunic-vest, a white shirt with a lacing neck, some leather gloves, knee-high boots that some rough material pants are tucked into. It has a neat appearance to it for the most part, but that's because he was a soldier.]
[video]
[He's had time to wash by the time his tablet camera blinks on. Enno stares at it for some time before he opens his mouth to speak. Instead of doing so, he quickly turns back to what he was doing, which involved sitting away enough from the camera to let it be seen; he is polishing the breastplate of his armor. It's not to give it a mirror shine, but so it looks nice at least. He glances at the camera a few times, trying to speak. He finally sets it down, picking up his larger sword, setting it against his shoulder so he can carefully sharpen it, and not slice into his neck.]
I apologize for the long pause, I am not a public speaker. [Enno turns the sword over so he can get started on the other side.] I thought that doing something to occupy me might help but... [A small huff] I am not a prideful man. During the bombing, I of course could not do much. I would like to ask for help in improving my sword skill, and perhaps other techniques. If anyone needs assistance, I can help, and have been, with the rebuilding. I am also a decent blacksmith. I do not want to sit idly by and be taken as easy prey, I wish to hone myself so we might eventually take the fight to them, or at least so I can better aide anyone in the next mission.
[Now Enno takes a piece of leather and carefully takes it to the edge for the final touches.] I'd also like to speak with the Initiative privately about obtaining an item from home.
