[Listening intently, as she works her way through a cigarette.
Then, when you're done:]
Oh, I heard about those guys. Hawke had a lot of unkind words about them, as did Riley.

[ A soft smile. That of a child who knows his father approves. Brig shakes his head slightly and looks back into the house. ]
Pretty sure the Senator has it all handled, but you think she'd appreciate the help? [ Tries to focus his hearing to the sounds inside ] Or do you think she's about done?

[ Brig remembers them all very clearly. Like it were yesterday. He pushes his edginess into the back of his mind. ]
I disliked the Nazi thinking back then, Ma'a; I still do. But I felt the Nazi vampire division were degenerates worse than the rest. On par with the Nazi's Slashers. [ A pause ] Will we be meeting any vampires of the sort on this trip?

No, I don't think so! We got rid of most of those types during the Darkest Vigil.
[And good riddance to them, no doubt.]

[She's lounging around just outside of the gates of Colina de las Espadas, leaning against the jeep that she's going to take into town. It's pretty early in the morning, but that was part of the plan. She wants to get as much done as possible.
Brigade should be around any minute now. It'll just be the two of them today, and yes, she's wearing the current standard issue of Taskforce Valkyrie on purpose.]

[And once the two of them finally finish up, Kaien's stretching, moving off to the edge of the rooftop that they had commandeered for their Transmutations, and letting out a satisfied noise.]
I think we're good for tonight. How about we cool down with some beer?
[Saying that with a grin in your direction, Brigade.]

That's good to know, Ma'am. [ It really is for Brig ] But if you're bringing Hawke and I as muscle, Ma'am, I take these ones we're visiting are still the type to cause some trouble?
They'll TRY, for sure. Most of them will be much like adult children.
[Rolls eyes.]
Seeing me and the two of you should be enough to cow those ones.

[He waits, of course, for Joshua LaRue to be fully asleep before he settles in with that one curled up against him and lights up a cigarette. Then he leans his head against the headboard, takes a good, long drag, and reaches out across the telepathic link that ties him to one particular Warden in the area.]
Sorry, Brigade. I don't think I can make it for drinks tonight.

[ This one's still in the mess hall when all the rest have left, playing around with newly downloaded games on Liana's Vita which Brother Badd left in his care.
He hears Hikaru's voice in his head and sets the gadget down on the table. ]
Are you okay, brother?
[ Some people might find it hard to comprehend having 56 other voices in one's head. Brig, however, has acclimated to it well. It's comforting to always have people (particularly this one) with him after decades of loneliness. ]

I'm... I'll be fine.
[Which pretty much translates to "no, I'm not okay, but I am working on it."]
Josh wanted me to stay with him, so.

[ Only time really. But at least they have each other. ]
Go, stay with him. It's good for both of you.
[ Brig pops open one of the Hibiki Whisky bottles he'd prepared for when Hikaru was supposed to arrive and pours himself a glass ]
I'm just an ear for if you want to sound board, Brother. Or we can talk about other things. [ He hadn't yet asked him about how he was with the Yaksha Blades ]

[ Brig nods ]
I'm on board, Ma'am, and hopefully things go smoothly. [ A pause, then he adds ] I'm actually curious to see more of the Kindred community because of some reading I did on them in the Arcanum.

Maybe until I try to get some sleep.
[Operative word: 'try'.]
Still a bit too awake right now, even if I'm tired.

And books rarely ever compare to the reality. I just hope that your stomach can take it.
[Yeah, she's saying that even if she knows you're a soldier. Vampires are interesting creatures.]
