[ you're all so suspicious!! WHAT IF HE JUST WANTS TO TREAT YOU TO A MEAL
because he does! he really just takes claude to this foxian guy that knows his way around a kitchen, and if claude's down for it, he, ringo, and this foxian sneak into the camp kitchen and make a bowl of noodles for each of them. ringo seems delighted to make a new friend, and the foxian invites claude to hang out with the two of them more often. his name's wu he, and he's one of the other soldiers in the camp.
it's nice. did you still want to talk to someone else, or are you good? ]
[ RINGO YOU'RE THE BEST Claude loves to eat... He's so happy to fill his belly with these delicious noodles!!
He'll make note of these two, and promise to see them again (which he definitely will), before making his way back to the bonfire. Energized by the meal, he'll head over to Feixiao for a chat. ]
[ she grabs him some booze, and maybe some of it splashes on him because she's so enthusiastic. ]
Hey, what else could we ask for? Good company, good alcohol, shit military rations? Just like home. [ she laughs. ] You're Claude, right? I saw your papers.
[ HELP... This is fine. Wonders if he should tell her about the noodles or if that's a secret between him and Ringo. They are now noodle brothers. ]
The famed general reading my papers? I'm honoured. [ Lifts his mug in a salute before taking a drink. ] I am glad to finally reach my first deployment, however.
I bet. You fresh facers are eager to prove. I was too, my first round. I've got my eye on you four, though, believe you me. I expect big things out of you.
Haha! I like you. [ she says, slapping at his back. ] That's all I need, the best support in the game.
Hey, you know why they call me the Lacking General? [ she doesn't wait for him to answer just barrels forward ] Lacking in worries, lacking in regrets, and lacking in rivals.
[ Wow, he's in the hot seat now. He'll sip his drink, leaning back. ]
Logically? I know I've learned and prepared as much as I can.
Emotionally? [ Well, she asked for honesty. ] There's a bit of doubt I can't chase away about whether I'll be able to rise to occasion when the moment calls for it.
But everything new comes with a little worry, so I think I'm as ready as I can be.
That's how it should be. You can't be brave without a little bit of fear, you know? Otherwise it's just stupidity. Having that awareness is the most important thing for war.
[ she shoves another drink at him. ]
But that's for later! Right now, we drink and be merry. Let's see if you can drink me under the table!
