Video: Achtom 6th - Early Morning

[flawed_immortality]

[Cor was not intending, initially, to do this as a video. Such requests would certainly go better if someone has a face to go with the voice, can see the type of person they'd be working with. He's as stern as ever, even if there are subtle indicators that he's been exerting himself recently. The ever-present jacket discarded for once, sweat clinging to his face, breathing slightly elevated.]

I know I am not alone in being unused to such... quiet. I suspect many of you are from worlds where such unquestionable peace is not the norm. I am a soldier, as I have ever been, and there is familiarity in the discipline of body and mind.

[A noise off screen, an animal perhaps? Something dying? A lazy king snoring? The deepening scowl on Cor's face makes it apparent that whatever it is Cor isn't happy about it.]

If anyone would like to join me in the mornings for training routines perhaps we can teach one another of the fighting styles of different worlds.

[Again a noise, this time more like a chainsaw or motor boat than an animal and Cor takes a moment to wipe sweat from his brow, heave a sigh and his expression turns a touch apologetic.]

Also if anyone has access to a chess board or mahjong table they'd be willing to share I would greatly appreciate it.

Perhaps then, that is why we are here.

[Regis shifts so he can catch that defeated gaze with his own.]

They say we are here to help their gods grow in strength again; I say we are here to take the time we would not have otherwise, to do the things we would not dare to back home.

[Regis dips his head to meet his gaze, words gentle but insistent. An offer of time and opportunities and for a moment something small and scared and so desperately hopeful flickers in those ice blue eyes.

With a blink it's gone, blank and neutral and cautious again.]

I'll take it into consideration.

[It's as close to agreement as Regis is going to get and it's followed by a light nudge to his King's shoulder.]

If you get off of me so we can both finish our breakfasts.

[Regis rolls his eyes when Cor answers with the most Cor-like answer he can think of. After a moment of thought, he decides to take what he can get and moves back to settle in next to his friend, mug of coffee pulled from the Armiger not long after.]

I will hold you to that.
