@alwaysmarine .
they were being treated like a child , & it irritated them . spending so many years with the blade , only to be me GROUNDED during times of war ? pathetic . kaiera had not expected such a request ( such a BETRAYAL ) from kolivan’s part , but , they were an underling , & would obey his orders regardless of how they themselves were dissatisfied . so , for the time being , kaiera was to be this … earth lieutenant’s right hand .
currently , they leaned against the wall of milo’s office space , peering out the window at the garrison below , longing to return to the stars. arms are crossed over chest , as black eyes surveille a training drill , watching the cadets running in perfect lines . sighing , kaiera pushes off the wall , marching to sit at the edge of the marine’s desk , grabbing papers, studying them. lithe fingers brushed black hair behind their pointed ear, as an almost permanently furrowed brow attempts to decipher the writing . ❝ how much longer are we going to be stuck in here ? ❞
Milo spares him a sympathetic eye. There’s nothing he hates more than being stuck inside doing PAPERWORK, so he gets it. The antsy feeling, the need to GET OUT. Currently, he’s studying damage reports. It’s his job right now to needle through what gets through to Commander Shirogane. “ I’m sorry I don’t have more to delegate to you. Unfortunately ... this portion of the job is ... lackluster. Boring. “ He smiles, despite the despondency with which he’s greeted.
“ Would it help perhaps if I promised ADVENTURE later? “ He’s bemused by the prospect of it -- They could get off base for a while, maybe that would help work out some of the frustrated energy. ( Milo wants to get down to the ocean soon. He misses the waves and three years beneath the Galra’s thumb has deprived him of his usual visits. ) “ We could go down to the ocean. “ -- Kolivan had asked him, politely, in his reserved way to keep an eye out for him. TAKE CARE OF HIM. ( “ You’re the one who looked after Keith, then. I would request you extend Kaiera the same courtesy. Patience. “ ) Milo is all too willing. He wants to HELP, even if he doesn’t really know what it is he’s HELPING.
