@maskedoff asked: “ way to be incognito. ” / from enzo.
helicopter touches down, sending dust scattering across the concrete landscape as mara steadies herself behind the pilot's seat. she reaches out to grasp rafi's offered fist, a familiar gesture of affection between them, and a gentle squeeze is given in return. " viaje seguro ( safe journey ), " she tells him through her headset before removing it and passing it over. swiftly, she's off the transport and trekking her way towards the waiting squad. mara hadn't travelled with them, had yet to be acquainted and, certainly from a refined and sharp-edge soldier's perspective, she's fucking late.
then again, not much can be done when aircrafts are involved — especially considering rafi had to avoid certain routes to ensure enemy forces didn't spot them and attempt to shoot them down. nevertheless, her approach is confident on the surface and visibly she appears ready for business. way to be incognito. the remark catches her off-guard, steady gaze flicking in its direction. enzo is immediately recognised, his faced already stored in a neat little file within her brain of those she's met, briefly or for a lengthy period of time.
he is neither. she'd spent time previously with him, during her first year of warcom, when csor had been training urzikstan liberation force fighters. she's two years older, now, and had since overseen countless missions. this one would soon be added to the list. " nice to know there's some familiar faces on my team today, " mara points out, acknowledging him through maintained eye contact, " not as nice to have to see them, " follows, a playful dig but equally a reminder. make me look bad and i'll make you look worse. there's no visible tension in her form as she steps up to consider the rest of them.
" you weóns are gonna be assisting me. i assume you've already been briefed? " arches a brow, searches the small selection for an answer and they nod. " very good. first order of business — forget what you've been told. the mission plan comes from me, and only me. got it? " / meme.
