[Closed rp for @a-phoenix-must-burn]
It's been quite some time since Eryx had brought Phoenix back from the house he was being held kidnapped; since the young man had recovered to the point he could get back to his own housing within the Shadow Company... since they became somewhat closer; at least physically.
Eryx had kept himself busy with all sorts of things: workout, drilling the new recruits, keeping an eye on new leads towards the group-- the organization that killed mercs and PMCs and he finally had a lead, enough intel that he could finally destroy the remaining members.
He had gotten the okay from his commander, started to plan out everything; he had mapped out their in- and exfil, marked important rooms and worked out different plans for this operation, until he was somewhat satisfied.
The only thing that he never calculated into was the sudden offer of Phoenix joining him on this op. He was almost done with all the planning, when he heard that Phoenix would so some sort of trail run with them. Yeah as if. Sounded more like an cheap excuse to gather more intel on them for this texas bloke. But what surprised him was the eagerness of Phoenix, going to russia with him. The younger man wasn't on the field for some time and Eryx doubted, that he was fit enough already, but he also wasn't able to talk him out of it; so he ended up with him in the cold of great mother russia, their bodys already partially covered with snow, as they waited and remembered the guards moving pattern.
"I've told you to stay with the others. I can hear your teeths loud and clear shuddering.", he said in a quiet tone.
