Dargo - Shaky Introductions

Quietly he leans against the back wall of the modest courtyard. One by one his supposed comrades file in after him, new equipment in hand. Maybe five of them looked like they might actually know which end of their newly issued weapons to use. Least, that's his reckoning on first appearances. Often enough first appearances can be wrong but Dargo figures he got them pegged right this time.
By the time someone makes their way to the courtyard to bring order to the young recruits Dargo's already made himself pretty comfortable. His back slumped lightly against the wall, one foot propped on it to evenly distribute his weight, his arms crossed with a short curved blade in his hand delicately picking out the imaginary remnants of whatever he might have eaten for breakfast from his intentionally flashed fang-like canines. An intimidating visage of comfort to anyone not schooled in the arts of reading people. To the average person Dargo looked every bit the thug, resting carefully before preparing to strike. A truly observant individual might see through his ruse, though. In truth, Dargo just thought it was funny to watch people get intimidated.
Sergeant Bremen did not seem to share his sense of humor. A couple of the recruits couldn't help but stare at Dargo as if they were watching a dragon getting ready to devour them. As Bremen went down the line and noticed this he paused and let his attention hold on Dargo until it was met.
"Dargo," he replied very flatly while sheathing his kukri and standing up straight with no visible expression on his face. "Just Dargo. I can track."
Dargo tapped his nose gently twice before letting his hands fall to his sides. Back straight, arms at his sides, hands lingering just inches below the grip of his blades, legs parted neatly to shoulder width. A perfect 'attenshun' by military standards. More perfect than his own tribes training even. Humans tend to put an overemphasis on form and appearance as Dargo recalled. Of course, he did manage to keep his perfectly apathetic emotionless face through it all. No need to make anyone else comfortable. Least not before getting to know them.
