[QUOTE="'Ghost', post: 6074330, member: 6699140"] Ghost nods and takes his leave. Whilst walking through the corridors heading for the armoury Sarah pipes up [B][I] You really never stop working do you Ghost, when was the last time you took some time off? Enjoyed yourself a little? I'm sure it'd do you the world of good, I mean I've only experienced this freedom for a short while and I've never been happier, well....I have on a couple of occasions. Like before, you know....[/I][/B] A quick glare from Ghost causes her to stop mid-sentence, but the glare subsides and his face returns to its expressionless form. [B]I'll rest and take some time off once my duty is done, this isn't the time yet.[/B] [B][I] Then why not take some of the time you have now and use it to make your duty easier? Talk to your squad, get to know them a little, if you get along surely it'll be easier to command them.[/I][/B] [B] I don't need them to like me Sarah, and too much familiarity can cause problems itself. If I grow attached to someone then it make's it harder to make the right call if the time comes. How can I abandon someone I care for? It's not a glorious thing war, enemies use every weapon at their disposal to weaken their opponents. Such bonds provide ample means to do so.[/B] His head drops a little..... [B]Sometimes I wish I had never become a soldier. I was too young to start this bloody path. I've waded through seas of carnage, and come out the other end. Praised for my efforts, praised because I killed so many, praised because I was a good soldier. There is nothing worth praising about what I do. I'm a killer, a murderer pure and simple. The army just pretties it up to make it look like you're a hero.[/B] His voice taking on a angry edge... [B]I hate war. [/B] His fist clenched, he punches the nearest wall, this startles Sarah a little but not for long, whilst his fist is still firmly planted against the wall... [B][I] So do I Ghost, but I don't regret joining this conflict. I don't regret any of it. Do you want to know why?[/I][/B] Ghost looks at Sarah with a sidelong glance. [B][I] Because of the people I've met, the comrades I've made. During times of conflict there's only one place I ever want to find myself, and that's by your side as your partner.[/I][/B] A smile on her face, not the cheerful grins of before but a warming smile. Ghost catches himself smiling slightly too... [B] I'll never be able to express how thankful I am that your here too Sarah.[/B] The smile quickly hidden shortly after it emerged, the two walked on silently for a time, no words needing to be said, heading off to the armoury in preparation for the debrief.
