[ The feed seems to be, quite unfortunately, firmly fixated on what looks to be a rather worn and dog-eared lapel and maybe a bit of a chin. He still hasn't quite mastered the fine art of proper SC use. ]

Should anyone come across two siblings among the new arrivals, I ask that you inform me immediately. One of these brothers possesses height greater than most; the other, a unique orneriness.

I thank you for your time.

[ Wait... oh, that's right. Ahem. ]

Might I also add: should any unpartnered Meisters have need of a firearm-based Weapon, do not hesitate to contact me. I would join in this effort however I can.

[ look at that image focus, jouncing all over the place while he gets it upright. not that he's in much of a hurry to do so.

say hello to a rather somber face. ]

I see no point in delaying a point for frivolity. Is this better?

[Much better, yes. It helps that Magoichi prefers a somber face to a foolishly grinning and overly happy one.]

Frivolity? Perhaps that is how it's considered in your home land. To someone from where I've come from, it's a show of respect.

Noted. I will endeavor not to offend.

What is the name of your homeland?

[There's a small and nigh-imperceptible nod to acknowledge his apology. She appreciates the respect he is showing now.]

I am from Hi-no-Moto.

[ It takes only a few seconds to process before he's shaking his head in either negation or perhaps even apology. ]

I have not heard of it myself. Apologies.

Your name?

[She's not surprised -- many have either not heard of where she's from (even if they would likely recognize it by a more modern name) or of her group of mercenaries.]

Magoichi, leader of the renowned Saika faction. We were among the first in our land to introduce western firearms to the field of battle.

[ The lands and empires of men have changed so often since they'd risen that he's all but lost most of their contemporary names along the way, and some of the older ones as well. ]

A pioneer of your time. I am honoured.

[ it's always refreshing to see these cogs of history, like a reminder of what is. he inclines his head just so, acknowledgment. ]

I am Castiel. I am... merely a soldier.

[Honor and honesty: two things which Magoichi highly values. Castiel is thus actually getting on her good side, which is a feat most fail to accomplish.]

Leaders and soldiers cannot properly exist in the absence of the other. Such is the way of life.

[ he can respect a military mind; a soldier. none of them are really so different, he's begun to find. ]

True victory may only be achieved with a joining of the two. A leader who does not understand the soldiers beneath him cripples his own campaign.

And a soldier who does not follow orders will find himself a burden at best, or a corpse at the worst.
