Kage walked towards the armory, letter in hand. Natalie had just given him the news. “We’ve been shitcanned.†She had said. Those had been the words she had used. It had been a surreal experience. She had called him over the tribe linkshell, saying that they had to talk. He had known it had to have something to do with her talk with Taeros. So they had decided to meet at the airship bar and he had waited until a female Miqo’te in a Brass Blades uniform had walked to him.
Was he going to be arrested? For the core?
The familiar voice and her simple words had shocked him.
The conversation was fresh in his mind as well as the warning. At least, he was pretty sure it was a warning.
With the letter in hand, Kage smiled as he passed it over in exchange for the Brass Blades uniform. The masked Lalafell looked at what was written before leaving Kage standing there. When the Lalafell returned he handed a bundle with the letter atop of it to Kage with a smirk splayed across his lips.
“Apologies, ser.†Kage could hear the sarcasm and mocking tone. “Unfortunately we’re out of the Vermillion Sollerets for your size and stature. You’ll have to make do with these dyed Templar Sollerets.â€
Kage blinked as the other Blades snickered. He glanced at the other Lalafell Blades with a small raised eyebrow. Their smirks told him all he needed to know. He put a smile on his lips and nodded, “Aye, of course. Thank you.â€
“No, thank you, ser. Welcome to the Brass Blades. We’re happy to have you.â€
“Aye, I as well.â€
Kage took the bundle, heading to the tribe house quickly. He clenched the letter as he grit his teeth before letting out a breath.
He would do what was his duty and what was expected. There was no choice it seemed. He donned the uniform, the white kneepads of the sollerets a glaring reminder of what was in store for him. He put his turban on and left, starting patrol.
