Armour was part of her every day life, but she's uncertain about heavy armour. At least, the armour she wore was sufficient with protecting her vitals. Sometimes, she wondered why some people's armours were strangely put together. Not that she had ever really questioned them about to be honest.

She felt the presence of the person coming towards her. She turned to greet them as they spoke to her.

"Routines are easy to break, but yes, I do agree," she replied with a brief smile on her face, "I wonder how they will react if we walk right into the middle of it and say hello? Though, that's probably not the best choice. Perhaps, we could disguises ourselves and infiltrate at our leisure. We can gather information while we're at as well. Of course, the priority is to make sure they don't get out with their supplies, right?"

She mused. Yes, she kind of spoke a lot more than she should.

Daisy shook her head as Selen spoke, "if we do this, we could only do it at a distance. I'm seven feet tall already, so we'd do better separated from the rest of the groups. Far enough not to be identified, close enough not to be suspected."

In any case, plans were necessary, and without her fellow Spartans, even she understood the need to plan. She crouched as she identified uniforms and rank.

"Face covered, we loot some of the uniforms and face-covering armor, then move around the supply depots," she hefted her blade, "and we kill them by hunger."

[wings_of_steel]

"Hmm, that is true. You are quite a tall individual. We'd be spotted right away," she replied with a brief laugh. There was nothing against her but Selen found the whole situation slightly humoring.

Selen listened to the other talk about how they could get the uniforms and took that into consideration as she scoped the area.

"Hunger, hmm? I guess the best way to get someone is by their stomach," she chuckled, "Alright, let's get this started."

[daisy023]

Daisy turned to Selen as she chuckled, but turned back to the front, looking at the uniforms...

And a magitek suit of armor she intended to commandeer.

She unsheathed her long sword. "Gladly." Her feet barely made a sound over the grass as she sprinted, melding immediately with the shadows with her back against the building.

The Spartan waved her forward when she heard a guard yawn.

[wings_of_steel]

Selen unsheathed her weapon as well and slowly waited for the other to give her the signal to move. It was a good idea to let one of them go instead of both of them taking the lead.

When the other made it past the guard and hid in the shadows against the building, Selen smugly grinned before following suit at the gesture of the hand.

She didn't meld into the shadows as easily as the other did, but she was quick on her feet, as if she left no trace behind herself. When she got to the edge of the building where the other was, she eyed the yawning guard.

Now, how to get past some of these guys without having their covers blown.

[daisy023]

Selen had a sense of tealth that Daisy envied, and upon arriving, she looked at the same guard that yawned, thinking quickly of how to get through it. What distraction to cause, what deception to use... even taking down sentries in silence might alarm others as soon as companions turn absent.

Daisy quickly compared heights, and then the darkness that covered them during the night, and then at the suit. In a short time, she had a plan.

"I'll give you his suit."

Codeword: She was going to cover the mouth and snap the neck of the guard, drag him to them, give her the uniform, say a false 'it's alright', and go on their merry way to the magitek armor and destroy everything.

Selen watched quietly, seeing if there was anything she could do at the moment, but it didn't seem like there were any openings right then. Of course, her companion being silent didn't worry her because she was aware that sometimes people were lost in thought when they are trying to figure out the best way to approach their current problem.

Selen had years of experience, so it was only natural for her to behave that way but the other was quite fast on her feet as well. Selen actually admired the youths a lot more than she let on. They were always full of energy and did things that the older people could not.

She nodded her head to the girl's words.

"If that is what you want to do. Let me know if there is any way I can back you up," she replied with a smirk n her face. Of course, she could probably understand what the other meant. She would do something to silent the guard so that she could get the suit and there were various ways to silent the guard and many of them involve murdering the guard just in case knocking him out didn't work. Also, having witnesses would make their mission complicated. Say, he woke up and decided to warn his allies.

[daisy023]

Daisy, being a Spartan, developed a sense for ruthlessness.

She waves Selen forward to move silently among the shadows, and too late do they notice another soldier that comes to his companion, apparently to share a cigarette.

A building and grass immediately becomes shadow. Daisy lays prone, then turns to Selen to nod to them as they conversed.

"I won't get to have a uniform," she speaks, "if something goes wrong... you can report I killed one of them."

And then kill them before they realize more.

[wings_of_steel]

Which was something that was definitely needed in the art of warfare. Selen was definitely okay with her being like that. The woman nodded her head as she followed the wave. She was keeping herself as concealed as possible while following the lead of the other.

This time they should be able to get something useful done. She was content to have strong allies to support her and vise versa.

"Hum, alright. If that is what you choose to do," she replied nodding her head, "Certainly. I will follow your lead," she replied, her eyes sharpened at that comment.
