Characters: Alvin and Kratos
Location: Training Grounds
Rating: G?
Time: January 23rd, during the daily training sessions.
Description: As usual, Alvin is lurking during training. There's only so much one can endure on their own however. It's a good thing Kratos is taking a bit of a break.

Ever since arriving in Death City, rather than seeking out a partner, Alvin preferred to seek knowledge first. It wasn't his curiosity that drove him to such lengths, per se, it was more so out of his instinct to remain informed, to remain on top of things.

Still, this new world and it's war were vast, and time to let the information sink in was necessary. That was why Alvin attended morning training despite never actually taking part. The distant sounds of swords clanging were familiar, and thus almost soothing to Alvin's mercenary heart; it was a nice place for him to sit and arrange his thoughts. Today... wasn't one of those days, however, and Alvin was lucky enough that another man was seated nearby.

"Hey there." A short greeting to grab the man's attention. "Taking a break?"

Familiar words despite being aimed at a complete stranger.

Hopefully action's alright?

[Training this morning had been a bit more intense than usual for Kratos. Tomorrow would be the day of the first mission he'll undertake here in Death City. To be ill prepared for it, no matter how simple it might be, would be foolish and possibly have grave consequences.

That said, overexerting oneself prior to such a thing would also be rather foolish, which is why he's decided to take a break from training. The additional company during said break, however, isn't something he expected.

At the stranger's words, he glances over at him before nodding.]

That's correct.

[Nothing more is said. The other man had initiated the conversation so Kratos assumes he wants something.]
