Genzui is back in his room, awhile later, with Sword. She was apparently nominated to 'fill him in' on everyone on this 'base'.
Gen: "So...you named me Soldier and you, the expressive one; your name is Sword."
Sword: "Yup! You finally remember my name without me telling you!"
Gen: "So you're...good with swordsmanship...even though you're...a woman."
Sword: "Hmph! Never be stereotypical in this world you just got yourself wrapped into. You might loose your head for it!"
He still can't exactly tell if she's kidding or not and that scares him.
Sword: "Okay, keep going."
Gen: "The always irritated one and the second oldest is Wolf....why?"
Sword: "Well, honestly, ALL of us can take the name 'Wolf', but she has herself a 'special case', heh."
Gen: "Special...case?"
Sword: "Go on, go on!"
But...you didn't really tell me why she's named 'Wolf'! What do you mean you guys could all be named 'Wolf' for?!
Sword: "...Hello~?"
Gen: "Um...uh, yeah...the quiet one from earlier was named Snowy, I heard that one. She's also the youngest."
Sword: "Yeah, she's snow-prone."
Gen: "What does that mean?"
Sword: "Keep on going, Soldier, boy."
Gen: "Uh...the...what was it...fourth...? Oldest? Second youngest? The rough voiced one...who thinks I'm a hostage...her name is...Claw...?"
Sword: "And she's apparently the one your most unsure about, huh?"
Gen: "You knew that from my voice, didn't you."
Sword: "Typical. Typical. You're observant and a human-wise survival pro on the battlefield and in tight life or death situations, aren't you?"
Gen: "You-!"
Sword: "You even got that idea that we were foreign. From me speaking Colegion to her otherworldly knock-out bomb. Take it that your a doc, yourself, with a slight suspicion against foreigners?"
Gen: "Sword!"
Sword: "Oh, right, yeah, last one."
...that little. How did she...?!
Gen: "...Lastly, the third oldest and modest one is Flower."
Sword: "Flower power, black-out baby."
Gen: "...And you keep on saying she's the one who knocked me out."
Sword: "Another little useful tidbit, Flower's like the doc, here. She has a way with medicine and the sorts."
Like...fast-acting, gas-bomb sedatives? That smell like...well, that could explain her name, 'Flower'. Maybe she works with floral remedies and such. But...didn't they say she...emitted that stuff last night?
Sword: "Is your space case-iness a thing, or are you just escape-planning again?"
Gen: "...?!"
Again...?! She could tell from last time?! But...how, she can't even see my eyes. Genzui had always grasped that a man (well, typically anyone for that matter) showed their thought process and/or true intentions to something by the looks of their eyes. His eyes are practically gone, now.
