"Blackbird" Emile Reivelt
"Blackbird" Emile Reivelt
Emile pursed his lips; perhaps he hadn't been clear enough. He thought it was an enticing proposal to those who were ambitious, but had no experience when it came to leadership. For all the Marines did in their training, he thought it would arouse at least a few of them to rise to the occasion and the quickness with which the girl volunteered told him that she definitely had the ambition and will to lead. When he made the challenge though, everyone clammed up at the idea and the girl seemed to not realize he was calling her out.
Maybe he was getting too comfortable in this scenario or perhaps because he was intrigued and wanted to find out a bit more about the soft-spoken girl by coaxing her out of the shell he was seeing and into something a bit different. All the attention muddied his thinking a little bit, but a single thought was stirring in all of it. It was the slightest desire of whim, but too tempting for him to not pursue. Than he turned. For a moment, Emile walked over to the red-headed girl and stood a few feet away from her. His expression was bright although he could see none of that in the younger recruit.
"Was my challenge not clear? This is going to be more exciting than just a small-time Pirate who seems to believe he's so clever and has outwitted us. We owe him a humiliation for what he's done, don't we?" he pulled in closer to the smallish girl in a whimsical, but rather impeccable manner. His feet closed the distance between them while the other Marines looked on. A few of the newer recruits gulped, though it wasn't a universal response.
"I have to say though; I'm angry, but at the same time impressed. The 'good captain' has decided to make the gamble and we should call his bet. If I recall correctly, you said you hadn't done enough and wanted to perform as a Marine... Is that right? Well I'm giving you a chance now to do that and more." his eyes hinted at a bit of daring that may or may not have been detectable.
"Senshi Odayakama ... I would like to hear your answer. I'm giving you the opportunity to hunt him down as the leader of the second team. If you succeed, the Marines will attribute his capture to you and I wouldn't care less. In my eyes, you seem quite capable, so lets see you back it up once more." he goaded further, smirking as his fingers reached out to tap her on the chin. Privately, he felt it fitting for this to go through.
Emile's eyes wandered over the deck, judging a few reactions to the proclamation as his words sunk in. A few seemed to give the impression that they thought it was ridiculous or absurd to put a recruit in charge of a small team. One or two of the older ones however realized his ploy and had the same smirk on their face as he did, though it was also somewhat of a grimace.
