Action, around Union

[With Spring arriving, Robin has more freedom to go outside. And so it is that he is in one of the ground-level courtyards with all of his Eevees, drilling them. While those who know Robin might know that his Eevees are lazy and rather mischievous while at home, today there is no trace of that at all. They move with military precision, as if they are a small army working together and moving in tight formations with great grace and skill.

However, because they are all Eevee evolutions, it's still the most adorable goddamn thing you've seen in awhile, to be sure]

[Riolu stiffens up and yelps a little, effectively ruining his image. He looks rather disappointed in himself for a moment, but soon recovers to quickly run around trying to round up the Eevees, barking wildly as he goes.]

I see! Well, in that case, you must not lose heart in spite of any difficulties you may face. While discipline will always be key to living a productive life, perseverance to back it up makes it an even greater trait to possess! Wouldn't you agree?

[master_tactician]

Oh, absolutely. Our training is ongoing, but has already borne great fruit.

[The Eevees meanwhile are snickering at Riolu]

[hallacious]

I can see that clear as day! Perhaps I should introduce myself.

[He coughs and suddenly bursts forward with enthusiasm.]

I am Kiyotaka Ishimaru! My motto in life is simplicity and fortitude. Let's all work together and study hard!

[Riolu looks rather dejected. Thankfully, Ishimaru notices and moves over by his side, stroking his head.]

And this is Kuroda, my companion.

[master_tactician]

Robin Chevalier, of the Rangers and more recently aide to the Swords. Well met, Kiyotaka.

[The Eevees stand up and watch Robin intently, making sure he does what he's supposed to.]

And today we have Bolganone, Thoron, Excalibur, Aura, Valaura, Forseti, Fimbulvetr, and Parthia.

[hallacious]

[Ishimaru stiffens up and bows once he hears of Robin's occupation.]

The work you do is vital to protecting Union, in spite of hardships...those who maintain order and law deserve the utmost respect!

[It doesn't really matter that he's just an aide to him; every small bit counts. Maybe he even knows...!

Meanwhile, Riolu tries to approach Aura and Valaura as bravely as he can, seeking to undo his tarnished reputation from moments earlier.]

[master_tactician]

You are too kind. You seem to have the bearing of a Sword yourself, do you intend to join?

[Thankfully for Riolu, Aura and Valaura are among the most mature and sensible of Robin's Eevees. They will allow its approach, watching with keen interest. Excalibur likewise slinks over to join the other two "grown ups" while allowing the "kids" to squabble in the corner.]

[hallacious]

[He...hadn't actually considered that. Huh!]

I cannot say I do at this moment, but I was raised by a dutiful member. Perhaps you have met my father in your work?

[Thank goodness! Riolu is still a little shy, but he'll work past his nervousness. He moves closer to the three Eevees and bows much like his master - it isn't clear whether it's a greeting or an apology.]

[master_tactician]

Quite possibly, I am still acquainting myself with all of the members of the Swords, so I shall have to keep my eye out.

[The Eevees will watch Riolu with interest, but make no move]
