First Feather ✪ [Video]

[sleepingvalkyrie]

[ When the warp band flickers to life, the image is held steady, revealing a rather serious-looking young woman with silvery hair and dark blue eyes. Though her shoulders are bare, the rest of her body is clad in plate mail, with feathers shaped to form wings on either side of her face. A bright blue swablu is perched on her left shoulder, still puffy with the fluff of the recently hatched.

Her lips press into a thin line, before she takes a breath to address her viewers. ]

I am Gwendolyn of the Ragnanival Tribe. I have been sent here to represent them in Union on behalf of the Citadel, and offer our strength in battle if Union would have use of it. It is the least we can offer, after the aid your people gave us.

[she shifts very slightly, looking momentarily uncomfortable] I have also brought a gift on behalf of my tribe, some arms and armor that may be of interest to those among you who are warriors. Our craftsmen are noted for the fine quality of their blades.

I am also told there are other Valkyrie present within the city. I would be grateful if I could be directed to them.

...Thank you for your time.

[with that, there's a polite bow of her head, and the feed ends]

[ Garen hasn't had many chances to speak to Valkyries, but as a Sword of the Savior, it felt like his duty to greet her. From one fighter to the other. ]

I'd rather not have so many pointy objects lying around. It makes not killing more difficult. But thank you for them regardless. A lethal weapon is better than no weapon at all.

So welcome to Union, Gwendolyn. I'm Garen Crownguard, a Sword of the Savior.

Well met, Garen Crownguard.

I have heard of the Swords of the Savior, you and yours would be welcome to select an item from this cache. [A frown forms] Our weapons training ensures we are not so poorly behaved as to leave bare weapons out in the open. Nor would we simply hand one over to the untrained.

[That would be disrespectful to the weapons, for one. And unsafe for any pokemon around.]

[mightydemacian]

Your generosity is appreciated, but I'd prefer not to use a sword. We Swords don't kill, and it's rather difficult to keep a bladed weapon in check. My abilities and my Pokemon partners will simply have to do.

I...see. [Swords..lacking swords? This Gwendolyn will have to see for herself at some point!] Well, we do have some armor as well. When others have claimed gifts of interest, I will instruct my wing to deliver them to the Swords headquarters.

What sort of partners do you have?
