"I'm nobody important."
He replied, his face not showing any real emotion aside from a slight smile.
His voice was a bit gravelly, like he wasn't used to talking, or perhaps shouted a lot when he was younger.
He has no accent.
"Just a visitor."

-
"Now that..." He replied with a slight smirk. "Is not information I freely give out to strangers."
-
"Hm, how disappointing, I was really looking forward to getting to know a fellow soldier."
-
"So that's how you learned to shoot." He noted. "What military do you report from?"
-
"That is information I don't give out freely to strangers. I'm sure you understand, nameless friend." [b]She grinned at him while she said that.[/b]
-
He gave a short laugh. "Touche. Unfortunately my name is classified information that even I barely remember."
-
"And why would that be? From the looks of it, you seem pretty ordinary..."
-
He raised an eyebrow. "Really? Huh. Never thought I'd hear that." He took a sip from his coffee. "Blame ONI. I'm not allowed to share my name."
-
"I'm afraid I don't know who that is. Although I'm sure they wouldn't mind if one person knew..."
-
He shrugged. "You can call me Spartan if you want. Or One."
-
"Well nice to meet you, Spartan, I'm Cornelia Mara." [b]She put out a hand to shake.[/b]
-
He reached up and shook it. His grip was firm and he was obviously holding back a lot of strength. "Pleasure to meet you as well, Cornelia."
-
"Now then, you said you were just a visitor, where from? Or is that classified too?" [b]She obviously wasn't letting the joke die for now.[/b]
-
"I'm from a planet called Reach. I guess you could say I'm visiting. I was sent along with the marines guarding a fire base near the mountains here." He replied. "How about you?"
-
"As you can probably tell from how I talk, I'm originally from Italia. Then, my organization I work for now pulled me here to Tatakai."
-
"And what might that organization be? The assassins?" He joked.
-
"Not quite. We are a part of private military called Viperfish." [b]She held some time of reverence for the name.[/b]
-
"Interesting name." He took another sip fron his coffee. "You'll have to forgive me if I haven't heard of it."
-
"Well I wouldn't expect many people to know us, we usually don't operate above ground."
-
"Interesting. You paramilitary, or contractors?"
-
"Mostly paramilitary, although we like to take jobs here and there if it suites us."
-
"And you have a strong presence here?" The Spartan asked, finishing his coffee.
-
"Strong enough, although I wouldn't expect you to find us often. We blend in well." [b]She also finished her tea, putting down the cup. [/b]
-
"You'd be surprised. ONI is good at finding stuff." He replied, a slight smile on his face.
-
"Then best of luck finding my colleagues. Tatakai isn't small." [b]She smiled back, amused.[/b]
