The trip had of course taken time. He new it would..shaking his head as his hands began dancing over the console of his Knight..it had become almost like a ritual over the years, the prepping for combat..for the drop. This time it was combat. But he still wanted to be prepared. Once he was finished with the prep and was sure that the Knight was ready he climbed from the cockpit and made his way down. Minutes later after walking through the plain grey of artificially lit halls he stepped into the small male shift lounge. It wasn't spectacular but it was enough to keep people sane. Slowly moving over to Lyona his stride the age old crisp and drilled gate of a soldier. As he neared her he placed a hand on her shoulder as he sat.."So..we are finally dropping? Feels different..not having someone gunning for you on impact.." he said and then reached over and stole a sip of her drink and then teases her..another 'ritual' that had developed over time..he enjoyed get a rise out of her from time to time.
