Katar looked up at him and wiped her eyes.
"Yeah, i heard he is a hero," She said wiping her tears away, "But his eagerness left me alone. Now what od i do? OUr father went military, my brohter went military, and now i am military. Who will mourn me when all i am is a name on the board?"
HE slowly stands up, eyes still watery and sniffs a little.
"I was five wehn the news was given to me, on my birthday. Then i was moved to an orphanage and grew up with pain. NOw all i have is the military and no one in my life. Hell,i don't even have a walker if i were to get married." Katar whipsered.
She suddenly turns and buries her face against Billion's shoulder, crying.

Billon pats the young girls' shoulder, and begins to feel like he is playing the grandfatherly figure.
"We are in the same boat, my girl," he soothes. "My time is soon to go, and the only relatives I do have are my fellow officers. But I'm sure that there's someone special in the army just willing to show you their love towards you."

Katar sniffs again.
"At least your boing to be remembered by your fellow officers. Me? I'm just another Private in the Royal Guard. At least Masa will have Master Oni Lance to remember her. There isn't anyone in my life. They all say i am to strict or cold. None are willing to get to know me. The only one was my brother, but i was a kitten then." She says quietly and stands up striaght. "I'm sorry for carrying on sir. It just hurts to much at times, evem for a soldier like myself."
She wipes her eyes and salutes Billions. She then turns and slowly walks away, her head hanging and tail ddrooping slightly.

"My dear girl," Billon soothed. "Anyone in the army is always remembered, regardless of rank, species or regiment. Even if you are only a private, you will always be remembered for the things that you've done, not for what you were."

Katar stops and looks at teh wall of names. Her eyes fall on her brother's name again and she wipes another tear away. She looks over adn sees Ayla and Damien walking along, like a couple and lowers her head.
"I'll just be a name on a wall, since i was in the service. No one will really remember me." SHe whispered as she watched them walk.
SHe walked over adn sat on the bench. SHe pulled her helmet off and hooked it on the strap on her back. Her red hair falls out, to her lower back, tied together just below her neck. SHe looks up at teh wall again.
"I guess their he lucky ones." SHe whipsers and lowers her head again.

"What are you talking about girl? I recognise your uniform as one of the Special Operatives. If you're not remembered for that, then people will be incredibly stupid. To be a Commando is a privilege, miss, and I would've tore of all of my feathers to be one! Instead, I am only remembered as an Ex-Colonel who'll be going up to the big military depot in the sky very soon!" Billon remarked, getting a little tired of trying to solve the same problem/

"Personally, I think it's morbid," Cryer said as he and Rusk approached to stand with their arms folded behind their backs looking up at the memorial. He ran his fingertips down the closest of the names. "If I were to die, I don't care of what, I certainly wouldn't want my name stuck on some placque like this."

Katar looks up at Billions and smiles slightly.
"IF i was a commando i would be happy with that, but these amrkings are wrong." She said pointing to some markings on her shoulder and upper chest. "The style of armor is the same as the commandos, but these markings are those of Royal guards who assist teh Special operatives. We're not full operatives. You could say operatives in training. COmmander Shar is an operative who is known across teh Aniverse for his skill and talents."
Her head snaps around as Cryer makes his remark.
"What was that?!" She hissed adn stood up. "HOw dare you talk like that about true warriors who have given their lives to save your fur?! Especially when my brother is on that list!"
She takes a step towards Cryer, anger filing her eyes.

Cryer and Rusk turned and looked at Katar, both blinking. Cryer hadn't been speaking to her when he made his remark, and he told her as much. "Oh, spare me," he said, looking disgusted.
"He wasn't talking to you, lady," Rusk said, frowning, "so don't butt into a conversation that's got nothing to do with you."

"EXCUSE ME?!" Billon stood up to the pair now. "I fought alongside every last person who is listed there, and you should also know better than to spit upon the people who gave their lives in that f*****g war!"
He glared at them angrily with fire in his eyes. "If it weren't for them, you two ingrateful wretches wouldn't even be here! What's more, its' rude for an officer and a gentleman to torment a lady. But, judging by the look of you two, you don't fit either of those catergories!"
His fists tighten around his baton, as he tries hard not to cause a scene. "If you had seen what I have, you wouldn't be saying such spiteful things, so don't you dare give me any b*****ks about remembering the past, as I know what war really is, you two cowards just see it as a way to be seen as heroes!"

Rusk's eyes widened and the groundhog instantly backed down. "Hey, pal, there's no law against speakin' our minds, is there?! Or are we just allowed to say things that won't offend people?"
"Don't bother, Rusk," Cryer said, putting a hand on his friend's arm. "He doesn't care. Neither does she. None of them do. Badmouth brave and noble warriors, and suddenly our right to speak freely is forgotten about and these hero-worshipping loonies jump all over you."

Shadu-pup had been nodding in and out of sleep, but with the commotion she was wakened and now quietly listening.
"Rusk? that was not the name he gave Caption O'Hare?" Shadu-pup says in a low growling voice, "Ayla, I think someone needs a lesson in respect but if I try much more then a simple spell I don't think I would be able to do it on my own..."

Katar spat on the ground at their feet and turned to BIllions.
"Forget them. They are the type who cry when they are hurt by war adn want help, but then stab in the back." She said adn gently took Bilions arm. "I wish to hear about my brother dn how he served with you, sir."
SHe gently motioned to the bench and ingnored Rusk and Cryer.
"You said he wa a hero and i wish to hear it from someone who was there." She said calmer.

Ayla looks down at teh pup in her arms.
"SOmething wrong Shadu?" Ayla asks and looks over at the commotion. "Oh, loudmouths shooting off their mouts. Looks like an Atlantean involved as well> DOn't know if she holds a title, so maybe we shouldn't use magic."
SHe looks back at Shadu as she growled.
"SOmthing is bugging you? Should we leave for awhile?" AYla asks as Damien steps nearby.
"What's wrong, half pint?" Damine asks queitly.

Cryer was barely keeping his temper in check now, looking up from the spittle on his boot to Katar furiously. "Hurt by war? Hurt by war?!" he snarled, pointing a finger at Katar and Billons. 'Let me tell you something, missy, I served in Warren's military for three years faithfully, and what did I get? Pain and suffering."
