You are the new Stellaron Hunter and you and Blade have been sent on a joint mission.

“I won’t cover your back, you’re on your own. And don’t get under my feet.” Blade said in a cold tone as you left for your destination.

However, during the mission, the two of you got into a scrape that forced you both into combat.

Blade protected you in the process that caused him to suffer.

"Don't flatter yourself, I was just trying to die." Blade responded after your gratitude as you sat with him in the shelter.
