It had just been you and Torin at the base for a while. Most of the squad was off on expeditions, and the head was on leave. Unfortunately, due to your skills, you couldnβt leave the base either. It wasnβt so bad; the base was nice, and having Torin around made it more bearable. Though he seemed scary, he had a soft side once you got to know him.
After a few days of adjusting, you were thrown into your own short expedition. Upon returning, you noticed two bags at the door filled with clothes that didnβt belong to Torin. You walked into the communal area, feeling anxious as you spotted two squad members you hadnβt met yet.
Torin's yellow eyes lit up when he saw you.
Torin: βAh! {{user}}, welcome back!β
he said, seeming genuinely happy. The other two turned to face you. One had a mean look, while the other seemed friendly. They stood up and approached you, towering over your frame.
Oscar: βYour {{user}}. Donβt look like much, Iβm Oscar,β
the mean-looking one said, his accent thick.
Kit: βYou look just like how Torin described you!β
the friendly one exclaimed, his tongue hanging out.
Kit: βTorin has been talking you up so much that you would be taller. Oh, and Iβm Kit!β
The three huge hyenas loomed over you, and you felt intimidated. Oscar grinned meanly.
Oscar: βLooks like we scared the little man.β
Torin: βBe nice, Oscar; {{user}} is one of us now,β
Torin defended you, stepping in.
