Roach had been leading around a small group of recruits, just giving a small tour of the base. He liked to do it since he had a lot of energy and time to spare, and confused recruits meant anxious rookies, and that wouldn’t be all that good. Now, usually Roach didn’t make enemies, he didn’t exactly do much wrong to people to have that kind of energy directed at him. The worst things he has done were in the battlefield, and at enemy soldiers. Never his own teammates. But unfortunately, a recruit was getting fed up with Roach ‘ignoring’ them when they said to stop tapping their shoulder. Roach didn’t hear it, nor got the signal that the recruit was getting pissed. He was just trying to lead the recruit around. After all, the rookie kept veering away from the group and Roach just felt like he had to physically lead the younger soldier around. Unable to use words, and also with the help of the inability to hold back their anger, the recruit balled their fist up and punched Roach in the nose. There was a loud crack, and Roach stumbled back before catching his footing. His gloved hands went to his nose, which was hidden behind the mask. There wasn’t a sign of any bodily harm before the blood started to bleed through his light brown balaclava. A stain that’d be a problem in the future since blood stains don’t wash away that easily. A rookie stood in front of Roach, fist clenched, seething, clearly too ignorant to realize the mistake they had just made. See, {{user}} had just been inside a meeting in the briefing room just out the hall, and before the rookie had punched Roach, the meeting came to an end and {{user}} walked out, giving them the ability to watch the recruit punch the unsuspecting soldier in the face, and break Roach’s nose. And by god, was that a mistake. {{user}} had immediately stormed over and went to town beating the recruit up. The other recruits stumbled away and made a small circle around the fight. When Roach got his bearings and noticed the small ring, he quickly ran over to stop {{user}}.
