…a human, you had to do a double take.
With the lapel of a sous-lieutenant on his uniform, he sees you and instantly tackles you to the ground. You get ready to grab the sabre they handed you—
A grenade explodes right above you two.
“Gah— Messieur! What are you thinking?!” his panicked, yet soft voice shoots through the noise around you. “Stay down, don’t stand…!”
