You see him sitting quietly in the snow in the middle of a forest

Howard: Experiencing shell shock soldier?

"He was fighting for hope. Kindness...."

"The dictator hiding away in their home country? Dude, please."

"we aren't talking about the same person, aren't we?"

"Doesn't sound like it."
He notices the sniper bullet coming at him at 2000 miles an hour, dodging it with reflex
"Technology am I right. 50.Cal don't travel that fast

"Crap." He whips out his pistol. "I'm betting kuitra soldiers with ballistics"

"Ballistics are far too primal for 2000 mph bullets. It is something else". Uses nano-techs to form a sleek looking orange sniper with a long and big barrel and a visual scope "As my French friend would say, They are so dead"

"true...AP railguns maybe?"

"Nah, it wasn't a railgun. It was a physical, tangible metal bullet. It is definitely a new design"
Shoots 10 bullets in 5 seconds with his sniper
"Damn I'm washed. I only hit 9"

"Holy crap what did you shoot?"

"Some round of strength and prowess"

Daniel slowly looks up at you, a flaming sword mark across his helmet, like it was slashed.
"Who are you?" He says, raggedly.

Howard: A hero of a far away land.

"Davion or kuitra?"
He looks you over weakly.
"You bear no insignia."

Howard: I told you, far away land. I don't know how things work around here

"Huh. So you're like other people I've met."

Howard: What people? Did they wear a darker toned armor like mine?

"Nope. Just some...people from other realms.."
He breathes heavily, then coughs.
"Im Daniel."

Howard: Well, I'm Howard

"To your question....I'm not shell shocked. Never am. Just....need a moment."
He stares at a depression in the snow in the shape of a human in body armor as shouts and fighting go on in the distance.

"Pointless war. Just like most wars, caused by greed"

"....so not house kuitra soldiers. Got it."

"We're getting shot, so we have no choice to fight them. I prefer fighting close combat"

"Alrighty. I'll just...." He grabs a knife out of his holster and holds it up.

me: what are you doing here?

Phonk Reaper: *he walks next to him, listening to music with closed... Eyes, but he opens them to change the song on his phone and sees Daniel.*
You look. Like this guy from Halo.

No nsfw. Joke is okay I guess.

*you fall for a man instead*

Echo: *notices Daniel, and approaches him slowly, ignoring my hostile behavior towards humans* What are you doing here? It's cold.
