(later that day)
Rico is standing near a stone statue depicting warriors fighting off creatures very much alike the Orcs of the fantasy stories he grew up watching videos and reading books about. The workmanship is simply beautiful, quite elegant and detailed. A familiar voice brings him out of his thoughts and he turns towards its origin, finding a smiling captain Fioranna and Sergeant Dierren there, the Captain approaches and out of reflex, Rico snaps to and salutes, the captain stops, taking in the sight and gives a military bow in return, having recognized Rico's salute as a sign of respect,the trooper relaxes, lowering his arm to his side. "You like the statue Sergeant?" She asks, gently placing her hand on the shoulder of one of the Soldiers depicted, the only woman shown.Rico nods softly."Yes ma'am, it does, the piece is stunning." Fioranna smiles. "It has a very personal meaning to me and it honors me that you do. You see... this woman depicted here, she was my grandmother, so you honor me by appreciating this statue."Rico nods again."I see, then it makes me like it even more, that i know a descendant of an obviously honored warrior." Fioranna smiles."Come Sergeant, Let us retreat to my office where we may discuss an opportunity for a task I feel you are quite suitable for." Rico nods."Lead the way ma'am!" Fioranna smiles and heads towards the stairs, Rico and Dierren following a step behind her, the Sergeant patting his shoulder. "I have a feeling you will like what the Captain has to offer my friend." Rico smiles, patting Dierren's shoulder back."All the more reason for me to listen to her proposal then isn't it?" He says, chuckling as they climb the stairs up after the Captain and follow her down the hallway to her office.
