He's grateful for the warning, and turns to face Sarah. He relaxes a hair, and shrugs slightly.

"Hand to hand isn't my specialty, but I've adapted. It's not all that difficult..."

At least not for him. Not with his reflexes.

Sarah nods.

"Looked familiar, actually. Lieutenant Sarah Snowdon, Fenrir Far East. Nice to meet you."

"Allelujah Haptism. I'm from the HRL. - Ah. Human Reform League. It's one of the three political power blocs in my world."

Not that he really identifies with it anymore, but at least it's technically not a lie.

Sarah considers this.

"Your world has three power blocs? Sounds complicated."

"It is. They've been at war for a very long time. They're mostly organized by geographic area - if your world has Russia and China, that's the area the HRL is based in."

"Russia, huh...one of my subordinates is from the Russian branch. China...that's the mainland, isn't it? Not many people remember that name; it gets lumped in as the Far East."

He looks a little surprised that she recognizes the names. "It's not that far... though it's pretty easy to get between places in my world."

Sarah pauses slightly when she sees the surprise on his face.

"Ah. I'm from Earth, year 2071. I've been reading up since I got here and I believe the term used to describe my homeworld is 'post-apocalyptic wasteland'."

"I'm also from Earth, but it's 2308."

He sort of figured they were from different Earths.

Really, as far as Sarah is concerned, the 'post-apocalyptic wasteland' was the important bit.

"Would you like to patrol with me?"

"Sure."

The more the merrier, right?

Sarah takes point - she's used to it - and heads out.

"What's your combat specialty?"

"Mostly long-range. I generally pilot a mobile suit - like a giant robot, basically. I've been trained in hand to hand though."

A lot of that training was by necessity on the streets, but... yeah.

Sarah's eyebrows raise at the mention of giant robots, but she nods thoughtfully at the rest of it. She shifts her sword a little to bring attention to it before speaking.

"My God Arc here is a variable weapon that switches between gun and sword modes. The particular configuration I have here is optimized for hit-and-run tactics."

"I have a knife and a gun with me, as well as my Persona." He hums thoughtfully at the weapon.

"That seems pretty useful."

He also has Hallelujah, but... best not to talk about him.
