Wolf at Bay
Who: Garviel Loken and Meetra Surik
Where: Sagittarius Ward
Summary: The paranoid space marine gets talked into going to war.
Warnings: Wordiness. POWER VIOLENCE.
[Garviel stands atop a factory in the Saggitarius ward, by an exhaust vent, his armor heaving heavily as he gasps for air, having clambered up it to escape the scorpions. To escape everyone. For the first time in his life, his morale has broken. A warrior that has faced off against Demigods, Titans, and the darkness of the Warp itself has run. He looks at his bolter, at his combat knife. And for a moment... he contemplates his dishonor. Such a manifest sin. How can he expiate it? How can he stand by with his brother watching. His brother.... For another astartes stands with the last loyal son tonight, a taller figure in green plate, watching over the shuddering form of the Silent Wolf. He doesn't do anything, just watches Loken in agony, unable to save his friend as Loken was once unable to save him. For he is just another part of Garviel. ]

"Now, the thought of going down into the city and fighting this insanity absolutely terrifies me. I think that means it's a good idea," she said, pasting on a confident smile. "How about you?"

He rumbles, which is as close to assent as she's liable to get from him.

She turned and looked back toward where they'd come from. Fires were starting in a few places, and she could practically taste the fear and anger in the air.
"Watch my back?"

He puts away his combat knife, drawing his chainsword and bolter.
