Rep shook his head. "Nah man, we don't need armour, as cool as it would be. Our weapons protect us. Best way I can explain it like, it's like we have a shield? And with that shield, like nothing can hurt us. You could right now like, stab me through the heart with a knife. It'd go in. You could pull it out. It wouldn't hurt me. To hurt me you'd need to break my shield, and that is easier said than done." He grinned. "It's what I meant about being superhuman, more than human. Your shield won't be as strong as a full ranked hunter with practice under their belt, but it still makes you like a million times more badass than your average human."
He raked a hand through the fur trim on his coat. "Nah coat's are important because they tell people who you are in the world. If someone's jacket has these on the trim." He gestured to the squares on his cuffs. "They are an intermediate trainee. A step up from you but no a hunter. If they have a fade on there. Hunter. Your jacket tells people a lot about you, divisions make first impressions too. Some don't much like others."

"Oh," it was clear Al might have been just a bit in over his head as he tried to wrap his brain around the concept of stabbing someone in the heart and yet causing no damage. He still bobbed his head along, trying to pretend he understood perfectly.
At least the explanation of the coat seemed to make it's mark, "Oh; Like a medal of honour?" He seemed impressed by what Rep showed him of his own coat. Leaning in to stare at the squares with wide excited eyes. Then he looked at his own to find... solid trim, which he pointed to, "Does this mean I just woke up, then?" He didn't even want to think about some other division hating him for his scythes right now. Scythes were cool ok.

"Yep. Solid trim means you are a trainee, pod meat. It means a lot of people will be out to try and sway you to their own agendas and s**t. No me. I just like to help out newbies, and you seem like a smart guy, you look like a survivor to me, even if your weapon is a stick." He looked around the mostly empty room thoughtfully, almost sad he never got to see it in happier times.
"If you want, once you are settled in a bit, we can grab you a snack and go over to the training fields. I can explain how fighting and s**t works." he waved a hand "Fighting's my thing. Division and whatever."

Al nodded agreeably until the crack at having a stick turned his gaze back on Nuru critically.
Al shook his head, "No. I told you." His words spoken out loud but clearly not directed at Rep. "I mean. Aye, that sounds cool. I'm certainly hungry so um... we can go right now? I can sort my clothes later." He flashed Rep a hopefully distracting smile.

Rep smirked at Al speaking aloud to his weapon. "You know you can talk to it in your head? You just think the words, they can read your thoughts to an extent. Nothing will ever be private again." Not that much looked set to be private anyway with a room with no corridor wall.
"Sure, whatever man." He'd wanted a look through Al's things to see if anything was able to be filched but that could also wait till later. There weren't many places to hide anything in this place. "Lets go. We'll stop off at the cafeteria before we head over, you can grab a sandwich or something, if whoever's working kitchen bothered to set s**t out."

"Y-yeah I knew that... I just...," Al pouted at Rep. Nothing ever being private again? Really? That's horrifying when you consider the details...
Not helping.
"I hope they did," he commented just in time for his stomach to harp up in agreement. He turned about as red as his scarf - something he also needed to ask about. But that was for after eating.

Rep chuckled throatily "Enjoy never having a non guilty wank ever again."
He didn't press too much though, the other guy was embarrassed enough already. "'mon then" he said with a grin, heading out of the gap in the tarp.

Al managed to somehow turn even redder as he shuffled after Rep. He decided to take the route of no comment with this one.
