The new Green Great Knight might appear intimidating to most: towering at a whopping 6'7" (and several inches more thanks to his boots), donned with his newly acquired winged cloak (which, named after the god of war, was appropriately bloodied), and with sharp green eyes, Jack didn't outwardly appear to be the most friendly looking man around. Even while standing, his hand sat at its belt, fingers curled slightly like they would had he been holding his bow. (Like they were itching to.) Upon approach, however, one could tell that beyond the stoic look was a quiet, if tired determination to see everything through.
He waited and watched, observing even those that were not of his color as the knights gathered. "My name is Jack Hawthorn, Well met," he greeted them with a small nod. "Gawain's death was regrettable for many reasons, but remember your pledge: ours is the promise to preserve and to heal our people and country. We are the ones who must keep steady hands and steady hearts so that others can continue to fight. Thus, I would like to learn about you and your experiences while we have this time: cooperation and coordination will be necessary in the coming battles."

Compared to Jack, Drona was disheveled and unassuming. The cloths that she wrapped around her body were mismatched shades of green and so torn in places the skin they revealed was questionable. She didn't stand tall, despite being only a couple inches shorter than his impressive height at 6'5". Instead she leaned loosely against her glaive, planted firmly in the ground. The only thing that looked to be of any greatness on her person was the massive zweihander strapped to her back.
She didn't appear very intimidated by the chasm of difference between them.
"We're on a suicide mission aren't we? Seems a bit weird to get chummy now."

"It's our job to make sure it isn't one," he answered. "This is less about making friends and more assessing you so that I know what skills you have for the coming battle."
He reached out a hand. "Jack Hawthorn. And you are?"

It was a rare occasion when Brenley felt short, but as he approached their new Great Knight, he felt positively miniscule, both in height and worth. He straightened unconsciously, waiting to speak until the equally tall and thoroughly cynical woman in front of... Jack, was it?... had introduced herself.

Caoineadh looked at the new great Knight, bowing her head politely, her own longbow, Lady Woe strapped to her back, the delicate silver chain linked to her wrist, luckily not impeding her ability to draw it if need be.
She looked about and realized just how shattered the knights are. So few of them left, but at least those who were seemed willing to continue on. She closed her eyes and stepped forward, grateful still that he feminine frame was hidden by the more masculine clothing she was wearing. Frailty was not something she was willing to show.
"Well met as well, I am Caoin." She bit her lower lip a moment then looked around. Uh, yeah so she was going to be rather puny compared to those around, 5'4... yeah... why did the other healers need to be so huge?

The new Great Knight’s height did not intimidate TK in the slightest. With his own six foot stature, the height difference between the two was not as great compared to some of the other knights. It was rare to be looking up at someone; he was more accustomed to the very opposite, but he supposed this was not a bad change of pace either.
He stood among the other green knights with his bo staff held securely in his hands. His arms were folded neatly across his chest as he stared past Jack’s face. It appeared as if he was looking at the Great Knight, but not really. Keeping calm and steady during a fight was not a problem for TK, but if Jack expected him to be chivalrous and do everything in the name of their so-called country, well, that was another matter altogether. He would make sure he would survive and considering it was his duty, he would try to make sure everyone else made it out in one piece too, but it wasn’t exactly his number one priority.
As one of them spoke up, TK curled his lips into a wry smile. “It will only be a suicide mission if you believe it is.” He leaned over, resting against his staff as he looked at Drona. “These types of tasks often require a sizeable amount of determination and confidence.” TK mused, his gaze looking to the side.
A pause. “I understand our main task is to treat injuries and heal, but since our makeshift infirmary will be on enemy grounds, guards will probably be necessary. I would like to know if these guards will hail from our faction or another. I suppose it would depend on how much manpower we have to spare.”

"Caoin," he echoed, trying the name out. "Peculiar name. Good to have you all here," he greeted them as the knights stepped forward.
To the rail thin man, Jack made a musing sound. "That would depend on where Arrakis' brigade is situated," he answered, "though their focus is to be supporting the offense. Estel's group will be keeping an eye out for escape routes should things grow dire, and Violets should be helping us keep tabs on our resources--I am sure any number of them may double as a guard should we ask. As we number so few in comparison, however, we may very well have to focus on healing over defense even if the darkness is at our door. I am, of course, trusting that each of you has proven yourself capable in combat," he added to the group. "Should worst come to worst, I will take up the defense and select one or two of you to help me, but our priority must be to get our soldiers back on their feet."
He made a small gesture. "Other questions or suggestions? State your name if I have not yet heard it."

"I'm honestly probably better at the bashing and stabbing than at the healing, but I'll try my best," Drona shrugged. "I want to save people, I just don't know that I believe we can."
She returned the handshake good-naturedly. "Drona Ragwort."

"Brenley," he replied. "It is good to meet all of you."
He could do this, stay back and heal, but he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't stop helping others to save his own skin once the shadowlings got too close. Maybe it wouldn't come to that. He hoped it wouldn't. He hoped the Great Knights great plans wouldn't prove useless in the end.
"I don't have any questions. Just point me where you want me."
