yeah you guessed it another Gundam headed for UG@

 1) combat

He steps back in Heavyarms, taking a few direct hits, but he ignores them for a brief moment scanning the area, he told the others he'd make sure the civilians were covered until they could escape.  Waiting until the enemy is closer he opens fire, five of the mobile suits fall with ease.  

"Just leaves the one."  His words aren't really for anyone, maybe just there to let his comrades know he wasn't killed in the exploding machines.  Trowa charges forward, compensating for the extra weight of the gatling gun that's his suit's arm.  Flicking the knife out of where it's folded on the right he goes in for the kill.

2) up and about

He's seated in a common area the book in his lap's old and worn, he's read it hundreds of times before.  Though he's really not really reading.  He's watching people, judging maybe?  Maybe you should go figure out what he's doing?

[[There is a tiny tiny man staring, holding a spear twice his height. He seems to be stroking his beard as he peers over the title of the book.]]

That name... A man of the Sun clan, alive to this day? Or simply his teachings?

[tad_overkill]

Trowa glances up from the book, he almost does a double take at the spear because really who other than Wufei would use such a primitive weapon in combat?

"Sadly just his teachings." He decided why not, most people around him were to put it bluntly, boring.

[[You're more surprised by the spear, and not the 3 foot talking green Gundam standing before you?

Priorities, bro.]]

To think a man of that caliber would have his methods used and studied to this very day. Fascinating! But war these days is far, far removed from my era.

[tad_overkill]

Dude, could be a theme park and some guy dressed in a mascot! Besides if it's on the Chalice... yeah.

Though era... that makes him quirk a brow. "Wars have no place. Yet we still fight. It's all humans seem to know how to do."

[[The spear smacks the floor]]

You are wrong child. War has it's place, no matter how unwelcome it may be. So long as there is strength, there will be the weak. And so long as man and machine alike use that strength against the weak, there will be those who both follow and oppose him. And that is how war begins; a test of strength and justice. A fight for what is both right and wrong.

Were it not for war, thought and creation would be stifled. There would be no need to improve ourselves further, and life itself would become boring and stagnant.

[[He strokes his beard again, now that he's said his piece.]] While your words are wrong, your sentiment is as true as I am strong.

Okay yeah see that little Gundam dude, he just flinched, even though his body didn't move. Congrats it's rare to get emotion from him, well true emotion.

Trowa stayed silent a few moments while he spoke. "Wars have no winners, small victories yes, but most soldiers don't even understand what they fight for. What they need to protect." In the back of his mind Catherine and Quatre appeared. Probably the only two people he'd feel sorry about worrying if he ever lost a battle.

And again, it strokes it's metallic beard in thought. "You're quite wise for your age. A war fought will always have it's losses, men, supplies, lands. But even if a war were fought without the use of any, then it is a war for nothing, and that is a war that has no place."

"As different as times are, so many things are the same."

[tad_overkill]

"Maybe I'm just tired of it. Tired of making Catherine worried." Because really his sister's tears were what stopped him from being too foolish, he hated the idea of making her cry.
