"Becker reminds me of a few guys I knew from the academy, though I'd only met him once or twice here," Damien spoke with a nod. "Good soldier, and someone I can trust in a combat situation, along with a few other people. And a good guy. There's a few friends here that he helped out, and vice versa." He thought it was nice to meet her as well. He rarely had a chance to meet someone new these days, thought that seemed to be changing a bit. Like Alicia, for example, he was surprised that someone from Hogwarts would willingly jump from a plane. But they did. Seemed that people in this place continued to surprise him.
"It gets easier to patrol after a while, I think," he said then, "Most people can easily walk a route and keep their eyes open. Mostly a matter of having fast response times in case of threat, knowing a threat when they see it, possible backup strategies, stuff like that." He smiled and added, "It's also good when there's two assigned to it instead of only one." Though he could do it solo if necessary. But it was nice to have help and a second pair of eyes just in case. He'd have to do this more often, he thought. "Haven't seen anything out of place tonight yet though. Nothing on the paranormal or supernatural side of things, anyway."
He nodded at the question of being in Kansas previously. Now there was a story. Multiple ones, really. "Oh yes," he answered as they kept on the route and being alert, "I came back a few months ago after being sent home in June. But I'd first arrived here near the beginning when the arrivals started. Was actually before the Apocalypse started the first time by Lilith. 2009, or '10, I believe. Before we got the big apartment complex. Which was unfortunately destroyed later and now we have four or more residences to choose from. So in all, I had been here for about.. five years. I'd seen a lot of things in that time, most of which the Seal caused. Crazy things that.. well, you probably have seen a couple of the weird shenanigans yourself already. I could list off a few if you're interested." He briefly glanced at his hand to his ring finger, remembering important another thing that took place in that time before. No ring now, but he had the memory at least.
