As the group approached the gates of the castle, Okita took one last sip of sake before slipping the bottle into one of his pockets. He then began, with great difficulty, tucking his shirt in. Managing to do a well enough job with one hand, he straightened his posture and marched up to the gatehouse in perfect parade march. "I'm retired former Captain of the Black Vanguard Unit, discharged honorably from the King's army due to injuries sustained". He used his right arm to remove his left section of shirt from his body, revealing his stub and seven insignia's burned into the left side of his chest, over the heart. One guard, a female blushed bright red at his revealed body and insignia's of service. "I recruited this passing guard in order to capture these two Rosilian spy's trying to operate near my home. I wish to enter and report to the Captain of the Guard, and nominate this soldier for a insignia of service." The female guard stammering over her words, spoke before her fellows. "Of..Of course sir.." as she called for the gates to open still blushing.
Okita had pulled his shirt back in place and continued to parade march till they entered the passage for the dungeons. Neglecting to report to the Guard Captain, or nominating Marr for a insignia of service. Once out of site from the main courtyard, Okita pulled the sake from his pocket, gulped the remaindered and slowed to the back of there group, letting a silent sob slip.
(Instead of Medals of Service, The Kantle Army burns Insignia's of service into soldiers who have performed above and beyond. Okita a former captain of a Vanguard Unit received seven Insignia's in his days of service, a outstanding and remarkable amount for a soldier of his age and rank, slingshoting him to becoming Captain of the Black Vanguard.)
