"At times, that's difficult to remember." Others hadn't seen Sol on the battlefield. And also the indifference and detachment with which Sol conducted himself at times led Ky to wonder if the man truly possessed any sort of emotional centre--something vital to humanity. And Ky hadn't "gone out of his way" to "make" anyone do anything; he'd simply... done it. Simply taken the duty given to him and performed it to the best of his ability, even when it should have made him bend or break. He couldn't just stop, not when so much was riding on the Order's success against the Gears. If he'd stopped to eat or sleep more often than he had, there had been too many "what if's" in his young mind at the time. Ky didn't think anyone had really done anything wrong; they'd just found someone they wanted desperately to be able to rely on, and he'd done his absolute best to make sure that their hopes could be seen through.

And his own, perhaps, to see a day without the war raging around him. A day where everyone could smile.

And chewing could be terribly obnoxious when done just the right way, but that most often required manners being a thing good and forgotten. With that look, however, Ky found he had very little else to say. He wasn't one for small talk, and that hardly seemed appropriate to do with Sol.
