I Don't Do This Everyday (Noah Corek)

[Ponyboy Reynolds]

Running out in the open was not really normal on Corellia, but who cared. Ponyboy ran almost every day. Today he decided to run down a different road. Turning down a unfamiliar road Pony ran the block than went down another block. There were a few people on the sidewalk, but they were easy to avoid.

He waved to a mother and her children flashing a quick smile then continued on.

Turning the last corner Ponyboy didn't see the man who was around it. He slammed right into him and fell to the ground.

Ponyboy quickly got up and looked at [member="Noah Corek"] "uh...s-sorry sir I didn't see you." Ponyboy rubbed the back of his neck and looked to the ground. If the man was hostile, Ponyboy had a shortsword attached to his vest.

"M'names Ryan...but my friends call me Ponyboy."

Noah was going to a important meeting, he was looking at his datapad as he scrolled through the most recent reports from Empress Teta. Noah had to admit, when the Mandalorians said they were going to step up to the plate, they came to the plate with a entire army and fleet. It was as he was about to round the next corner a kid who couldn't have been more than seventeen slammed into him. When Noah heard the kid stuttering to explain himself, Noah had to chuckle. "It's alright kid, I wasn't looking where I was going anyway." Noah told the kid as he smoothed out his fatigues. When Ponyboy looked up he would see the exact definition a jarhead, from the combat boots he wore on his feet, to the Corek Custom Revolving Slugthrower on his and the dog tags around his neck, with his sleeves rolled up he could also see the Omega Pyre emblem on his upper forearm.

Ponyboy looked up, he hadn't realized that the man was a solider of The Omega Protectorate...well the Pryre to be exact. His eyes widened Pony liked the CorSec but seeng someone from the OP was even better. He looked at the man's dog tags around his neck, then his revolver, the revolver definitely made Pony lighten up.

"It's alright kid, I wasn't looking where I was going anyway." The man said to Pony.

Pony smiled,

"Thank you, I didn't realize that you were a solider." Ponyboy said in amazement.

Noah smiled and shook his head a bit when the kid looked up at Noah in awe. "Yeah, the names Noah Corek, Colonel, second-in-command of the Omega Pyre." Noah told him, if the fact that he was a soldier got him in awe, the fact he was second-in-command of the Protectorates elite unit would probably have the kid star struck. "What's your story kid?"

 

[Ponyboy Reynolds]

The boy snapped out of his gaze when Noah said he was the second in command and a Colonel.

The boy's smile widened and his mouth dropped open.

"T-That's e-epic." Was all the words he could choke out.

But then when the colonel asked him what was his story he could only help but chuckle.

"Well sir, my parents disliked most of the security here but I guess they were thieves. One night my parents were murdered in our house. Me and my brother hardly shed a tear, we left...he abandoned me...and now I guess I just do my daily schedule of running and traveling."

Noah raised a eyebrow when he said his normal schedule consisted of running and traveling. "Well if you like traveling, I'm on my way to a small impromptu meeting between me and a few other Pyre and Protectorate soldiers. And since you seem interested in the military, I have no doubt that you would enjoy sitting and listening in." Noah informed him with a small smile.

Ponyboy's eyes widened.

"May I Colonel?" Ponyboy asked with his mouth wide opened.
Pony admired the colonel, he seemed so polite.

"Sure kid, just make sure to talk only when talked to. These ODF officers have a way of having a false sense of entitlement just because they went to some sort of academy." Noah informed him as he resumed walking a typing in commands to his datapad, he didn't look back, since he was one hundred percent certain that Pony was following right behind him.

 

[Ponyboy Reynolds]

Ponyboy was pretty excited, when Noah started to walk Ponyboy followed right behind him.

"So Colonel, what do you do on a day to day basis?" Pony asked

He hoped he didn't disturb Noah too much...

"Well Pony, I usually wake up, exercise, take my daughter to school and then after that I go train a little and that comprises the first half of my day. The second half is usually filed with meetings and training new recruits. After that I usually pick my daughter up and then take her home and we have dinner." Noah told him as he typed something into his datapad.

 

[Ponyboy Reynolds]

"Woah, meetings every day?" Pony said in amazement at how full his schedule was. He kept up with the Colonel. The man was typing into his data pad, most likely something top secret, so e didn't ask.

"You have a daughter... you seem pretty young for your age though." Ponyboy said.

He brushed his hand through his hair.

He couldn't believe where he was going.

Noah laughed when Pony said Noah looked young. "Young? I'm thirty-four, Melissa is my light though, after the all the poodoo I've gone through, her and Cara are the two most important things in my life." Noah informed Pony, his face hardening at the thought of what he would do to anyone who even thought of harming Melissa or Cara.

 

[Ponyboy Reynolds]

"They really seem like it." Pony said

He followed the colonel

"How much further Colonel?" Pony asked out of curiosity.

It wasn't because he was tired of walking but he was just really anxious.
