Description: None other than William Guile is offering a few pointers in unarmed combat. He seems eager to test the new Delta Red recruit, and she's under orders to practice more. This can only end one way.
Eighteen hundred hours, by the light of a steel drum fire, a number of soldiers from different areas of the encampement have gathered amongst the American encampment. Holding an impromptu event in the dim light, there are various cheers, boos and catcalls in almost every accent represented within NATO. Two men in wilderness camo are facing off currently, and Guile is sitting on a steel drum just outside of the fight circle. He is currently chewing on the end of a lit cigarette, smoke billowing away from him every so often.
The two combatants, a Russian and an American, are tangling up in the middle of the circle. The Russian seems to be an able-bodied fighter with a wrestling background while the American seems to be using a mishmosh of techniques commonly called MCMAPS in the US Armed Services. The Russian ties up the American soldier on an armbar, reaches over to grab the the US serviceman by the opposite lapel and proceeds to throw him over the horizon. The American lands with a loud woosh of air, seeming to have lost his breath in his landing.
Showing that this is, indeed, a lesson and not a fight for the simple sake of fighting, Guile stands up and calls, "Hold." He walks over the the US soldier, crouches down for a moment, and then pulls him up when he is ready. Guile moves back to the Russian and begins speaking to the American, "The only problem you seem to be having is in your close-in grappling. Your throws are fine, and your boxing is adequate, but when an opponent ties you up, you seem flustered. Practice your wrestling." He then looks to the Russian and gestures him forward before speaking a bit of Russian, "Yuri, idite syuda." The Russian takes Guile's arm, quickly taking it back into the same arm bar he had before on the other serviceman. He reaches across, full speed, and takes Guile by the strap of his tank top. Guile sticks and arm out to block the forward momentum of the Russian, sweeps his arm away and then steps between the Russian's legs. The act of stepping brings Guile down into a crouch. He reaches out, wrapping the Russian's leg firmly with his left arm, and shifts his shoulders as he drops butt first to the ground. The Russian soldier is pulled over Guile's shoulders, and then flipped to land on his back. Guile turns quickly, delivering a strike which is pulled short before reaching the Russians face. He stands, helping the Russian back up to his feet and then turns to the audience, "So, what did we do there. We stopped the forward momentum, broke the designed hold, and then executed a counter offensive. Furthermore, we carried through with our attack to its next logical point, our own offensive."
"Any questions?"
Cammy is with the small Delta Red contingent of grunts, settled on the ground with her knees up to her chin, and with her arms wrapped around her camo painted legs. Some of the others are sitting with her, some are standing, all are watching with interest. Cammy has worked out by now from conversation with the others that apparently Captain Guile is one of the very best fighters in the US Army, and that surely counts for a lot. And on top of that, Colonel Wolfman himself told her to pay attention. And it's true that when she watche, she feels a strange sort of instinctive connection to what is going on, even if she may not consciously understand it.
The flesh, at least, remembers.
She glances around at the others present, their faces lit by the warm glow of the fire, and has to smile. So many people, of so many different nationalities, but all here united - it does somehow seem something special to her, and there's certainly a warm spirit of camaraderie around. Even from the French contingent, who she met last night, and did in fact prove to be extremely welcoming and generous hosts to her.
At Guiles question, she scrunches her face up in concentration, but subconsciously shakes her head. No, that all seems to be fairly straightforward - and is in fact how she prefers to fight herself, getting away from the opponent before coming back with a counteroffensive of her own. Her blue eyes go back to Guile, a little bit too intense and stary perhaps, but clearly attentive and interested.
One particular soldier asks about his signature move, the Sonic Boom. Guile's eyes become far away for a moment, before he looks down towards the ground, "The sonic boom. Well... That's kind of a long story." He moves back over to the oil drum, sitting back down as he begins to relate, "We all have a life force in and around us. The Chinese called this energy chi. The Japanese came to call this ki. There's a hundred other names for it around the world. Anyway, my commanding officer and teacher was a Air Force captain by the name of Charlie Nash. He taught me how to use this energy to create the sonic booms and the flash kicks that I'm known for today. Charlie actually did them first, and did them better. It's dual-faceted however. You have to train, day and night, at the expense of all else. Then, it's all for nothing if you just don't have the talent for it."
Guile takes a deep breath and then stands again, "This isn't a discussion for now, though. We're working on improving the skills you might need when you cross that border and kicks some ass!" He growls at the last, plenty of cheers going up in support of the Captain. Guile clears his throat and adds, "Alright. On your feet! Team up with one of our Russian hosts. Work with them on your grappling skills because you have to be prepared for that kind of close-in assault that happens in an ambush."
He looks towards Cammy, however, gesturing her towards him as he sits down on the oil drum again.
Wow. He wants her? She glances up at her Delta Red fellows with a frown. She knows Colonel Wolfman apparently has the utmost confidence in her, and apparently some of these guys even remember her from years ago and have told her that yes, she is very, very good. But she doesn't remember any of that. She sighs, and smiles a wry smile, before slowly getting up. "You've been telling tales about me." she mutters to them with a frown, before walking over to the Captain.
She salutes when she gets in range. "Captain. I must say, it's been a more enjoyable night so far than I anticipated!" she tells him with a smile. Mainly because she feels like part of a big team, an organisation much bigger than she is, and and ex-doll finds that rewarding. The flesh remembers that part, too... "Interesting talk about the sonic boom. I have heard about it, but thats all - and nobody ever really talked to me about ki or anything before. I'm not sure I have the talent for it. I suspect, I do not.". To put it mildly.
"Though this is only my third day in Delta Red so I'm barely through the induction yet! I noticed the Russian soldiers were very good at wrestling. I have heard about Zangief, I wonder if they look up to him or something. I hear he's quite impressive.".
Guile raises an eyebrow as Cammy tells of the tales, "How do you figure? Tales imply duplicity and the liberal use of half-truths. I've used no such tools." Guile listens for a moment longer and replies, "Well, the ability to work with ki is either something you have or you don't, but you don't know until you try." He says this with a careful edge to his voice, but he quickly glosses over it, "Anyway, what the deuce ails you, woman? You're one of the top one or two percent of fighters in the entire world, and you have nothing at all to add to this discussion? These are your fellow soldiers out here, some of which may have to rely on the training they get here tonight and may be dead tomorrow if we miss something."
A firm frown settles on Guile's face until he nods his head, "Yeah. They look up to Zangief here. He's a national hero. Many of these soldiers use techniques from Russian wrestling in a form of combat they call Systema. Zangief is arguably the best wrestler in the world."
"Oh, was just observing that you picked /me/, is all, sir." Cammy replies hurriedly, hoping he's not pissed off or anything. "I wasn't aware that I was so infamous.". She does allow herself a small smirk a little at that though, as it is always nice to be valued!
That smirk fades away though at his protestations. "Sorry, sir." she says crisply. "So everybody seems to say. But, well. I don't really remember anything much. I'm hoping this will wear off, the nurses did say that amnesia is usually temporary, but it hasn't yet, I'm afraid. That said, I do feel a certain familiarity with this stuff.".
She shrugs, and glances around at the crowd, suddenly a little disconsolate. "I'm sure I'll rise to the challenge, but right now at least it's a little daunting." she confesses. "I wonder if I should practice more with my ninja friend." she muses, pondering if thats how she met Ibuki. "I mean, there's a lot about myself that I don't know about, and it is quite uncomfortable. I'm sure I'm not yet at my best.".
Standing up from the oil drum, Guile chuckles and nods his head, "Yes I did pick you. I'm not the best at holding back and I know I could seriously injure any of these men. But you, no... You recover much too fast for a simple sparring match to affect you when we go into China." He reaches up, beginning to unbutton the woodland camo shirt to reveal the tanktop beneath.
"So what you're saying is that you know you're a top tier fighter, but... You don't remember how to fight?" This seems to perturb Guile for a moment before he grunts, "Well, if you're up for it, we'll see what you do remember. Iron sharpens iron, as they say."
"I don't remember consciously. But I did already spar with some of my fellow soldiers back in London, as soon as I was out of the hospital. Colonel Wolfman was curious how I'd do.". Cammy seems faintly embarassed if anything, though she frowns a determined frown as she thinks on her experiences thus far. "So, ehm, yes. I don't know, it's odd, it's just sort of automatic." she tells him, looking a bit distant for a moment, peering into the distance over Guile's shoulder. "Hard to explain.".
She shrugs. "I guess I have a certain inbuilt talent, you might say." she offers. "The amnesia doesn't seem to have made me totally useless, though my CO wants me to practice to make sure, and I'd like to be able to do something more than run on autopilot. He has said this has happened before, oddly enough, and is sure I'll be fine. It is rather strange. Oh, that reminds me, I meant to ask if you knew this woman I met outside the camp last night. Perhaps now is not the best time for it. She seemed to know me from before that nuclear incident - we can talk about it later though as you prefer.". She nods. "After we sharpen the iron, as it were." she agrees, assuming her determined look again, and reaching down to tug at her red gauntlets in turn, making sure each fits on her hand snugly.
Peeling back the jacket of his BDUs, Guile carefully folds it up and sets it on the oil drum he had been using as a seat. He glances towards Cammy for a moment and speaks, "Well, Colonel Wolfman is right. You should practice. The more you do, the more that the techniques that you know will return to you." He steps out into the fight circle, circling around it to move soldiers out further and further until he and Cammy have a respectable circle to spar in all to themselves.
He reaches up, ensuring his hair is in place. Finding it adequate for the fight, he looks back towards Cammy, "The way I've seen you fight is so fast that the majority of the time you must be acting on muscle memory. The feel of your leg extended with a kick, and the stretch of a shoulder as you punch. It's all still in there. I imagine it's a matter of putting you in all the situations that you've trained to handle to bring your own capabilities back to mind. Of all things, I want you to remember something... You are a very capable soldier, Cammy White. One of the best. Do not hesitate to explore your full potential in this fight."
"Do you understand me, soldier?"

"You saw me fight?" Cammy asks, bemused. My. it seems like everybody knows her. But also, everybody seems a bit coy about mentioning just /how/ they know her, she's noticed that as well. "You never told me that. I guess I did my Delta Red friends a disservice just now about telling tales about me.".
She backs away slowly, and nods. "Okay, sir." she says, with a frown of almost comical determination on her face, which really does not look like the face of a soldier. On the other hand, those muscly legs and arms do fit the part rather better... She blinks. "Beginning mission." she mutters, and her blue eyes fade out a little, almost like she's going into a trance.
And then suddenly, after she has seemingly relaxed completely, she hurls herself right at him, boots first, in a flash of speed!

Guile nods his head slowly, "I did. It seems like a lifetime ago." He stretches his arms, checks his hair again and then drops into his signature crouch. Arms deceptively wide, hands held up, first knuckle on each hand extended.
Outside the hearing of others, who have stopped what they were doing to start watching the match about to take place in the sparring circle, Guile hears Cammy mutter something which catches him offguard. The boot coming at him a moment later doesn't, however. He sweeps his arm across, deflecting the majority of the attack and angling her away from him. He hops up, bringing his knee up and directing it towards Cammy with a grunt.

Cammy bounces off of Guile boots first, ends up on the dirt ground. Flipping back up onto her feet, she rights herself just in time to almost catch Guile's knee with her face. Red gauntlets come up in the last second to fend him off, the sharp crack of the impact echoing around the camp. Needless to say, a lot of soldiers are staring at this matchup with some fascination now.
The ex-doll rocks backwards with the impact and flips over onto her hands like an acrobat - only to power off and come straight back at him again, legs first once again. This time though she's not trying to slam her boots into him, rather wrap her legs around his neck. Which might sound fun without the whole slamming headfirst into the ground part that will come almost instantly afterwards, if she succeeds.

Tracking Cammy with his sharp blue eyes, Guile shifts on his feet to follow her flight pattern only to have her jump back towards him. He starts to bring his hands up but then drops them, being subsequently wrapped in a necklock and then pulled over to be dropped on his head. Guile quickly moves back to his feet but he seems to have a groggy time of it. There is a flat-top shaped dent in the ground they are sparring on. He turns, looking for Cammy and then nods his head, "That's good, but you can do better. Show me!"
He dashes forward, his right fist up to strike towards Cammy. At the last second, he seems to turn away, hopping on one foot and dragging his right arm behind him as he turns an entire 360 degrees to build up momentum into a crushing backhand.

Cammy goes low to try and slip beneath the fist - but not quite low enough, and she gets a fully powered up Guile in the forehead. She staggers a bit, but doesn't quite fall over, instead backflipping away. Dazed a little, she stares at him with blank eyes. "Lock on!" she cries out, and then suddenly she launches herself at him again.
This time she's so fast that she's practically a green streak, and she starts trying to kick him, each kick lifting him up further into the air, to the point that if he doesn't get out of the way he achieves an impressive height. Upon which, she leaps up into the air and brings him down to earth again in the most painful way possible.

Guile 1/-----==/=======|==-----\-------\0 Cammy
Thusly, Guile is kicked in the chin by the green streak of light which is Cammy White. He is lifted up in the air by the first kick, knocked six over twelves into the air. The second kick catches him in the north and south, flipping him over once again as he is propelled even higher into the air in an impressive display of strength by the former Killer Bee. As she leaps towards him to slam him into the ground, Guile retains his equilibrium, pulls his arms out wide and sweeps them together quickly, "SONIC BOOM!" Waves of sound ripple off his arms as he breaks the sound barrier repeatedly, the energy coelescing in front of him and then arcing towards Cammy.
Gravity takes its toll on the flying commando, bringing him down to Earth in an only slightly nicer way than Cammy had intended. He hits the ground and drops into a roll, the momentum enough to turn him backwards to land on his hands and knees. He lifts a hand up from the ground, readjusting his jaw with a noticable pop as he begins to work his way back to his feet.
"Good, Cammy! Keep up the assault, but watch your pacing. Don't tire out too quickly."
Cammy gets blown backwards by the ki-blast that he was just talking about not too long ago, having taken it right in the belly while in mid air. And it's true, she does look quite tired now, glistening a bit with sweat under the light of the oildrum fire, her long tuft of blonde hair looking rather bedraggled. She pants for breath softly, while regarding him.
And she seems to be taking his advice, as she slowly circles him, but doesn't actually yet approach. No doubt Guile will come to her, one way or another. "...yes." she replies, voice distant, but thats not too surprising given how dazed she looks in general.

Guile finally has his foot, watching Cammy as she also regains wherewithal in the fight. He returns to his bouncing stands and then begins to move towards her on the bounce. Changing his pace quickly, Guile lets forward, coming around with his right arm to hook Cammy's lead arm. A moment later, he drops to a knee and attempts to hook Cammy's leg. He flexes his powerful abdomen, using leverage from his arm to pull down and leverage from her hooked leg to push up, demonstrating in combat the throw that he showed off earlier with the Russian. Should Cammy fail to defend against it, he will flip her over his shoulder and slam her to the ground next to him.

Cammy's arm is hooked - but it's like trying to hold on to a streak of greased lightning, as she promptly wriggles like an eel, and slips out of his grasp. She doesn't even need olive oil, unlike Certain Others.
But oh, now Guile is close to her as he was trying to grapple. She shifts around, staying close to him as she slips right under one of his arms, her tuft of her brushing against his arm, and then next thing he knows she's wrapping her arms around his midriff. And then - she hauls on him as hard as she can, hoping to pull him back over her head in a move that Guile no doubt knows intimately himself.
A suplex!

In spite of all the flashy kicks, the Flash Kicks, and the sonic projectiles, this is the kind of close-in fighting that Guile truly loves and his style doesn't offer enough of. Tracking Cammy's movement with a simple placing of a hand on her hip with she wiggles free of his throw, Guile is able to slightly adjust the angle of his arm to keep Cammy from getting a good grip around his midsection for the suplex. Further, he is able to push her arm out to the side as he stands up and turns into her. The effect is essentially that he slips around behind her.
By virtue of the placement of his arms, it is fairly simple to lean forward into her back and attempt to snake his arms around her midsection. With a pop of his hips, he attempts to pull her into his own Dragon Suplex, falling straight to his own back with her in tow.

This is becoming a wrestling bout very fast. Cammy slips around and behind Guile, only to find that Guile manages to twist and work himself around behind her in turn, and then when she feels arms going around her middle she suddenly scrunches up and her whole upper body slips through his grasp, leaving him just clutching the fluffy tip of a braid. The leotard proves quite difficult to hold on to, she's smooth all over with little to grab, so it does have some combat purpose after all.
At this point she's flat on the ground, but one booted foot snakes out to catch his leg and try and haul Guile over even as the doll is leaping back up to her feet. It looks like the both of them are very much experts at this style of fighting! But then, both of their styles share a great deal of similarity.

Guile 1/----===/=======|=------\-------\0 Cammy
Guile attempts to hold on to anything politically correct in his attempt take toss Cammy over the horizon but is thusly foiled by Cammy's natural quickness and Delta Red's killer fashion sense. He keeps his feet planted as he looks around for the fellow commando.
He finally spots her breakdancing near his feet, and catches her just as she wraps his leg. He reaches down, attempting to stop her with a throw of his own. He fails miserably as he is tossed on his arse, laughing all the way down. He rolls back to his feet with a grin on his face, watching Cammy carefully as he sizes up her next move.
Cammy is already surging up even as Guile was falling over, though it wasn't a very heavy fall, and so when Guile is getting up, she's already hopping towards him, looking to take advantage of her position. Evidently she's bored of throws, or is merely trying out something else, as she lifts up one leg, and lashes out at him, aiming a boot at his head.
Assuming she hits him she then bounces off in a somersault, and comes back down onto her feet a goodly distance away, and quickly lifts up her gauntleted arms ready to ward off whatever counterattacks may be coming in.

Guile manages to get up to his feet just in time to duck back and take the full force of Cammy's Cannon Spike on the meaty part of his left bicep. The impact is so stronge as to actually dig his feet into the dirt and push him back a few inches. He straightens up, grunting as he rubs at his arm, "I think you still have your sting."
He drops back into his stance, bouncing once again and then bounding towards Cammy with a quick hop. He starts with a quick jab, aimed for her chin, then follows with a series of right hooks before ending with a powerful uppercut which fully extends into the air but doesn't quite get off the ground enough to rival his brother-in-law's Shoryuken.

Cammy is evidently very fast, and seemingly only getting faster as time goes on, as she seems to focus more and more on the fight at hand. Unlike Guile, she seems very serious too, her face a fixed mask of determination still after all this time, her eyes locked on him with singleminded intensity. Clearly not much of a casual talker, not when fighting anyway, even if it is a spar, with friends all around. She shies away from him as the punch comes in, and then does a snappy backflip before the hooks can follow it up, leaving Guile punching the air.
As she seems to have had better luck with the throw game so far, she quickly hops back in again, going in low so one shoulder slams against his midriff. One arm reaches out around his hip to take hold of him just as a leg kicks out at his feet, looking to up end him roughly and send him spinning to the deck.

Guile glances down at Cammy as she grabs him by the waist, a note of confusion in his eyes. Said confusion disappears as his eyes widen when his feet are kicked from under him and he is thrown a good distance away. He endures the attack, rolling back to his feet with his eyes narrowed. He places a steadying hand on the ground, pushing himself up and then torwards Cammy. He executes a high-flying sideways flip, landing in a crouch in front of her. He launches upwards, bringing a sonic energy laden foot up behind him in order to impact against Cammy's chin. He continues following through with another flashkick and then another! He lands on his feet in a crouch again, watching Cammy carefully.

Cammy was expecting something like this, it was about time for Guile to bust out his best moves. The Doll may not be thinking all that consciously about this, mostly running on instinct, but that does have certain advantages. As soon as she sees Guile flip up into the air, chi energy flaring into life around his feet, she quickly goes into a defensive huddle, her gauntlets held high, absorbing the power and force.
And then, before Guile can assess the damage which he is no doubt going to do, she's leaping in! This time without all that much subtlety. She feints another kick, but then she draws her muscled leg back harmlessly and one hand abruptly snaps out for his throat, trying to grip it, and then actually lift him up into the air, at least briefly, until he gets free! She's certainly stronger than she looks - not all that unusual for female fighters who aren't superthighed Chun-Li, that said.

Misjudging the attack angle Cammy delivers her feint on, Guile is caught completely unawares as he is grabbed by the throat. He attempts to counter with a throw but ultimately fails to make that stick as well. As soon as his booted feet find purchase on the ground, Guile breaks the choke hold and leaps away from the Delta Red fighter.
He falls into his fighting stance again, his eyes narrowed as he circles and watches for her next attack.
Cammy decides it might well be time for a risky move now, to move in for the kill as it were! She narrows her eyes at him, evidently calculating the next task in her doll-brain. The gathered soldiers all around are blanked out of her mind - though they are no doubt all leaning forward, some watching in silent fascination, others cheering one or the other according to preference. The two of them clearly closely matched, and both extremely competent.
She eventually makes her choice - leaping up into the air, wrapping her arms around her legs to form a tiny ball, braids flying through the air. She's aimed right at him, trying to bowl him over by shock of impact, but to make matters worse, if she does manage to hit she'll grab at him and heave to help send him flying, hopefully ending up with him on the ground and her pretty much standing on him.

Guile watches Cammy leap into the air, his eagle eyes tracking her movement into a spinning ball then moving towards him. He seems about to do something to stop the attack dead in its tracks, but instead he lifts his arms up and absorbs the knock there. He is in turned picked up and haved into the air, yet he flips in an agile manner not quite fitting his build. He rolls forward through the air, planting his feet on the ground and turning back towards Cammy in a defensive posture. He calls out, "Come on! Show me what you really got!"
He holds his present position, feet digging deeper into the ground as he prepares for her next assault.

Cammy hmms softly to herself, and begins slowly prowling around Guile. She's impressed with his ability to weather her attacks and get out of the way of most of the pain that she's sending his way. He's clearly slowing a bit, but he's not out, and still a deadly adversary. She studies his posture, settled there waiting for her to come to him, looking for potential weaknesses.
Some hint of her old doll demeanour seems to be back in her again, as she lifts up one hand to do a quick cutting motion across her throat with one finger in an unmistakeable challenge. Maybe Guile can be lured towards her, and in so doing make a costly error, perhaps.

Raising an eyebrow after a moment, Guile smirks as the challenge is issued. He takes a step back, momentarily studying her as he begins to match her prowling the sparring circle. He tilts his head slightly, shifting his flattop's angle by almost twenty degrees, "Cammy, look at how you're thinking. Remember this. You're working on your previous training. You're fighting like the Cammy I know from the past. You're confident and you're capable. Never forget this power coursing through your veins right now. With it, you will survive."
He slides a foot back, leaning forward as he is gestured on. He grins grimly as he pulls his hands back behind him. With a quick sweep forward, Guile shouts, "SONIC BOOM!"

Cammy blinks at Guile, a little confused for a moment - but only for a moment, as when a blast of chi energy forms between his arms and rips towards her with a devastating concussion, her mind is suddenly drawn back to the fight!
Being acrobatic she instinctively leaps upwards, managing to achieve an impressive height, before hurtling down upon him, closing the distance in an eyeblink - and hopefully landing right on top of him. Strong legs wrap around his neck once more - or upper body if she can't quite manage the neck - but this time she has the benefit of momentum, and if she hauls him to the ground in a flip like planned it's really going to hurt.

Cammy half expected Guile to go down and not get up after that. It was one of her big moves after all. But no, he takes a licking and keeps on kicking, like a fighty Swiss wristwatch. As soon as it becomes apparent that he's still up though she's promptly chasing him down, not giving him time to recover. Looking to pick him off now that he's reeling.
She makes her approach, and tries to grab his arm, pinning him around in a half nelson if he's so foolish as to let the slippery doll manage to get a hold of him. And then she starts trying to practically wrench his arm off, working those joints most painfully! And when he finally gets out of that, she will of course trip him up to unbalance him so she can lead in to the next attack.

Foolishness has nothing to do with how Cammy got a hold of his arm and pinned it behind him in a half-nelson. She is quick! Guile's eyes widen as his arm is pinned behind his head. When he is tripped to the ground, his head bounces and his eyes roll backwards. He continues to lay there and it's pretty certain at this point that the American commando is not getting up.
It doesn't take long for Guile to open his eyes and take a quick look around, a look of confusion on his face. He looks towards Cammy, smiles and then nods to her, "Good fight, now switch off, assimilate what you've learned, and be ready for our rematch." The last is delivered from the ground with a smile.
Switching off seems to be almost a literal thing in Cammy's case. At first, she looks down at him blankly, face grave. "Mission complete." she mutters softly, and then finally cracks a faint, somewhat shy smile, leaning forward to offer him a red gauntleted hand to get up. "See, I remember some things... sort of. I'm not entirely sure it's all that pleasant an experience though. Exhilarating in a way, weird in another.". She turns to frown at the Delta Red guys, blushing slightly, and waves a hand at them. "Oh, do pipe down!" she commands. Soldiers can be so raucous at times, and of course her team are doing their bit to support her. All in a good natured way, of course.
"Would you like some tea, sir?" she offers Guile. "I've been introduced to it by some of my comrades, and it is quite nice to relax with one after some hard work, I've found...".
Guile narrows his eyes momentarily at the mission accomplished given by Cammie. He schools his face to neutrality as she seems to come out of it. He grins, taking the red gauntletted hand and getting pulled up by the Delta Red operative. He grins towards the other Delta Red commandos assembled and sounds off, "Cut it! We still kicked your teeth in during the Revolution!" He grins good naturedly towards them and then asks, "Aren't you supposed to be working on your wrestling? Back to it! On the bounce, soldiers!"
He turns to look back towards Cammie with a smile, "Seeing as there isn't an over abundance of liquor or beer except for that Russian vodka-slash-pee water, I'll take you up on that. Come on..." With that, he begins walking back towards the main part of camp.
