Fortrakt moved first, removing his pauldron and replacing it with the metallic shoulder plate. He gave the securing belts a hard tug as his claws moved towards the second pauldron. Gilda removed her leather braces, grabbing the metallic replacements. Once she secured them around her forelegs, her claws shot towards the vest. She snapped her beak when the soldier presenting the vest came forward to help her, making him wisely back away as she finally wore the leather clothing without assistance. However, she would not touch the chain.
