Graff listened patiently as Elisa talked trying to take in what she was saying, everyone knew what a Centurion looked like for the most part after Justin Allard's famed 'stunt'.  "Yeah, sorry haven't heard of the Cavaliers, and I grew up rewatching taped Trideo recordings of of his climb to become Solaris' Champ right before the 4th Succession War so I'm familiar with the Centurion."  The commentators always talked about how it was non-stock and he removed all the long range capabilities out of his mech in favor of a big punch.<br/><br/>Still hearing that she grew up in a Merc company was a little shocking and his eyes showed as much, "I wouldn't have guessed you as a Merc brat."  Although truth be told there isn't much more that he would have guessed.<br/><br/>"Second chances is kind of why I'm here too I guess, my scores out of the academy weren't great.  It was either get lost in obscurity in some back water world or throw my hand in with a Mercenary Unit and see what happens.  So here I am."  Graff pretty much succinctly summed up his life story in those two sentences, sure there were a bunch of details about the hardships he had in the academy and the boring times before that but there's little reason to bore someone with that right away.  With a bit of a chuckle he continues, "I apologize it's not a very exciting story."
