Wal'Dron nodded to Asramael, it was if the squad leader could see the dark conflict in the intellectual Raven Guard's mind. "Yes, squad leader." he merely spoke and unstrapping his Bolter, tweaked his fire selector to select the Stalker Rounds he requisitioned. He felt comfortable enough to keep the Boltgun held in his off-hand as with his strong hand he took the grip of the chainsword he requisitioned and let it off the maglock and readied it also. Just incase the teleportarium dropped them into the thick of a mob of Boyz. As the power drained with each lance shot at the Ork vessel, Wal'Dron found almost a sense of peace as the dark slunk around him, each moment a feeling of grace that both The Emperor and Corvus watched over him.<br/><br/>Less than minutes before the shields would be down. He was readied now, so in the quiet and as the lights slunk on and off leaving him in moments of darkness, Wal'Dron stood in silence as he dwelt on his position of being a Son of the Night. He looked down upon the Bolter, rechecking it was ready to fire the correct rounds. He looked down upon his chainsword and thought in a dour grimness over the sense of pride he senselessly exposed in taking the Space Wolf's wager. He gave a single glance back to Steinolf. He was in agreement in part with the Battle-Brother that the wait, the quiet before the gathering storm could be hard, though Wal'Dron tried usually to consider tactical options, back-up plans and methods of extraction in these moments.<br/><br/>Wal'Dron was skilled with his chainsword, though not to the level of some of his Brothers here. He was not the worst either however, though he was less than agile in melee due to the methodology of the machine-spirits in this particular suit of Mk.6 Power Armour he wore. Still, a surprise and deft swipe may yet catch a greenskin unawares. "Through the vox we are bonded, Brother Steinolf. Squad Leader has recommended to be ready for melee. I just pray hope this wager does not end with us playing directly into the greenskin's hands. They are particularly adept in melee, where their real weakness lies in ranged combat." He didn't comment that he planned to have all his Brother's backs as they moved ahead, that he would do his best to make sure they would all come back alive.<br/><br/>He let the Wolf have his pride.
