Tetsuo stiffened slightly at her first touch on the scar, then relaxed again, swallowing. "An elemental's claw." he said quietly. "From the Ghost Bears on Garstadt. When I lost my mech they felt I would make a good bondsman. I disagreed." He turned slightly to face her full on.

He smiled slightly at her.
