Chimper #3460
Rekuna remembers the steam from their ramen bowl fogging up the polished crimson armor of an Imperial Guard. They were just a trainee in the grand Teikodian Empire, small and insignificant, holding out their chopsticks with a piece of pork. The guard, a veteran of a dozen campaigns, just stared, their expression unreadable. Rekuna’s own eyes were wide with terror and hope. Then, the guard grunted, leaned down, and took the offering. Ever since that day, this has been Rekuna’s only strategy. While others train with katanas, Rekuna masters the perfect noodle. They truly believe in Kenji’s vision of uniting all Chimpers, but they figure the first step to any great alliance is a full stomach. Their perpetually stunned expression is simply genuine shock that it keeps working.
