Gentle
It was a surprise. No, a shock. The French corporal, a man whose fiery and often impatient personality made up for what he lacked in height, exhibited a quiet calm as he dealt with the newest members of their operation. He often wore his irritation on his sleeve; but now, instead of the usual frustrated mutterings under his breath, his communication turned into gentle words of encouragement. Unseen by both prisoners and guards alike, he tenderly worked with their canine partners; building on Oskar's work and creating allies instead of killers. The pawns of the enemy were now friends.
