"Are you seriously thinking of helping the legion?" Arcade asked. "Do you have any idea who they are, what they do?"
"The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." The courier responded, as enigmatic as always.
"What?" Was all Arcade managed to say.
The courier turned to Arcade, locking eyes with him in the process. "Do you trust me?"
Arcade looked away momentarily, blindsided by the sudden, intense question. "Of course I do."
Courier Six turned back to his binoculars. "Then trust me on this, I know what I'm doing. Just like I knew what I was doing with Benny, just like I knew what I was doing with Dixon, and just like I know what I'm doing with House."
Arcade couldn't argue there, he saw firsthand the intelligence and lethality Six was capable of.
They stood on top of a rocky hill overlooking Cotton Wood Cove. Boone was somewhere on the other side of the encampment, no doubt itching to start shooting. Just yesterday, they were planning an assault on the legion stronghold. That was until Vulpes Inculta delivered the 'Mark of Caesar' to Six with a request to speak with the man. Immediately he began forming a plan, a plan he refused to share with the other members of the group. Arcade was honestly surprised Boone agreed to come along. Cass and Veronica both stayed at the Lucky 38. Bringing women to a legion fort was not a good idea.
"Just be careful around these guys, okay?" Arcade responded.
"You too." The courier said without emotion.
"Oh trust me, I wi- wait, what?" Arcade asked.
"You're coming with me." Six said, barely containing his goofy smile.
"You must be joking." He asked.
"Nope, not even a little." Was the Couriers response.
"You expect me to politely conduct myself in the presence of that sociopath?" Arcade almost yelled.
"Yes." Was the simple reply.
Arcade stared at The Courier for a moment before slumping his shoulders. "Dammit, let's get it over with then."
I really don't feel like I captured arcades character at all here. It just didn't seem to flow at all.
