Chapter 1: Day 2 Range Day!

Virel spends the first part of the range evolution watching rather than rushing to the line. When his turn comes, he brings the IH-4 up without ceremony and works methodically, letting familiarity settle in alongside the subtle differences in recoil and movement. The lighter gravity is noticeable, but not disruptive; he adjusts without comment. For the remainder of the session, he does exactly what is expected of him: following instructions, rotating through platforms, and observing. When talk turns to liberty and Tsoukfaeks mentions the Red Howl House, Virel doesn’t immediately respond, waiting for a consensus. Seeing the group seems to be inclined to go together, he gives a small nod and adds evenly, "The Red Howl House sounds… agreeable."

As for Chaala's comment. He nods towards her before glancing at the others briefly and says, "That seems reasonable." Then a brief pause to look towards Tsoukfaeks, "So long as we stay within guidance."
