Kokuten head was wracking itself with trying to figure out the best solution for the situation at hand. Mainly, he just kept kicking himself of how unfair it was that all he had to tackle with was sub-par security equipment and a medical degree. Sure, he had been in similar situations before, but he hadn't been in command in those past experiences.
He placed a hand on his helmet for a second. At least, as far as it had come, the squad he had just recently been put in charge of was following his orders. With that, he simply put his reservations of his own positions to the side and kept his apparent cool.
Scarlet's lunge at the door caught his attention. He then saw Akio question her motives, which made him decide to wait for her response.
Then, Deacon explained the con of getting other innocents involved in their escape. Which seemed reasonable, but it there best choice so far was to escape and find a better means to defend themselves.
"But what do I know? After all, I am just the heathen dog, right?"
This comment struck Kokuten at home, seemingly poking a small hole in the Doctor's heart. It became apparent that he had offended the Kohanian in telling him to desist of amputating and decapitating his enemies for parts. Though, at the same time, he found Deacon as being childish for still dwelling on the matter.
The Nepleslian inside of Kokuten wanted to punch him in the mouth, and tell him to suck it up. The Blue Blooded upbringing in him wanted to agree, that he
was a heathen. A quick solution, but one that would just create more tension and a longer lasting dispute. Plus, they weren't exactly the kindest and most settling. No, this situation had to be handled like a Chiaki would.
"Deacon, first of all, it is unhealthy to downplay yourself in such a matter. You are correct, we risk putting more people in danger. However, you must remember that we are in simila, if not the same danger. Our armor is everything to laugh at and so are our weapons. That's why we're escaping off to the Weapons Lab, to find much less laughable equipment." Kokuten said in a somewhat relaxed tone.
