The Eagles are screeching

[phantomnpcs]

The 76 Eagles were still milling around, but in the last few days, they were appearing in pairs, and instead of passively staring at people, they started to approach people walking alone - minorities mainly - and started to ask questions, most people they talked to start to back off, especially as the militia members start to pat suspicious bulges on their hips and chest.

Getting in earshot, or having one approached you quickly reveal the fact that the questions where a mish-mash asking the legality of the person’s presence in the united states or if they had anything to do with the Phantom Thieves.

They’re careful not to actually touch anyone, but the tone of their voice, the patting of their concealed weapons, the slight smirk that appears when they successfully spooked someone, and their aggressive stance made it clear they hold no good will towards the unfortunate target of their attention.

Usually, Augustine would have passed through the sidewalks peacefully. Instead, he found some businessmen being interviewed by a person wearing a biker-style vest. If he can remember, he was one of those 76 Eagles that were in the news lately.

He is curious at what they are talking about, not to mention he is worried regarding their mission to bring freedom to the country. Without making himself stand out, he quietly sat on one of the tables outside of a cafe and started eavesdrop on the conversation.

"I sw-swear, I don't a thing about those thieves..." The businessman - an asian man stammered briefly as he tries to step aside, but was blocked.

"How can we be sure that you're telling the truth?" The taller of the two eagles questioned, before smirking while stepping aside, patting his concealed weapon before they turned their attentions to a petite woman, squaring off to block the sidewalk.

Upon he heard their conversation, Augustine grew grim at what one of the two Eagles just said to him. It makes it more suspicious regarding their movements against the businessmen. In any case, it is enough to make him get out of his seat and confront them.

"Excuse me, but I was hoping to know what you were talking about with that man." He doesn't know if that stops them from still going to the woman, but it is enough to learn more about these people and the 76 Eagles themselves.

"Excuse you?" The broader - to put it politely - of the two whirled onto Sycamore, giving him the stink eye. "So you interest in dealing with the thieves properly?" The man asked, as the pair give him a look over, letting the woman go.

Well, this is not what he was expecting, but at least he is able to learn more about the Militia itself. But not wanting to be like that businessman from earlier, he decided to pretend that he is interested in their mission.

"You could say that. I heard about them on the news and I was surprised by the events regarding them and the Inquisitors. Though I can't say if they are criminals or not, I might be interested in your mission."

The two glance at each other, while the thinner of the two steps forward. "What are you feelings about our rights to defend our selves?" He quizzed, their eyes trained on his body language.

That might be very tough to answer. He already knew what his answer was, but given this Militia is vastly different in terms of their ideals and missions, he knew that there is a chance that he made an enemy before the Metaverse Nav app can respond.

"That depends on what kind of situation we're in. But in my opinion, it might pose the risk of taking advantage of that right to abuse anyone even if they are not an attacker. But like I said, it depends on every person."

He hopes that answer might be logical, but again, he had a feeling that this might not bode well unless they let him go without any warning.
