Ciel grew irritated quickly, upon hearing his partner's words. "Don't sell yourself short, you don't need a combative quirk to be amazing. For example, we can deal with the shape-shifter easily with your quirk, I believe." He boldly stated, before going on to elaborate. "I'm thinking 'palette' as our secret code word. Since you can change the color of things, which means you'll be able to change the color of my shirt to avoid confusion." He explained, through whispers.
He held a confident smile now, as if he had something else planned. "Katlynn, your quirk is amazing. It goes well with my own, for this game at least." He'd state, before going ahead to introduce his quirk. "Oh right, my quirk allows me to make use of the iron within my body to make anything, but it will be made of steel. I can make my hand become a sword, or just make a sword that I can hold normally." He said, quietly, making sure nobody listened in. "Though, what I'm thinking is- I make a fake flag made of steel, then you change the color of it to their color. This will make them give up, as they will believe their flag was already taken from them. Then you can go in and take their real one, while I boast about how easy it was or something." Ciel said, retaining his hushed tone.
Ciel put his hand on her shoulder, accompanied by a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, we got this." He said, raising his other hand towards her and in an instant, a steel dagger emerged from his skin. "Take this, I can't be doing all of the fighting." He spoke in a joking tone, afterwards he removed his other hand from her shoulder.
