Harrow nods once, checks that the bindings on his wrists are tight, and then he drops to all fours. Hey, Steve is technically taller than him like this!... Though not by much. "I'll be back as soon as I can," he says, and without any more delay turns and is off running.
A solid half-hour passes with no sign that he'll be returning. And then another ten. And five. But he's never been one to leave a tag undone for two weeks abandon a friend, and this time is no different. He arrives walking back on two legs with nothing in his hands, but there is something different about him. There's some kind of rope tied across his chest, lashing something to his back. It's mostly hidden, but one small side of it is visible from under his arm: green, glinting... It looks like a large sheet of glass?
When he's finally in front of Steve again he undoes his wrist wrappings and uses his freed hands to remove the object from his back and hand it to Steve without the need to twist around. It's... Some kind of circular, green crystal disc?
"It's a shield," he explains, readjusting his handpaws so they're no longer in the way of the design on the front of the buckler. Most of the incredibly smooth crystal has been shaped into an intricate eagle in the very center, wheat in one talon and arrows in another. Its chest is protected by a heater shield with the design of an American flag on it. Rays of light have been carved to radiate upward from beneath its tail, while the outside of the buckler is ornamented with a ring of stars – fifty, presumably. It's certainly based off of an American seal, but could pass for a classic warrior's herald shield.
"I saw how well you used that buckler when we trained a while back. I figured if you had a shield of your own..." Whatever he figured is left unsaid. He inches the shield a little closer for Steve to take. Try it on!
My paid icons lapsed, pretend I used the serious worgen icon haha
