[ WP ] Make a banal discussion between two people sound sophisticated/classy


 A skull sits on a devastated battlefield, littered with countless corpses. A man crushes it underfoot, his power-armored boot coated in yellow paint. The man peered around, sliding the firing pin back on his massive gun. On his right pauldron; a black fist, enshrined in a wreathe. Movement behind him. The soldier scans the battlefield then turns, his eyes widening behind the blood-red screens of his helmet. 
 
 A considerably older Marine stood there, a massive sword leaning on his shoulder. His wrinkled face lit up with recognition. `` Brother Julius. How is your patrol?'' He asks, lowering his blade to his side, his prosthetic grip tightening. The other marine bowed his head and began to speak. 
 
 `` Captain, the patrol offers nothing. There is no enemy here, just the dead.'' He nods towards the vast, empty valley. The fighting had ended a day before. The Captain glanced off into the distance, a scowl forming on the older man's face. He peered over to his colleague. 
 
 `` Nothing?'' He asked. `` Well.'' He blinked. Centuries of battle and he's stuck with idle conversation. Here he was hoping for more aliens to kill. He nudged a jagged iron'jaw' with his boot, the still-attached greenskin head behind it. `` Is there anything else going on?'' He asked, sheathing the blade with a magnetic tether by his side. 
 
 The lieutenant thought for a moment, shrugged and shook his head. `` No, sir. Nothing at all.'' 
 
 The older marine sighed.
