8:13 PM
Lieutenant General Natalie Letālia stood outside the command building, watching the last convoy of Trucks carrying Eirian soldiers arrive into the base. Everything is going to plan. Onto Masenma We Go!. The Leader of the convoy got out, walked over to the Lt. General and saluted. "At ease. Report, Colonel". She said, nodding at him. "The Convoy faced no trouble. Troop morale is high, but expected to dip a little while adjusting". She nodded again. "Thank you, Colonel Telà. Go get some rest". He saluted again. "Yes, Lieutenant General". He walked fast back to the barracks. She stood on the steps for awhile, looking up at the night sty
Her Second in Command, Major General Jackson Gray, Walked up beside Her. "Is something Wrong, Nat?". Normally, That informal of a greeting would be responded with a reprimand, but since it was only Letālià and Gray talking, and Gray has served under Letālià for years, and had become a dear friend, she didn't mind. "Nothing huge. I just don't want these soldiers to die at my fault. You know, it's only eighteen thousand troops' lives in my hands. No pressure".
Gray Laughed. "I get you. It's the downside of the job. I've seen you take on Armies of Darrin's Forces and be the only one not quaking. Why not here?".
She looked down. "My brother was injured in the Merēta Convention Center Bombing. I got word today that they had to amputate his leg. I don't want to let him down, to not avenge him, to make his suffering in vain".
Gray looked Shocked. "I'm so sorry, Natalie. I shouldn't have brought it up".
She shook her head fiercely. "No. I am glad you did. I needed to express myself".
They were Silent for a Moment, and then Gray Spoke. "Can I make a suggestion? Instead of seeing it as extra pressure, use it as extra motive to avenge him. It may not be easy, but you will. I know you will".
"Thanks, Jack. Well, I probably should hit the bunks. Thank you for your support, Jack. It means a lot. Goodnight!".
He smiled. "Goodnight, Lieutenant General". Letālia walked back to her quarters, smiling the whole way.
