Emily looked over at the shower and was relieved to see it, a shower meant she could get herself fresh and change into some nice clothes before he got any more views of her rear end. She stepped inside entering the temperature she wanted before stepping in. She got out, wishing she had a towel or something then quickly put on her clothes not wanting him to see her nude body, he might of said that he wouldn't look and he wasn't a horny teenager, but she really didn't trust that. She flexed slightly glad to be in her normal dress, she felt so much more comfortable in it.<br/>"Ah that's better, I feel so refreshed. A shower is just what I needed."<br/>She had washed the tears she had cried away, feeling rather silly about crying in front of him. And how he reacted, it seemed he wasn't good at dealing with crying people. She usually only did that sort of thing when she was alone, she wanted people to think she was strong and crying right in front of them was considered a weakness to her, at least her father had always said that but of course he was a man, and men usually thought that.<br/>"Sorry about the crying, I just dropped my guard for a second. I am not used to people treating me the way  you did. I have to say you have some guts to say the things you did to me."<br/>But with what he said, he wasn't used to dealing with females so maybe that is why he acted the way he did. She couldn't help but wonder if the fact he had so little interaction with them was on purpose. She knew when she was young her father kept her away from men, thinking they were going to be a distraction to her studies. As she shook out her wet hair, she thought about what he said about her career and  shook her head her brain rattling in her head. She shouldn't quit because of one mistake, and she shouldn't hate herself yet it was hard to get her mind out of the state it was in.<br/>"You really think I am that good? I guess my want to quit was a little hurried. I can't be a disappointment to the American troops can I? If they need me so badly, I guess I have no choice but to stay on. They say that once you fall off the horse, you have to get back on."<br/>She smiled as he forgave her so easily, it was good not to be on his black list. She could see how angry he could get, and seeing that was a little scary. She stuck out her hand towards him for a shake, indicating that they would be at a truce.<br/>"Thank you for forgiving me, I know I wouldn't if I was in your shoes. I was quite a monster there. I let my emotions govern me and I am ashamed I let that happen. A good general doesn't let that sort of thing happen, yet as you said I am human and humans make mistakes."<br/>She bows her head.<br/>"Hopefully we can be friends, even with your lack of knowledge about how to act around a female. Certainly with experience you will learn. You know when I was a kid I didn't hang around with a lot of males. The only one I knew was my father. I never had a relationship with anyone myself."<br/>She then blinked slightly as she talked about her father, thinking about what he had said about him being a father figure to this boy. With what he said, and how talented he seemed to be at making things she pretty much knew that her father would think of him as a son, but why had he never spoken about him before?<br/>"Strange, my father never spoke of you before. I wonder if he was trying to avoid me becoming jealous of you. How long have you served under him? I bet he didn't want me to know about you because you are a male, he wanted me to be away from them growing up."<br/>She wondered what it would be like if she had known him when she was younger, perhaps things would of been different.
