Elves certainly didn't attach themselves readily. They took such admissions extremely seriously, and always felt that such promises should never be made lightly. If nothing else, then it would surely have been rude to make a promise that one couldn't have kept. Exhaling softly, he shut his eyes and figured that he was admitting things too soon. That was obvious to him, but there were also obvious reasons. Depending on how this battle went, they might never have had another opportunity to speak.<br/><br/>Considering her response, however, he had certainly hoped that he hadn't upset her. Regardless of any personal feelings, though, he knew only all too well that he had a duty to perform.<br/><br/>Waking up extremely early the next morning, he had hoped to meet Sorin one last time before she departed with her Galleon Ships. There were six thousand under her command, and he realized that they would have needed her guidance.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, he also figured that it would have been a good idea to ask for one further moment with her before they had left. After all, she was his direct commanding officer. While he had the ability to make decisions without her presence, at least in terms of skill, he didn't actually have the licit authority to do so.<br/><br/>Naturally therefore he had wanted to make sure that she was on the same page with him when it came to running the attack. They were going to need to be if they had wanted to make this successful. Then again, an element of surprise might have gone a really long way to getting them closer to their real goals.
