The sheer rush of adrenaline of showing off her hat and having it be admired was wearing off enough for sensible thoughts to slowly creep back in her skull to replace the cacophony of 'Look at me! Look at my amazing HAT! It's so the best!'. The other Wölfentreuen was also recovering from her initial shock, and spouted a litany of words as too many questions tried to rush past the elderly hound's lips. She was old, older than Anje even. Where Anje's war with old age was still raging in full, the other hound was losing to it. The sight of the elderly hound twisted Anje's gut. She was terrified of this fate, of becoming a war-weary hound no longer fit for duty, robbed of any ability to die gloriously for the reich.<br/><br/>Anje didn't let her apprehensions show. The Hound slowly dropped her proud pose. The Rittmeister wanted her to inspire the Unterelfe. To instill in them the notion that they should follow the Hound's orders. So the Wölfentreuen didn't shift in her usual stance, instead copying the Rittmeister's stance to look as loyalty-inspiring despite and tall (being of similar height) as the Reik Elf that had promoted her. Trying to look as orderly as her mental image of the Rittmeister, Anje casually gestured for Angelica to relax her salute.<br/><br/><b>"The Rittmeister has seen fit to promote me to her second hand in order to better control the other Unterelfe for the portal mission."</b>The warhound informed the armouryhound.<b>"She trusts that I will inspire the next generations of Wölfentreuen to serve the Reich even better."</b><br/><br/>The fresh stabswachtmeister continued her walk to the armoury, slowing a little when she noticed that the other Hound wasn't quite as quick anymore.<b> "She has issued that a stabswachtmeister uniform should be personalized for my use."</b>Wölfentreuen usually wore mass produced clothes in limited sizes. Having something properly fit her was going to be weird.<b>"I'll need a way to safely keep the new revolver on my person too..."</b><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
