First up you manage to pull off that amazing sweep and nail the Crushers perfectly, snaring them between our lances. You’re a great leader, you know, and are fantastic at getting the best out of your men....Also, thanks again for agreeing to handle Moshe, It wasn’t an easy call, and I didn’t want to put the pressure on you either. But, again, I think you’d be the best at getting him into shape, and not just because his ‘Mech matches your lance.  I wasn’t ready for Dad’s death; I mean, I don’t think anyone ever really is for that sort of thing, but at the same time, I was way too young and certainly not as prepared as I could have been.  Hell, I know I had shirked off duties and responsibilities in past while running off and doing other crazy things....I know I couldn’t have made it this far without good people supporting me, and you’re pretty much top of that list.”</em><br/><br/>Allia gave Kari a soft smile as she opened the door.  It dawned on her that she hadn't gone back to her small room and changed or showered before coming, but hoped that Kari wouldn't notice.  Her reddish pink hair up in a pony tail hanging off the back of her shoulders must have dried by now from the heat in her cockpit.  Allia looked around the room, accepting that the commander's room wasn't much larger than hers, she sat down on the edge of Kari's bunk so she could be across the room from Kari.<br/><br/>Listening intently to Kari's praise and thanks for what had happened today, Allia couldn't help but blush.  She felt her body start to tingle with the blush and fought helplessly to hide the change in her face.  As Kari tossed her wavy red hair around and showed off her heavily tattooed arms, Allia found it harder and harder to hide what she was feeling.  And it didn't help that Kari was lavishing praise after praise on her in a way that simply made Allia feel like she couldn't possibly deserve all of the praise.<br/><br/>Finally taking her eyes from the intricate pattern of images on Kari's arm she looked up to catch Kari's eyes.  With shy flirty tilt to her head and a twist of a smile on her lips she replied.  "Well I'm not sure I deserve all of your praise, but I'm glad to see that I've made a valuable impact on the Suns."  Her eyes traveled around the room for a moment, trying to take her attention off Kari.  "I know how hard it is to live up to the expectations of our fathers.  Mine wasn't too happy I wanted to leave Hesperus and find work with Mercs, but in the end he knows this is where I belong."  She said with a sparkle in her eyes.  "Just as I'm sure you're father is proud of you wherever he is watching you from."<br/><br/>Allia slowly reached across the space between them and laid a hand softly on Kari's knee.  "And don't worry about me supporting you in regards to Moshe.  I'm always here to support you no matter what.  I'm not going to kiss your ass, unless you want me too..."  She couldn't help but smile as the comment escaped her mouth.  "I know your father put some sort of faith in that kid, and I know it was a hard choice for you to let him run his mech in the unit.  His problem is he hasn't been trained."  Leaning back on the bunk, she continued.  "I'm just glad you supported my terms.  I did that more to see how much latitude you'd give me.  And you didn't disappoint.  Her smile grew.  "I just hope I can do something with him.  This rage issue of his might be too much to overcome."
