Church smiled, and was of course glad to hear the woman was again up for such a thing, but he did catch onto that sadness.  He didn't rightly know what someone went through in PES.  And he didn't really want to know either.  His planet while yes it had the union issues in the early mine shut down, there had never been an idea of separation or rebellion against the Empire.  The Empire kept planets like his safe.  Whether it be from orcs, xenos, tiliths, or a hundred other monstrosities, it was a hard universe to defend against.  And besides the Empire herself, there were only a view other humans civilizations which were making a go of it.<br/><br/>"No one cares about the loyalty flag doll.  You patch us up and keep us alive.  No soldier cares about your views when you save their life."  He gave her a soft kiss.  "You wanna talk about loyalty.  The soldiers in our platoon will be more loyal to you after today than they ever will the Emperor.  And that doll, is a fact."  Heresy was he was going right now.  Plain and blatant in the eyes of many.  But Church was no hardliner and in truth, most people in the Guard weren't either.  They spent to much time dying for the Emperor to care whether or not someone took a jab at the Bastard.  But still, a part of him said he should keep such thoughts to himself.  Even if it was for the benefit of a pretty girl.
